Hi all!

In the latest issue of race engine Technology, there should be an article about the transmission on the C12 and how it provided a switch in technology.

Has anybody more info about this?

Regards, Matt

Transmission of C13 ..i think it is almost the same ..
Sauber was introducing a longitudinal inboard Gearbox with aluminiumgearcasein one piece back then .

Marcush, for some reason I don't see pictures in both of your posts.
What's more, I was able to view pics from your posts above by copying link and opening in separate window, but doing so with image link from your last post showed a heavily tattoo'd lady.

[marcush.]

oops...!
I tried it as you said and for me its showing the sauber ..without tatoos!
The picture shows on my screen absolutelynormal.. hmm

If someone has the desire to get not a tatooed lady but a pic of the Saubers rearend please pm and give me an email connection.

Maybe you could try Imageshack or smth?

puzzling thing is i can see the pics....

But what was so special about this.
And as far as I know Sauber had a transverse gearbox

[marcush.]

on the pic -which you can´t see- it is very clear that this is a longitudinal box ,very clean outer shape no access doors just nice flat aero surfaces ..acess solely from diff cover and input sghaft cover.
Did any team have inpoard longitudinal boxes at that time? I think back then everyone had transversial inboard trans.

[matt21]

I think Williams and McLaren had also longitudinally mounted gearboxes

Marcush, download the picture onto your computer, then upload it onto tinypic.com and copy that link, it will work for everyone then not just you.

now ok? you can clearly see the suspension layout ,ARB thru diffhousing ,gearbox housing anchorpoints..oiltank etc.. only the sachs dampers are not mounted ..they have the setup bars /dummy shocks on this pic.
