Helical and synchro engagement.

Can I ask why everyone wants straight cut? Besides that they sound awesome?

Straight cut gears are stronger. That's my reasoning. I plan to do 800+ soon.

Thats actually not true, its just what people believe. Helical gears are actually stronger.

Helical have more mesh area which actually make them strong. The other thing that people believe is that they are more efficient with drive train loss. They are actually but the difference is very little. The only thing the straight cut has significantly over helical is the load that helical puts on the axels and trans case, but for someone like me that will stay around the 5-600hp range ill be buying the gear x helicals.

helical gears have thinner tines but more of them are engaged. The upside is that when they are engaged they are stronger.

with straight cut gears, you have much thicker tines but less of them are engaged. This is better for dogbox style transmissions. And that sound :drool:

I figured straights were only used in a dog box engaged trans
