Gareth , a quicker gearchange is the most economical "tweek" that you can make , it costs virtually nothing if you look after the box and service it regularily . Imagine an engine or suspension upgrade to make up the same time !
but whats the gear change difference between using a clutch and not using a clutch on a dog box?
they are great to smash through though
by the time you have actually made the leg movement and your hand is already on the gearlever, you have already changed gear before the clutch has chance to disengage and re-engage that then gives the gearbox problems and to its driven gear speeds and can lead to fluffed
shifts , though i would always shift down in any of quaifes dog boxes with the clutch, other quality doggers dont need the clutch !
my mates quaife dogger has blown up more times than its done miles
It will do ! Quaife use a Male and female Dog system instead of a decent dog ring , means the Gears wear out very quickly , on a proper box you can replace the dog rings , Quaifes invariably require Gears ! And their customer service is legendary
