our car was on AT from factory -not the best choice for track use.
we already thought about swap on dct last winter, but choose to try, how long automatic transmission lasts on track

not so long, as we expected from it.
gearbox survived only one trackday (7-8 15min sessions) in this season - pics in 1 an 2 post from there.
and on the second track it shows us fault.

so, dct time

we had bought some swap kit from 335 - gearbox, flywheel, propeller shaft and differential.

shifter was bought new, cause it's really hard to found it used in russia.


dct gearbox


propellershaft (already shortened and balanced)



and shifter


another problem - that we had bought wrong flywheel in this swap kit - our crankshaft had 6 bolt mounting pattern, and flywheel from 335 was with 8 bolt mounting.

price for new flywheel not so nice, so i prefered to make some custom lightened flywheel.

also cnc machined, from aircraft aluminum. starter ring used from old one, same about connection ring, where dct shaft's teeth located.


on engine

weight - 4.8kg.

so, all fits fine, then wiring and coding was done.


to be continued
