This turn-key solution caters to the demands of boosted street builds as well as occasional drag racing and road racing, providing exceptional strength and drivability without compromise. Featuring performance upgrades such as the Dodson 9/9 Plate Clutch Pack which allow for substantially increased torque holding capability while still keeping the car driving and sounding like stock, and Dodson Billet A & B Clutch Baskets that eliminate common failure points, the Stage 2 build ensures your transmission can handle the added stresses of forced induction. Combined with AMS’ proprietary modifications which aid in reliability and add strength to failure prone oiling system components, titanium and billet aluminum preventative maintenance upgrades, and a rigorous inspection and assembly processes, the Stage 2 package guarantees long-term durability with OEM-like refinement. Backed by AMS Gearworks technicians and available with comprehensive door-to-door logistics, the Stage 2 transmission build offers an unmatched service experience for R8 and Huracan enthusiasts seeking to push their vehicles to the next level.
The AMS Gearworks Difference
Finding expert technicians to handle the intricate process of building a 7-speed DL800 Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) is no small task, which is why AMS has createdAMS Gearworks, a division dedicated exclusively to advanced transmission services. Combining decades of high-performance automotive expertise with a track record of breaking world records and winning motorsport championships, AMS Gearworks sets a new standard in drivetrain excellence. Offering gearbox building services alongside its award-winning ALPHA performance packages, AMS ensures every transmission is handled with precision and care, all within a single, state-of-the-art facility. From sophisticated OEM Audi/Lamborghini ODIS diagnostic software, to ultrasonic cleaning hardware, the AMS Gearworks team has the tools and the talent needed to get the job done. With unparalleled expertise, comprehensive logistics, and a commitment to quality, AMS Gearworks delivers the ultimate transmission servicing experience for the DL800 platform.
The Dodson Sportsman 9/9 Plate Clutch Pack and Dodson A & B Clutch Baskets
Dodson developed this 20 steel plate and 18 friction plate clutch pack for high horsepower street R8 and Huracan DL800 applications with occasional drag racing and road race usage. Running 9 friction plates on both the odd and even clutch packs, a significant increase over the factory plate count, the Dodson 9/9 delivers a major jump in holding capacity over the stock clutch pack. Dodson’s specially designed wave spring technology aids plate separation between shifts, so all that added capacity comes with OE-like drivability, smooth engagement, and quiet operation.
Additionally, the Gearworks Stage 2 transmission utilizes upgraded billet baskets from Dodson for improved strength and reliability. The OEM baskets are notorious for breaking at the spline section and coming apart at higher power levels. The Dodson billet A and B baskets replace both factory baskets with extra strong billet aluminum pieces, resulting in exceptional strength and removing a common failure point on the DL800.
Titanium and Billet Aluminum Upgrades for Future Servicing
The AMS Gearworks Stage 2 DL800 Transmission is fortified with key components that prioritize preventative maintenance, ensuring long-term reliability and performance. The Dodson Billet Trans Pan enhances oil flow and reduces aeration while improving heat dissipation, helping to maintain optimal transmission temperatures and preventing overheating in high-stress conditions. The AMS Performance Titanium Bolt Kit mitigates the risk of oil leaks by replacing the stretch-prone OEM hardware with reusable aerospace-grade titanium and chromoly steel bolts, providing a secure seal that withstands repeated servicing. Additionally, the AMS Billet Filter Housing eliminates the vulnerability of the OEM plastic design, with its durable 6061 aluminum construction and leak-resistant Viton O-ring seal. This design also allows for transmission fluid filter changes, whereas the OEM pan and filter is entirely non-serviceable. Together, these upgrades proactively address common wear points, minimizing the likelihood of costly repairs and keeping your transmission running smoothly.
