Feeler only - True Sequential gearbox option in Low $20K range
#1

I am wondering if there is anyone with a GT2/GT3 here that would consider changing out their gearbox to a sequential unit?
I realize that a sequential is not something that is really ideal for the street, however, I thought that for the track junkies this might be an interesting option.
Cost would be in the Low $20K range, would include a new flywheel, triple plate clutch, LSD, and associated parts. Here is the real draw back, this option also requires consistent maintenance / rebuilding every 30 hours of use, just like the Porsche sequential does.
Please share your thoughts on this as I am simply trying to determine if this is something that would be well received or not.
Thanks for your comments, and as always happy to help,

other than the really dedicated racers, I wouldn't think there would be much demand... but what do I know?

At current prices of 6GT3s, paying 40% of that for a sequential gearbox doesn't seem the least bit sensible. I was tinkering a bit with installing a Cartronic SQS, but at $7K+ even that's a stretch, IMO.

CFJAN - I am in complete agreement with you on that one. However, it is the same as the Porsche interval, and the parts for rebuild are a bit less expensive. Still 30 hours of use, seems short to me.
Thanks for posting.

Yeah, I know it is similar to the Cup car sequential box service interval, but just saying that for people who's willing to go to that extend, they are probably ones who are using the cars 100% on the track. Most folks here probably still use the GT3 on the street, and that kind of service interval is just not reasonable.. !
