  • Is it possible to move gears around in the box to get a different shift pattern? Just curiousity.

    • Doubt it, most gearsets have different splines on each gear
      I have seen people do 1st for 5th position swap on RX7 boxes to make a close ratio (using reground gears) H pattern with a 1:1 "5th" (in the 4th position) With most boxes the OEM 5th is a weaker gear, but you are through it in a circuit car and rarely use it except for starts and maybe one corner
      That way the direct ratio (with the lowest losses) is used for high speed - strictly race car though

      Contrary to popular opinion, I do have mechanical sympathy, I always feel sorry for the cars I drive.
