Read about the Dog Box Transmission and how it differs from any OEM transmission. Get all the details here in this month's issue of Honda Tuning Magazine.

These transmissions are called dog boxes for a reason that's kind of silly. But they've been used in some of the best, and most expensive, cars ever built.

On the left is a five-speed EP3 transmission now equipped with the Pfitzner four-speed dog gearset, and on the right is a stock ’02–’04 RSX Type-S transmission.

Face-Plating, Pro-Shifting, or Dog Ring/Dog Box transmissions are similar methods of achieving the same goal. They're also known as a "Slick Shifting" transmissions.

Like its Chevy Camaro rival, this Nissan drift machine is also running a four-speed manual dog box transmission. Weight, however, favors the Camaro, with the Nissan tipping the scales at 3,080 pounds.
