Sequential Transmission Overview | Jay's Tech Tips

In this Tech Tip. Jay goes over some details of Sequential Transmissions.
Most of us are familiar with standard automatic or manual transmissions. With most automatics, you simply put the car into drive, and the transmission does the rest for you. Traditional manuals require you to move through the gears in an “H” pattern, starting with first gear at the top left and usually ending with either reverse or sixth gear on the bottom right.

However, there is another form of manual transmission known as a sequential gearbox. It is similar to a manual transmission in that you still need to move through the gears yourself, but rather than choosing a gear from the H layout, you simply hit a lever up or down to move through the gears.

As a retired tech that has rebuilt too many VW trans from MK1’s and up to MK’7 I would love to see the inside of that trans.

Jay is the best automotive technician ever knows his stuff very well

I'm in class right now, listening to teacher Jay.

Another great video guys. Always learn a great deal from you. Appreciate it Jay!

[mervynmontague]

Fascinating.
Interesting and informative 💎

[TurbineResearch]

Thanks for the knowledge share. I always look forward to your videos

[byloyuripka]

ive always been into bikes as even as a child saw they were how you go fast, slowly coming to cars... but 10-15k to put a sequential in a car! damm 😅 as always thank you for your time jay, you are the man! 🤟

edit: 10 to 20k?! 😢

Sequential was like bolting on 100hp in my car.

[ItsPainnz]

a140e automatics are top tier for just 4 gears they can handle tons of power and abuse with the right setup!

[joserotary]

Always with the good info thank you Jay 💯👍👍👍

[graydonjones]

If you can't feel the transmission shift hard then the clutches are slipping and causing heat and there is to much plastic in the new transmission's that fail prematurely on purpose a transmission that shifts hard will last longer than a factory slipper

[DJ_Driven]

Would love to see you do a series on a sequential in an EVO or STi

[BEBOPPINandSCATTIN]

Music kicks in, immediately think of big booty quake.
Thanks internet🤦🏻‍♂️.

Jay can you explain how a Lincoln works?

[snoopdaclown]

Boosted boiz run the quife setup but in a stock case. I know they just got a billet h22 trans, but I know they keep messing up the k trans but there pushing over 1100 hp. Would love to see them get this in there mr2...

[weduhpeople]

Jay can the 1st and 2nd gears on the sequential transmissions be custom made to have shorter ratios?

[magic]

Sequential well work or modify, eL60e transmission?

[amandalabate]

I wanna run a sequential in my awd k24 prelude but prices are all over the place where is the best place to get one?

[zenonzkition]

So, to clarify - Let's say that we are in 3rd gear accelerating, preparing to shift up to 4th but instead we shift to 2nd than if we have sequential gearbox equipped only with 100% mechanical gear shift mechanism (lever mechanically linked to ratchet mech. which turns selector drum) than we are unable to prevent shifting down? Gear change will occur? I know - dumb question but I want to be 100% sure :). Thanks for reply.

Thank you ! I have a Honda stream AWD w/ sequential shifter and k20a . What’s available for turbo tuning ??
I’d have to keep my ecu according to your video. Is my ecu a/t or m/t. Can it be tuned as m/t ecu with Kpro or other?
