Why R8 & Lamborghini DCT Gearboxes Fail! | How To Upgrade The V10 Transmission

Рет қаралды 40,020

Жыл бұрын

We work on a lot of broken R8 and Lamborghini V10 dual clutch transmissions, so we thought we'd explain how they can fail and what can be done to upgrade them to prevent future issues.
We took a DCT transmission from a Gen 2 R8 V10 Plus and carried out a full strip-down to show all of the component parts and what they do.
...............................................................................................................................................................
If you've enjoyed watching our videos, I'd like to ask you to consider sparing a small amount of money to help our supercar technician, Karl. He's a vital part of our small team and we want to do everything we can for him.

I truly love this channel, for the content, yes (on another level) but also Ricky's presentation style - amusing, honest, no ego and no BS!

I fully agree with that Ricky is getting to be a legend in his own lunchtime. Think he'd like that one lol

The fact that a customer is flying you out overseas to work on their vehicle speaks volumes; even if money is no object to that customer. You’ve done a fine job building the reputation you have. Kudos….well deserved. Its truly lovely to see the pride you take in mastering your craft. Cheers from America 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The last gearbox I stripped was a Vauxhall Chevette in the early 80’s! Things have changed somewhat! Amazing engineering and tech. Brilliant job 👏👏👏👏👏

@samrodian919 Жыл бұрын

My three only gearbox strips were one disaster and and two successes. First when I was 17 a four speed Ford Anglia109E which went to the scrapper lol, second a Borg Warner 65 I think it was out of my SD1 3.5 V8 Rover. That went back in with new clutch plates and bands, worked fine and thirdly a 2600 Land Rover 109 Four Speed new synchros and all new bearings and seals in both both main and Transfer boxes. That worked fine too.

If used on track as well I would be changing at least every year. The clutches run in it so degrades quickly.
