Re: sequential gearbox, crx
The term sequential comes from how the tranny is shifted only. A standard H pattern lets choose any gear at any time. A sequential shifter lets you only select the next highest or lowest gear.
Sequential systems can be built into the transmission (which is usually the best since it will engineered for the faster shifting that sequential offers and more robust) or it can be a shifter mechanism external to the trans that converts from the standard H. These just use a barrel with grooves that is clicked around to selected the gears.
This company Ikeya makes sequential shifters to change from the H pattern.

Still looks like a few ppl in this thread don't know what a Sequential Gearbox is/does, Think of the way a motorcycle shifts, click up, the transmission shifts up a gear, click down, transmission shifts down a gear.....You'll see it alot on WRC cars.....or track cars with alot of power. The point of it is basically just to cut down shift times, and lose less rpm between throws.

Re: sequential gearbox, crx
Guys a sequential gearbox would not be hard to drive on the street. if your in second just click your shifter up two times to cruise in fourth. or if your in fifth and come to a stop just click it down a few times to first. You would probably have to have some type of lever setup to get into reverse like quads do you out it in firt and pull the lever and it's reverse.
It would be really cool because you could set your shifter up to just pull it back or push it forward to up or down shift.

Re: sequential gearbox, crx
the closest thingto sequential in a street car is DSG in the new VW/AUDI cars
they shift faster than ferrari's semi-auto POS
you are only out of gear for 8miiliseconds during shifting compared to ferrari's 150milliseconds

Ah, two clutches are the ----.
