AMS Performance R8/Huracan Gearworks Stage 1 Transmission Upgrade

The AMS Gearworks Stage 1 DL800 Transmission is the ultimate OEM+ refresh for Audi R8 and Lamborghini Huracan owners seeking reliability and performance in naturally aspirated applications. Designed to provide peace of mind when pushing your supercar to its limits, this upgrade begins with a meticulous teardown process, where AMS technicians inspect, clean, and measure every component of the transmission. Any worn or damaged parts are repaired or replaced before reassembly to exacting AMS standards, incorporating titanium hardware and billet aluminum maintenance components. The Stage 1 build ensures stock-like drivability with no added noise, vibration, or harshness, while offering a more cost-effective and faster turnaround than competitors. Complete with a comprehensive door-to-door service, the Gearworks program simplifies the upgrade process, leaving owners free to enjoy their high-performance vehicles with confidence. The key to the Stage 1’s longevity are its preventative maintenance-focused upgrades, including the Dodson Billet Trans Pan for improved cooling and oil flow, the AMS Titanium Bolt Kit for leak prevention and hardware reusability, and the AMS Billet Filter Housing, which replaces the fragile OEM plastic with durable, serviceable aluminum. These enhancements proactively address common wear points, reducing the risk of costly repairs and ensuring the transmission remains in peak condition for years to come.

Titanium and Billet Aluminum Upgrades for Future Servicing

The AMS Gearworks Stage 1 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.
