In order to maximise acceleration and optimise top speed, rally, race and rallycross applications require lower gearing than any car manufacturer supplies as an original equipment fitment. This is why Quaife Engineering has developed a number of gearkit choices designed to suit a variety of motorsport disciplines, free from the compromises of road use.

Quaife close-ratio, synchromesh gearkits with helical or straight cut gears

• A choice of helical cut gears for low noise levels or straight cut gears to minimize transmission power losses
• Close gear ratios to maximise engine performance – ideal for highly tuned motors with narrow power bands
• Taller first gear ratio for race and rally applications
• Wider gears to improve reliability
• Synchromesh engagement for smooth selection
• Compatible with either original or Quaife lower ratio final drive to optimise overall gearing for motorsport use

Quaife close ratio, straight cut, dog engagement gearkits

• Dog tooth gear engagement for ultra rapid gearshifts and reliability
• Straight cut gears to minimize transmission power losses
• Close gear ratios to maximise engine performance – ideal for highly tuned motors with narrow power bands
• Taller first gear ratio for race and rally applications
• Wider gears to improve reliability
• Many applications feature bespoke Quaife selector forks for added durability
• Choice of Quaife lower final drives top optimise overall gearing for motorsport use
• Some Quaife gearkits upgrade from 5 to 6 speeds
