We’ve got to hand it to the engineers who sat down and came up with the idea to build a 7 speed transmission that shifts gears in 50 milliseconds. When BMW implemented their new dual-clutch transmission (or DCT), purists were up in arms that they could no longer row through the gears using an H-pattern gearbox. As time went on and more drivers got to experience the feeling of driving a car with a DCT, many came around to the idea. So much so that it is quite commonplace now to see DCT swaps bolted up to Toyota, Honda, Chevrolet and many other manufacturers' engines swapped in all sorts of different platforms. 

From the factory these DCT equipped cars utilize a dual mass flywheel to help dampen drivetrain shock and protect the expensive clutch baskets. We knew from the beginning that we wanted to develop a robust flywheel with a sprung hub to accomplish what the OE dual mass flywheel does, but cut back significantly on the rotating mass. As we were developing this sprung hub and some flywheels and adapter plates for a few select applications, word spread quickly as to what we were up to. Our sprung hub DCT flywheels and adapter plates can be found in many different applications that we have designed in house as well as have helped design for customers coming up with their own DCT adapter plate kit solutions. We have even developed OE replacement flywheels for BMW owners wanting to ditch the dual mass flywheel and upgrade to something significantly more robust.

If you have your own DCT project and need a custom flywheel or adapter plate we are happy to help get you sorted out!
