Very light and rigid Casing
|
|
Excellent life time and low maintenance
|
Casing from a billet of air craft quality aluminium combines minimum weight with superior mechanical, dimensional and thermal stability. |
|
High quality precision ground gears gives excellent life time of gearbox with minimum maintenance.

|
 |
Simple maintenance
|
|
Smooth gear change helps to drive faster
|
Layout allows for complete gear set to be removed in just a few minutes. |
|
The gear selection mechanism is consistent, reliable and very smooth. Thanks to the smooth gear change mechanism, wear on dog rings is exceptionally low. |

The Tractive Modular Concept
|
|
Easy adaptions to a wide range of cars
|
The modular concept of the Tractive sequential gearboxes is successfully being used since 1995.
It makes is possible to offer premium quality gearboxes with top class performance and functionality to a competitive price.
|
|
The Tractive Modular Concept allows for very easy adaptation of the RD90 gearbox to a wide range of Rear Wheel Drive cars, from MKII Escorts with some 220 Nm to powerful V8’s with 900 Nm of torque.
Adapt the RD90 to virtually any engine/car combination without need for new patterns or extensive redesign.

Andreas Boström, Rally Cross Champion:
“I've driven with a Tractive RD906 gearbox and the Tractive differential fo rmany years and in over 11.000 km I've only replaced two gears and quite a lot of oil, that's it! Not even a dogring. The car is a BMW E46 with S54 motor, 3,3L and 433hp.
I am super satisfied with the low running costs and the reliability of the transmission!”

Wide range of speeds available.
The RD90 gearboxes have a drop gear arrangement to compensate for various rear axle ratios, or to fine tune the top speed and acceleration characteristics. Two gears situated behind a cover at the rear of the gearbox are easily replaced to alter the overall ratio of the gearbox.
