they are designed for racing if you think you will be driving it on the street for get it ! that would be total hell .
once your moving the clutch is not used at all just leave your foot in it and pull up into the next gear .
down gearing is a little deferent but the same thing very little rev matching is ever needed .
this past weekend i was working on the paddle shifters for the car .
hey requaire far less maintenance that your standered type of road trans .
just keep the oil changed in them .
they are loud because they have what are called straight cut gears in them . the gears in your street trans has the gears cut on a angle . but by doing so you can't shift with out using a clutch . this is becaus eyou need to releace the pressure from the gears for them to disingage and ingage into the next gear .
the are costly for many reasons . the 1st is they are hand built gear boxes . then your picking the gearing you want from 1st to 6th final drive too your having custom build you a gear box there is nothing off the shelf about them .

false
the helical gears of a standard transmission do not engage and disengage when the shifter is moved, or the clutch is used. the helical gears always remain in contact for all gears at all times. the shifter connects and disconnects the syncros, not the gears themselves.
and false that straight cut gears are required or necessary in a sequential transmission. depending on the type of sequential transmission, the straight cut parts are the dogs for the gear. again, this is what is actually being engaged when shifting, not the gears for power transfer.
