Quaife QBE69G 6-speed heavy duty in-line RWD sequential straight-cut gearbox
By utilising the very latest dog engagement tooth profiles for the QBE69G, It has resulted in a six speed sequential unit which allows ultra rapid gear changes and not only offers users a choice of gear lever locations, but also the option to upgrade to a state of the art closed loop, pneumatically operated semi automatic paddle shift system.
The result of this careful design work is a competitively priced new gearbox which is rated to power outputs of over 750bhp and features an integral oil pump to ensure adequate lubrication during long distance racing events. Quaife’s popular digital gear position indicator is also directly compatible with the new QBE69G, and is available as an optional extra.
In 2008 Quaife’s technicians identified a market opportunity for an upscaled version of Quaife Engineering's successful QBE60G inline six speed sequential gearbox, which would be designed to suit higher torque and power output motorsport requirements.
Incorporating the lessons learnt on the popular QBE60G unit, the new QBE69G utilises 90mm shaft centres and larger gears to maximise strength, with a well proven modular six speed gear cluster layout.
Initially the QBE69G gearbox will be offered with a bespoke Dodge Viper pattern bellhousing only, with ‘hybrid’ bellhousings being modified to other applications by Quaife to order. Various input shaft options are also available from Quaife on request to suit the customers requirements, see technical specifications.
