What does "dog" mean in "dog engagement gearbox" and "dog clutch"?
Sites that offer racing gearboxes use these terms as if they are household words with no explanation offered. What are some advantages/disadvantages of a dog engagement gearbox?
How much the Different between Dog engagment and Synchronizer engagment?

Erm , does dog box means you can shift the gear without the needs of stepping the clutch ?

And dog box saves minimize the time by having not to press the clutch

of course. change gear without shifting. only first gear need clutching, BUT how the system works due to design of the engagement? i blank just for simple dogboxer without sequencial. i think it is more complicated in ultimate dogbox + sequencial shifter......:confused:

dog box. if you noticed the gears are all straight. our normal gears are slunt for smooth shiftings. they are straight like our reverse gear. hence the crunch and the wee wee sound like you reverse your car

Bump: dog box. if you noticed the gears are all straight. our normal gears are slunt for smooth shiftings. they are straight like our reverse gear. hence the crunch and the wee wee sound like you reverse your car

dog boxes contain custom straight cut gears which are cast differently and much stronger than factory gearboxes .. ppg in australia make good dog boxes .. they are commonly on race cars .. not easy to use like a factory g/box .. they wirr and crunch !!:)

the gears being cut streight has nothing to do with dog engagement, if you look closely, synchro has a 1 to 1 lock up, meaning needs to be precise to lock up. dog engagement on the other hand does not. their teeth are like so far apart which makes it easier to lock up with a positive thrust/push.
don't mix up straight cut gears with dog engagement. they are different.

straight cut gears are stronger and can withstand higher torque n power from the engine... and it is louder compare to helical cut gears...

advantage of helical cut gears is dat they have quiet operation....

i not sure how dogbox locking mechanism works though... any sifoo willing to share some thoughts??..

dog boxer dont use synchromesh as engagement. but it use simple bigger dog teeth for engagement. dogbox can come in spur gear (staright cut) assemble or helical cut gear. but of coz staright cut gear are much stronger than helical. millennium motorsports one of the dealer of the best dogboxs from ppg australia (ptizner performance gearbox). u can choose to buy or order customize dogbox for any car..
for any evo, skyline, s15 n some sports car they jave ready made that cost around 18k - 25k. u can also order the ultimate dogbox that come with sequential.

Oil Catch Can Help needed

I have no idea whether my oil catch can is properly connected as it has 3 inlet/outlet. Please refer to the pic. Can someone correct me if this is connected wrongly and where it should be connected to? Please assume that I do not know where the PCV valve is... Thanks!
