Once again... this transmission is not a street transmission by any definition. Straight cut gears and dogs for gear engagement are brutal on the senses over time.
The 4 speed dog boxes are affordable. The 5 speeds which are yet again a step up with little compromise in gearing... are super $$$'s.

No business on the street? I certainly would not condone daily driving with one, but plenty of people drive dog boxes on the street occasionally just fine. It's not that big of a deal. If you don't like the noise, that's a different issue.
I love the sounds of my T101A (now owned by GForce). Once I get my car back together it will be driven on the street plenty.
