In the vid section there is a vid of a 7mgte with a custom r-154 tranny. They are calling it a custom dogbox. Does anybody have any info on this ?

lmao, why does something like that, not seem safe?

I have no idea why that wouldn't be safe... the gears are straight cut instead of helical. Nothing dangerous there...

There used to be a couple companies, in Australia that manufactured R154 gears. Both were 1-4 leaving the 5th helical for quiet cruising. Can't seem to find the companies though, IIRC one of them had something to do with wolf in the name...

Yeah, all a "dogbox" is compared to a "normal" transmission, is that is has straight cut gears.
It is stronger, but whines, like reverse. So unless you have a 10 second car, it is kinda useless.

Or a time attack/hill climb car. Anything where shifting fast is top priority.

Just be prepared to shell out $5k minimum.
