@bassbone1785~ haha... u can get any combination u want. Straight cut with either syncro or dog engagement.... or helical cut with synchro or dog engagement.
-
they aint stronger. straight cut gears have less forces playing around with them so they allow for a lighter transmission casing. They are almost always used in sequential trannies.

It sounds like it's both turbo and super charged...

@Feuerwaffen Tiburon GT transmission is essentially straight out of the Nissan Sentra SE-R
-
@edratliff thats because Hyundai gearboxes suck.
-
@funkrider I used to think that ALL reverse gears were straight cut. But for some odd reason they are not in my 04' Tiburon GT.
-
@DeathJr2006 that is a highly debateable topic, they both are strong straight cut is strong due to thicker and harder gears yet helical gears are strong because more mesh togather at same time, it is all personal preferance

I liek it minus teh fart can.

So if one were to put straight cut gears in, would the transmission still be synchronized (i.e. doesn't need to be double clutched)?

ive got a GTIR gears 1-4 are straight cut and 5th is helical for hwy driving.. made 183awkw in 3rd gear on the dyno @ 13psi.. and straight cut is what made me fall in love with the car :) <3
The gear wine sound is caused by the straight cut gears. Reverse gears are almost always straight cut, hence the same sound.
