ZF S5D 5-speed Dogbox & Sequential Transmission  

GearMotive offers two proven gearbox solutions for racing purposes: the BMW ZF S5D H-pattern Dogbox gearset and the new ZF Sequential Dogbox. 

Both are based on strengthened ZF gearsets designed to handle extreme power and demanding motorsport conditions. 

They fit BMW and a wide range of other cars with adapter kits or bellhousing modifications. Gearboxes have been run up to 1200Nm in drift and drag racing use.
