With unparalleled expertise, comprehensive logistics, and a commitment to quality, AMS Gearworks delivers the ultimate transmission servicing experience for the DL800 platform.

The Dodson Promax Multi-Plate Clutch Kit

Stepping up from a standard “street” clutch solution, the Dodson Promax clutch assembly is a complete unit with a full billet housing, making it nearly bombproof. At the heart of this clutch system are upgraded friction disks and steels, available as packs of 9/9, 10/10, or 12/12.  This comprehensive design also includes machined billet high-grade hardened baskets, and a high-grade billet steel lid and splines with a billet turned cover. If you’re looking for the best clutch upgrade available for the DL800 transmission in your high horsepower R8 or Huracan, look no further.

Dodson Billet Full 1-7 Billet Gear Set

If you’re making big horsepower on your R8 or Huracan, one of the best upgrades you can do is replacing the factory gears with a billet set. Dodson tasked their engineering team with developing a complete billet machined 1-7 gear set, including shafts. These full billet gears offer vastly increased strength over the factory gears to greatly reduce the chance of tooth failure. Additionally, the Stage 6 Transmission also incorporates a billet ring and pinion, billet drop gears, and billet output shafts from Dodson. A billet forward drop gear is also available to custom order for racers looking to compete in half mile events or other forms of high speed racing.

Included AMS & Dodson Billet Upgrades

Adding some much needed shiny aesthetics to your gearbox is a plus, but make no mistake – these pieces add some very usable features and additional strength to your transmission as well. The AMS Reinforced Differential Cover & Transmission Brace replaces the factory cover with a fully gusseted billet aluminum piece, and three integrated billet braces for additional reinforcement across the transmission case. This added stiffness helps strengthen the gearbox case to prevent flexing that can misalign the gears, shafts and other components inside. In addition to improving case rigidity, the Dodson Billet Sump Pan provides for a replaceable upgraded oil filter element, instead of the non-serviceable stock pan/filter. It has been designed to reduce aeration in the oil before entering the oil filter and increase heat dissipation, helping to keep your transmission running at cooler temperatures.

Putting the Power Down

One of the most severe use cases for a transmission will always be drag racing, and specifically the act of launching the car from a complete stop on a sticky track surface. This is why we add both the Wavetrac Rear Limited Slip Differential upgrade and Dodson Half Shafts to every Stage 6 build. The Dodson short and long half shafts are extra strong replacements of the factory shafts to better cope with the loads associated with high horsepower drag racing so you don’t have to worry if the stock shafts will leave you stranded at the track. In addition to these shafts, we add the Wavetrac LSD for exceptional traction during hard acceleration, as well as increased reliability over the OEM unit. Simply put, if you plan on doing any kind of racing with your R8 or Huracan, these are must-have additions.

Titanium and Billet Aluminum Upgrades for Future Servicing

The AMS Gearworks Stage 6 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.
