2nd hand the only one I know of is a KAAZ It has straight cut 1st 2nd and 3rd is twin synchro on 2,3,4 can Flat shift this box to 500hp, after that you need to respect it, It has an LSD on the front which STD has
open has just been rebuilt (ie pull apart inspect and put the diff in [couple of bearings and synchros replaced and clearanced under 1st gear for competition use] The guy wants $6500 and considering they are rated by KAAZ to 500hp, which is as good as any Dog box on the market now and they are used in rally cars, are easy to drive and are $9000 new having only travelled 10,000K I have seen it and been in the car with it, sounds fantastic and is easy to drive unlike a full dog box, is proven and in the case I would be considering it myself!! Bottom line its a bloody good thing but you can buy a crap dogbox BPM for $4900 then machine the cases and have it fitted for a bag of trouble
(jamming in gear, broken gears (commonplace) for about $6k all up excluding your donor case. I have seen all the dog boxes around and if you want to spend $9000 for a box with a diff and another $700 for empty cases I would do that but who has a spare 10k aud?
