What would be really neat would be a conversion to a 7 speed DCT - a Porsche PDK box!

However the configuration (input shaft to half shaft) of the ones I have seen seem to make that a very unlikely proposition

Plus of course where would you find one...

Hi what's the ballpark cost of doing that pleas, and did you ever make up a kit?

Thanks,

Dave

No kit. Most of the conversion is the same as the six speed. We have fabricated an adapter for the auto bellhousing. Ive also sourced a standalone controller for the transmission.
Cost 10/12 k I would guess. Reality is, time and materials.

The more we dig into it the bigger this project is. The reason I want paddles shifters is for Track days. Thats all i'll ever use them for. I build pro tour cars for a living and paddles have become one of our specialties and original plan was to 6 speed it but the auto in those are tough so I figured why not try to do some paddles.

We talked about a 6 speed auto, just don't have the time for all the fab work at the moment and we wanna have this at a track day sooner than later. And since this is a personal project the less amount of time down is the goal.

So... are you going to give that info out?? The source for the controller? Seems the C/5 trani has a similar build to the 928 setup. Then one would need to design adapters for the input shaft and 1/2 axels.
