S.
wrong,not sure where you got that from but its not correct at all.
My information is based on experience.
When we had H-patten dogboxes in the Pug 306 touring cars we found out that the dog got knocked of the gears within one event when they didnt use the clutch, so we got the drivers to use the clutch! this ment the dogs would last 2 to 3 events.
When running touring cars with sequenshal boxes with shift cut the drivers dont use the clutch but the gears still last 2 to 3 events.
Again its subject to the driving style of the driver
