Why R8 & Lamborghini DCT Gearboxes Fail! | How To Upgrade The V10 Transmission
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лют 2023
- 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 👏👏👏👏👏
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.
Wow. Utmost respect for knowing how to deal with that gearbox.
Amazing piece of engineering.
One of your best videos (they're all incredible honestly). You guys are getting really good at this- the camera work is on point and your delivery, technical explanations, mixed with dry humor keeps one completely engaged every episode.
Thank you so much. Glad you are enjoying them.
Just found this channel, I love it. It’s mad how such a young guy is so knowledgeable and professional. 👏🏾

You could start a sideline of repairing high end watches and clocks
Masterpiece Presentation
I’ve had hell trying to find details about these transmissions absolutely love the video and if you’ve got any tips on where to find technical info ie bolt patters external dimensions ect would greatly appreciate it
Just quickly 😂 - loving the recent videos of all the teardowns and rebuilds. Keep up the great content gents 👍🏻
Great video I have a porsche 991 gen 1 NA and let the porsche workshop do everything as I don’t have the skills. I was literally sh!tting myself watching you take this apart … bravo fella ! Keep up the good work and content... !
Top Video as Always Guys 👍😎
Glad you enjoyed it
This would be a great podcast . .
Hold that thought!! 😉
Just seeing all those bits gave me a headache! cant imagine rebuilding it after! Great video as always, thanks.1 P.S. Messaged Karl and he cant wait to come back and get the air wrench going as you start filming. LOL.
Love it 👍
Oh and immensely knowledgeable😀
Hi Great video thank you. You mentioned the upgrades were a lot cheaper than replacing a box. How much does it cost for the upgrades?
I am in Australia is there an Audi expert here that you could recommend?
Complimentoni, maestri !
Get well soon.
Love your content.
Wish I lived closer would offer some time free. Love building engines etc.
Thank you very much!
Something my grands always said is that "prevention, is better than cure"
absolutely great content. Just a suggestion, cam guy needs to use more light! we need to see all the bits!
Thank you, yeah we are using lights it’s just hard to move them all for every angle!
AMAZING
Thank you!
Quality.
If you need to floors cleaned i'm up for it 😁😁
Another Awesome Vid Mate. Love Watching These. Is the clutch pack on a DCT shimmed the same as the one in a DSG?
Christ!!..done some gearboxes in my time but this twists my noodle!
Any point in fabbing ally tubes to replace the plastic ones to failsafe later life?
Yeah we have some upgraded ones to help with the pressure!! 😉
Do you jet wash, or similar before stripping these?
Didn’t realise I had anxiety until I watched this 😂😂😂
Hello can I email you about some questions about my 2014 Audi R8 V10 plus transmission issues I'm having? I need some help please.
R8 v10 stage 5 dotsun gearbox not building pressure, what to do
Hi my car is audi r8 2014 with transmission code NXZ can i buy a new transmission model year 2016 or 2017 and replaced the megatronic and then instal it to my car ?
Great video but you need a light on the camera.
14:40. a sheet metal guy can make you a drain pan that fits "with" that stand, so you don't spill 1 drop of fluid. and it wouldn't cost much.
Right ! that looked easy enough lol
Hahahahaha
cool
Thanks
25:13 currently stuck on the rear casing right now 😂
how the hell do you remember how it all fits back together
I've been to that party 😂😂
Every other V10 plus doesnt lunch well at all. They slip and traction kicks in and shuts off the power and it only picks up from second gear
Would a gearbox oil flush not work to clean the mechtronics sensors?
no they are magnetic
If used hard how often should oil be changed will that stop that swarf build up.
If used on track as well I would be changing at least every year. The clutches run in it so degrades quickly.
Is Ricky's floor cleaning services available for hire?
20:59 if you want to know why
Looking at buying a gen 2 but what are you referring too when you say check that the engine hasn’t been clocked?
He means check the mileage of the car itself hasn’t been altered(i.e. reduced)
@@Thou1 Thanks mate.
any reason you are running snapon electric tools ? we just purchased a bunch of Milwaukie stuff for in our shop and so far i'm impressed
Always used Snap On, I’m well looked after by my local guy Jason Stevens mate!
I assume there will be a part 2 where you tell what the upgrades are...
I did take about what the upgrades are, Dodson 11 plate clutch, 2nd gear and circlip. 👍🏼
Did you watch the video?
5:00 is this for both rwd and awd?
Yeah park lock is the same!
Ace
Thank you!
Wouldn’t like to attempt to put that back together.
Me neither! 😂😂
Are u a man or a mouse brother?😮🤯🤯👁🤔🤔🤨🤔
@@craigmorgan4676 what??
You mean you put the stuff back together again!!!!!
No, only take apart!! 😂
Any jobs going
Yes! Lol
Just when poor Karl couldn't get any worse he has to go to Swindon....poor guy.
You’ve obviously encountered the magic roundabout in it.
Gearbox replacement is USD 35k, ouch
And where Answer on - "How To Upgrade The V10 Transmission". My english not perfect, but I didnt hear an answer after watching this video)
We spoke about the Dodson components and what we are changing in the build! 👍🏼
German innit...
lol it’s actually Italian! Graziano gearbox.
Let's be real - you can't put 1000hp to the ground on the street, no matter what car it is in!
Completely agree mate!! But it’s always nice to have lol
"Electric car".... electric cars are nice if you like that kind of thing, but for now thank you, I'll have some of what you're peddling.
I like burning dead dinosaurs!!
As you know mine went, old box back to Audi, new one in from Audi but that is warranty for ya. If I had no warranty you'd have been doing it :)
