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 created AMS 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 Promax 9/9 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 9/9 friction disks and steels, striking a perfect balance between torque holding, NVH, drivability, and cost. 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 Second Gear Upgrade

One of the more common failures seen when making over 1000 HP is the OEM second gear stripping teeth due to the high level of torque the engine is putting out. Because it is not caused by a driveline shock, like many other driveline failures are caused by, this can happen even to R8s and Huracans that never see the drag strip. Dodson has provided a solution with a second gear-only upgrade unit that matches your existing gearbox’s ratios. This upgrade helps make the Gearworks Stage 4 transmission one of the most robust gearboxes available.

 

Titanium and Billet Aluminum Upgrades for Future Servicing

The AMS Gearworks Stage 4 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.

 

Transportation & Logistics

As part of our AMS Gearworks DL800 build program, we offer a range of transport logistics options to make the upgrade process as seamless as possible. For customers who prefer to handle the gearbox removal themselves, we provide convenient shipping solutions to ensure safe and efficient delivery of your gearbox to our facility, where our expert technicians can begin the custom build. However, if you’d rather leave the entire process to us, we can arrange for full vehicle transport, providing a true door-to-door service. This option allows our team to take full responsibility for every aspect of the upgrade, from safely transporting your vehicle to our facility, to meticulously handling the gearbox removal, build, and reinstallation, and finally delivering your fully upgraded vehicle back to you. With either option, AMS Gearworks prioritizes security, efficiency, and convenience, giving you complete peace of mind and allowing you to focus on enjoying your V10 supercar.
