New RCR transaxle?
- Thread starter iflyfast1
- Start date
not for the forseeable future, it is an engineering exercise at the moment, as a "next step unit".....forward thinking...
Not sure this is the place to ask, but how "streetable" is a sequential transaxle for a 650hp/600ftlbs motor?
I take it that it isn't by the title "race" ?
And, does it include paddle shifters?:evil:

I don't have any experience using sequentials... but it apears to use the same clutch as conventionals and not a F1 or Ferrari setup... so it might be workable? Or I am just dreaming?
Delynn will be posting to give an update....and its all good.
You guys aren't far from me at all, neat!
Here is an update..
The Griffin gearbox has been through some major hurdles the last 6 months.
In the design of our transaxles we try to use off the shelf parts.
The street boxes use gears from Richmond Transmissions. If you have not followed the news in the transmission business, you may not be aware that Regal Beloit sold the Richmond Gear line to Motive Gear.
This has upset the time line and postponed the date we had hoped to get to market.
We have now overcome these obstacles.
The flow of parts to Motive Gear has been slow and sporadic.
Their parts bins are starting to fill, and the part numbers we use are slowly becoming available.
It is just a matter of time and all the parts we need will be on hand to build transaxles we all have been hoping for.
In the meantime, we will continue to develop, test and perfect the transaxles.

Great news !!
I'll be watching for updates. More development time and testing, can only be a good thing.

Hi Delynn,
We spoke on the phone a week or two back, I mentioned I was wondering about approx. total size of the gearbox, and where the mounting points would be? I don't absolutely need a diagram, but dimensions within an inch or so would be a big help; just so I don't build my chassis, and then not have enough clearance for your trans.
Thanks!

This is the Basic Dimensions you will need...
Keep in mind that the 4 and 5 speed's and are shorter than this DWG.
The unit is 14" wide from flange to flange.

nice, can't wait to see one running in a car and hear some feed back...
The endplate looks like this is a quick change box but I take it that is NOT the case...?
