Before you go any further..

Are you aware for the reasons why its called a Dog box?

The way it shifts from one gear to the next is rather different to a synchromesh box. Essentially you are "Flat shifting" without the use of a clutch between shifts.

I remember the days when Ramon had ordered the dog box and decided to Flat shift the std 5 speed. I think it lasted a week or two.

Here's an image of a dogchange set


And heres an image of a standard syncro gear


A sequential shifter would mash those synchros in an instant
