Re: Tech Theory - Sequential Gearbox for road use

Hi friends,
The sequential synchronised manual shifting, has nothing to do with robotised/paddle shifting.
Sequential means that via a cam law on a drum, you can shift one gear after the other just by pulling the lever for up and pushing for down like motorcycles. No way to jump a gear.
Not dog for reliability and NVH purposes.
Only Gearfox has made it, because I am so crazy to insist in that way, which is the correct base for a real quick paddle shifting.
Shifting via a sequential makes more fun and it seams closer to a racing device.
The GearFox units are available, but...............the dollar/euro exchange rate does not help you friends of the other side of the ocean.
The Apollo Gumpert and the Tramontana are using it as a unique solution.
Believe that the synchronisation of a drum driven shifting mechanism is not easy at all. But I reached the target with some patented solutions.
For more, just come to my E-mail.

Wanni
