Ford IB5 Dog Engagement Gearkit QKE35Z

Quaife now offers two exciting transmission upgrades for users of the Ford IB5 gearbox fitted to the Ford Fiesta, Focus, Puma and Ka Mk1, which transforms the performance of these cars. In addition to the 5-speed sequential gearkit Quaife has developed a 5-speed ‘H-pattern,’ close-ratio dog engagement gearkit for the IB5 transmission, for customers requiring a non-sequential transmission option.

Carrying part number QKE35Z, the gearkit is designed for easy installation into the standard Ford IB5 gearbox casing without modifications. Technical highlights include close-ratio, straight-cut gears to minimise transmission power losses and enable drivers to keep the engine working in its power band at all times. An open face dog design allows ultra fast gearshifts and QKE35Z includes a set of Quaife designed uprated gear selectors that ensure durability from the shift mechanism.

The combination of close-ratios, straight-cut gears and rapid dog engagement selection makes the QKE35Z IB5 5-speed gearkit the perfect choice for Ford owners seeking an advanced, reliable motorsport transmission solution. Quaife offers a choice of seven different final drive options, covering all potential motorsport, trackday and fast road use requirements.

• Open face dog engagement for rapid gear changes

• Straight-cut, close-ratio gears

• Installs into stock IB5 gear casing

• Quaife selector forks included in kit
