No good in a daily car, or even a weekender. They're WAY loud, and can often completely dominate the engine note. Depending on the exact gears, you either get an irritating ringing sound, or a loud whine that often sounds like you're driving a executive jet or something. Honda used them in some street motorcycles, but they developed a clever "scissor" arrangment of two gears side-by-side, sprung loaded to take up the lash between teeth. This quiets them down some w/o the side-loading cause by helical gears. |
