Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)

Found this also. Don't know if this will be of any help.

Loudandproud, what trans are you going with? I'm leaning towards the F80, F10 to keep the rear gearing the same with the double OD offered in 6th and 7th gear.

I think he has the 1:1 7th gear version.

Carl does, wondering what the other guy chose as the Domi Engineering comes in 2 styles.

I think the same. It's in his video.

I have an S65 Version with the 1:1 7th gear. Shooting for 2.86 rear gears. Should keep the driveshaft speeds nice and low.
The Domiworks kit i ordered is for the V8 version. I also ordered the 8 Bolt splined hub for LSA's as it will fit my L83 Gen V crank.

Two main ones I've heard used are https://www.dkgecu.com/cars/ and http://htg-tuning.com/.

I've seen the DKG one actually running.

Have you made a decision on which you wanna run? I've downloaded the HTG software and its pretty simple over all.
Nisse (from DKGEcu) seems like a pretty nice guy from the chatting back and forth with him.

Nope, jury is still out.

[andrewb70]

Is the DKG box available? Is software available to view? Is there a list of inputs that the box needs?

Ahhhh, I didn't realize this was the same guy building the 1500!!

In the link I provided above it has the pinout for the round factory plug that's on the DCT.

I'm very intrigued by this and think I'll attempt this in the future, but will continue with my T56 conversion for now.

I was liking the double OD version so I can keep my original rear gearing and be able to just swap the DCT and driveshaft.

Has anyone ordered the cooler line adapters or the tailshaft adapter with the 1350 yoke? If so, where from?

[andrewb70]

I'm almost certain that The Driveshaft Shop makes the needed Geibo adapter. The thing to keep in mind is that without a slip yoke, there will be issues with a solid axle car, because the driveshaft move in and out of the trans, although, not nearly as much as people think. If I did this on my Cougar, I would use the Geibo to CV adapters. My driveshaft already uses CV joints front and rear and the CVs have about 1" of travel, which I'm certain is enough.

This is what they recommended for my setup.

Do you think the CV will have enough travel to accommodate the the fire and aft movement as the rear end moves up and down? You probably modeled it...so how much movement is there? :-)

I sent them a follow up email to confirm, at full compression, to full droop, the max change is about .5" with a 24" lower 3 link bar and 19.5" upper bar.
My concern is more about link bar adjustment.

I'd prefer a slip yoke built in.

[DblTrbl]

Bummer. My adapter plate is stuck in customs with no apparent ship date.

There are driveshafts that are made for various applications that use a large aluminum splined slip shaft design. You should as The Driveshaft Shop if they can make on with that kind of design.

Driveshaft shop said they can account for about an inch of movement. Thats not a lot of wiggle room for error or link adjustments. I'd prefer what you have shown here

Has anyone found a paddle shifter setup? Can the one from Twist Machine or TCI be adapted to control the DCT?

Am I getting too far ahead?

I would think so...the shift up and down signals are just ground inputs to the ECU on particular pins.

Lol ive been looking too. Im planning on making my own. Just going to use some carbon fiber sheet, 3d printed holders, metal detents, and contact switches. I just want a real short throw and a positive click.
