POV Daily Driving a DSM with a PPG Dogbox

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

People have asked how streetable the PPG gearset is, well, here's a little clip of driving around town with it. It's a bit of a learning curve but not that difficult. I've learned you just need to be firm and direct. No need to slam gears like you hate it as some day, just be direct and shift when you mean it.
The biggest downside? It's LOUD. The camera doesn't really do it justice. Not only that but your neighbors will ask you what's broken in your car all the time. Oh ya, and it's easy as hell to money shift...don't ask.
TL:DR - Can you? Hell ya, should you? Not unless you have to lol

    Thanks for posting. It reminds me to go get mine running. Alternator went out... again... so I have to charge the battery after every drive. Or as I prefer to think of it, I've converted my DSM into a hybrid. :-)

    Is that a downshift at 2:10 or so? Picked up a dsm with a dog box and from what I’ve gathered, drive it with conviction. If I’m out cruising on the highway, in 5th, and wanted to downshift to 3rd, would you go from 5th to N to 3rd? Or straight from 5th to 3rd.

    It doesn't use syncros but rather large dogs and straight cut gears. So it can shift at any RPM with no issue but to down shift you need to rev-match because there's nothing there to slow the gears down to match their speeds when shifting.

    You sort of can but you need to release the load from the gears first and it just wears the dogs quicker. So it's better just to drive it like a normal transmission.
