QKE8J is a 5-speed sequential gearkit designed specifically for the Honda Civic Type R (EP3 and FN2 versions) as well as the DC5 Integra. This high-performance gearkit serves as a direct replacement for the standard six-speed H-pattern Honda transmission, making it an ideal choice for circuit racing, drag racing, and rally applications.
The QKE8J features a meticulously engineered Quaife outer gearbox case that integrates an additional support bearing between 4th and 5th gear. This innovative design, coupled with a compact drum-style sequential gearchange mechanism and an open face dog configuration, enables lightning-fast and precise sequential gear shifts.
To ensure seamless integration, the QKE8J utilizes the original EP3/FN2/DC5 bellhousing half of the transmission casing, allowing for the retention of essential components such as the Honda clutch, differential, driveshafts, and mounting points. The gearkit boasts five wider gears housed within a strengthened outer casing, reducing transmission losses and providing the option of rally, race, or drag race gearing. Additionally, a helical gear set is available for road and track day applications, offering enhanced versatility.
Key technical features of the QKE8J five-speed Honda EP3/FN2/DC5 sequential gearkit include:
- Strengthened outer casing and five wider gears
- Ultra fast sequential gearshift with straight cut or helical close-ratio gears
- Retains stock EP3/FN2/DC5 clutch, diff, driveshafts and mounts
- Optional LED digital gear position indicator available
