Samsonas dog transmission just in!

[ChuckBilodeau]

Boost drop between shifts has been an issue since we switched to the manual trans. This H-pattern dog engagement box should help loosing less time on the straights. Took 7 months to receive the essential Quicktime bellhousing as it was BO and always pushed back. But we finally have everything. This should be be the world’s first ecoboost Mustang with that setup. Can’t wait for 2023, it will be a busy winter. I'll keep you guys posted.

Plans:
- Install trans
- Move engine back 2-3 inches, make custom engine mounts and driveshaft (needed anyway)
- re-do Exhaust, coolant lines, etc
- Make a shroud behind the rad to get the air out thru the hood
- Move intake to the passenger side area, right in front of the turbo inlet
- more...

Not even sure, but I wanna say about $12-13k with shipping, the bellhousing, the shifter, excluding the clutch.

1,400 nm, should be enough!

Yeah pretty unusual. With the trans and the new carbon doors, car should be below 3,100 lbs dry.
