Dodson Motorsport Straight Cut GR6 Transmission Gears

There are two main types of gears used in automotive gearboxes.  Straight cut, and Helical cut gears.  Helical cut gears are most prevalent, as they are much quieter to run than straight cut gears. The factory Nissan GT-R GR6 transmission uses helical cut gears. Dodson Motorsport have released a picture of a straight cut gearset they are testing for the Nissan GT-R.
