CHECK IT OUT!!! (Sequential Shifter)

what you bought isnt a dogbox. its merely a different way to shift the gears in a front to back pattern vs h pattern. you will need to use the clutch just like always or it will tear the syncros in short order

This isn't a true sequential system. It just mimics the action without the advantages of speeding up the process.

yea but the obvious advantage of this system that no one is failing to mention is it takes away the possibility of money shifting your car. I don’t see how this could really cause much damage to the transmission when all it’s doing is making sure you’re going from 1>2>3>4>5>6 and 6>5>4>3>2>1 instead of going full throttle and going from 4>3 instead of 4>5

Sorry to revive the really old thread
does anyone have one of these SQS "sequential shifter installed in either a street car or track car? what was the longevity of the system and what were the negatives during ownership ( if any)?
did anyone notice wear to the syncros or other transmission wear?
once installed was there ever any maintenance? what about water and the electrical/ mechanical elements on the system?
any info in appreciated.
also can the system be used with an Electrical auto blip system or does it have to be used with a mechanical one?
Thanks

The only true way to prevent the money shift is with a PDK or a Tip.

Carlo how many sequential shift systems have you worked with?
I also know that this system is not a sequential gearbox, curious as to what part of this system needs maintenance and what other systems you have worked with , I did not know that there were other sequential shifters for P cars other than this one.?
Thanks

I am not sure you read my question correctly, I know that if you were to shift any manual system without the clutch it would damage the syncros, but I was curious as to why I have seen a few posts about SQS sequential shifters being hard on syncros? unless shifted without the clutch what is causing the damage?

For example if you are cruising along a highway that has traffic lights you may be in fourth when a light ahead goes red. Most drivers in that instance will maybe down shift once and then pull the car out of gear and coast/brake to a stop. Then put the car in first and take off with a green light. With this system you have downshift through every gear to get to first. That puts a heavier work load on the synchros, even when using the clutch. The clutch does not insulate the synchro from the work it has to do. Which is exactly what the fellow wrote in post #5
