DCT Clutch kit from Dodson
http://www.performanceracing.com/pre...-pri-show-2014
Not affiliated with them, but nice to see that someone at PRI was showcasing solutions to improve the DCT for high powered M5s. Sharing as I don't recall anyone posting it. |

This is the right way that must be down before tuning the car and preventing the DCT from damage.
What's the price?

I've got 2k miles on their various parts and trans oil for my built GTR... I'm quite happy with their stuff.
Elephant in the room is still What is the limitations of the DCT... NO matter how many times I ask it in these tuner threads nobody answers lol.. I can't imagine much more than 650wtrq before things just start failing. Last edited by M5Rlz; 02-05-2015 at 06:11 AM.. |

http://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1084352 I'm assuming the big limitation is Clutch and looks like these guys agree with me to increase the limitation

I'll post up any info or updates I get from him. Edit: Check out this video, it's in Russian, but you can see how they dissasembled the whole DCT tranmission, and show how worn the factory clutch packs are, they also compared them to factory replacements, and then aftermarket replacements. Basically, factory clutch packs are coated in this paper/cardboard like material, and their replacement clutch packs are Kevlar coated. Something that the factory would never install, simply to warrant the need for replacement in the future when these cars are out of warranty. Skip to 8:00 minutes into the video to see the comparison of the clutch plates/packs. Last edited by Igor_M5; 02-09-2015 at 01:37 PM.. |

The transmission in the E70 X5M is just a traditional auto, not a DCT.

There's a strong possibility he swapped it out and disabled the differential so he's running a RWD setup.

This transmission will be in the new 2018 M5's this year in an AWD version as well. Very nice and smooth running transmission. Rated for 700 ftlbs of torque at the flywheel. SSP |

I am on stock DCT clutch and I dynoed my car about a week ago. Floored it 5th gear and had to let go of the gas at 5,000 RPM because stock clamps on charge pipes couldn't take it and started leaking boost and spraying meth. I looked at that pull and recorded 692WTQ around 3000RPM.
Never had any issues with stock DCT. My car as 48,000 miles. However, I DO NOT drive it hard, maybe once in a while. |
