An optional heavy duty, 1″ x 23T input shaft for higher power applications is also available.Ĭlick below to find out more about the QKE38Z sequential gearkit. There is one set of gear ratios for 1st to 4th, with a choice of 3 different 5th gear ratios, and a choice of 7 different final drive ratios to suit different disciplines of motorsport. This enables easy installation of the QKE38Z sequential gearkit into numerous Ford models.

The QKE38Z features a replacement Quaife outer gearbox case, which houses five power loss minimising straight-cut, close-ratio gears and a compact, drumstyle sequential gearchangemechanism.Ĭareful design allows this kit to retain the original IB5 bellhousing half of the transmission casing, plus the stock Ford clutch, differential, driveshafts and mounting points. It is also perfectly driveable on the road too, as demonstrated in this video , so you can drive the car to a track, complete a track day, and then drive home again. The QKE38Z is one of the lesser well-known kits in our range and yet it is ideal for use in both rally and race applications, particularly when combined with the QDF7Z ATB differential.

Initially developed for the Mk6 Fiesta ST150, this 5-speed fully sequential conversion can also be fitted to the earlier model IB5 gearbox as found in the earlier Ford Fiesta, Focus, Puma and Ka Mk1.

Our sequential conversion kits mean that there is now a simple, cost effective solution to upgrade your road or track car to a sequential gearbox, without the hassle of cutting the chassis, fabricating mounts, or customising driveshafts. These conversion kits allow direct installation of a fully sequential gearbox into the original chassis of the car, using the existing mounts, clutch, differential, and driveshafts. To address this demand, we have developed a number of sequential gearkits designed to fit transverse engine layouts, commonly found in FWD vehicles, but also found in some mid-engine RWD vehicles as well.

Whilst both of these gearboxes are fantastic products in their own right providing the perfect solution for anyone building a race car from the gound up using a front engine RWD setup, where the chassis is designed around the gearbox and engine, we have always been aware of the demand for a product that can be installed into a standard road car without the need for extensive modification to the chassis and other areas of the driveline, especially within FWD configurations. Quaife are well known for our range of universal sequential gearboxes, particularly the incredibly popular QBE60G 6-speed sequential gearbox, which is a direct replacement for the Ford Type-9, and the extra heavy duty QBE69G gearbox, which has proved to be a massive success within the drifting world.
