Well i dont know if u can buy them just a member of the public (is this for a road car or a rally/race car?) but X-Trac (Spelling?), Hewland and a few others make them (Prodrive possibly???)

If you're talking about a sequential box then Quaife amongst others supply them (www.quaife.co.uk)but they are not cheap. Gearboxes for WRC cars cost £ 5 figure sums (ie; over £10k). As gtr asks; is it for road or competition?, as they won't just go into a road car as a replacement box.

Think it might still be optimistic, both in terms of cost and complexity, but let us know how it turns out.

I dont think that there is a sequential lox for a Saxo VTR (the S1600 cars are dog box arent they?). If there is you would be better off buying a Mitsubishi Evo 7 RSII Extreme for a similar amount of money as it would cost you to buy one as a privateer. It would cream a saxo off the line no matter what gear box it has.
If, as i think there is no suitable sequential box then you will need to design and pay (i would recommend Quaife or Hewland as they know what they are doing) for someone to build a one off. Then htere is the control software that is needed to control the hydraulic actuators. Anyway, good luck with project... |

I want a Quaife ATB and sequential box for my Fiesta cos then noone would be able to catch me but since I got no cash i can't ever be world champion. Sob. I will go and put my nice warm jacket on before the nurses do.
