Specialist British automotive performance transmission manufacturer RT Quaife Engineering Ltd today announces a significant addition to its product range, with the launch of a new heavy duty six speed sequential gearbox designed for endurance racing applications.
In 2008 Quaife’s technicians identified a market opportunity for an upscaled version of the firm’s successful QBE60G inline six speed sequential gearbox, which would be designed to suit higher torque and power output motorsport requirements.
The result of this careful design work is a competitively priced new unit – designated QBE69G – which is rated to power outputs of over 750bhp and features an integral oil pump to ensure adequate lubrication during long distance racing events.
Incorporating the lessons learnt on the popular 60G unit, the new 69G utilises 90mm shaft centres and larger gears to maximise strength, with a well proven modular six speed gear cluster layout.
Quaife’s new QBE69G gearbox offers three choices of gear ratios:

1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th
2.435 1.858 1.494 1.268 1.116 1.000
2.759 2.050 1.494 1.268 1.116 0.870
2.653 1.745 1.306 1.000 0.850 0.762

Use of the very latest dog engagement tooth profiles in the 69G has resulted in a six speed sequential unit which allows ultra rapid gear changes and not only offers users a choice of gear lever locations, but also the option to upgrade to a state of the art closed loop, pneumatically operated semi automatic paddle shift system.

Quaife’s popular digital gear position indicator is also directly compatible with the new 69G and is available as an optional extra ex-stock.

Initially the 69G gearbox will be offered with a bespoke Dodge Viper pattern bellhousing only, with ‘hybrid’ bellhousings being modified to other applications by Quaife to order. Various input shaft options are also available from Quaife on request to suit customer requirements.

Forward orders are now being taken for the Quaife QBE69G unit, which is competitively priced at £6595.00 excluding VAT.

I've been watching this tranny for sometime now and thought I'd share with the Z34 owners what I received today from Quaife;
