Samsonas Motorsport (SM) is a company that has existed for more than three decades. In the 1990s, with more than 20 years of racing experience under its belt, SM started a new activity – manufacturing and developing a racing transmission and its components.

In 1997 Samsonas Motorsport developed its first dog engagement gearbox for autocross cars. In the last 10 years these gearboxes have secured many autocross championships, not just in Lithuania but across the Baltic States.

In 2003 SM started supplying gearbox kits for Group N and Group A rally cars. A few years ago the company made huge investments into new CNC machinery, heat treatment, laboratories and engineering. Today it has 16 highly qualified specialists. The product range comprises more than 20 different gear kits, and the main product is a dog engagement gear kit for Group N.

The most successful SM products are gear kits for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 7/8/9, and for the Subaru Impreza STi. These gear kits are extremely reliable, while precise gear shifts are another of the company’s advantages. All SM gear kits are tested and checked before going to market.

The company’s main objective has always been – and will remain – to manufacture products of the highest quality and reliability. For this reason SM has introduced quality control together with a laboratory, where the staff are highly experienced in material science.

Materials are here tested before entering manufacture, and gears are tested again before being sold to the customer.

The results of drivers who have chosen SM’s gear kits speak for themselves: champions in Ukraine 2006, 2007, 2008; champions in Lithuania 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008; second in Latvia and third in Russia 2007, plus first in the Russia rally cup; and many more podium places besides. SM’s customers are situated all over Europe. The firm has won the trust and recognition of competitors from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Russia, Ukraine, Spain, Italy, Greece, Malta and other countries.
