I put the bell-housing adapter plate back in the CNC tonight to make a few more changes and get a little more weight out of it. Its down to 7.5 lb according to CAD but I haven't confirmed on a scale yet. I think the production ones will be down to around 7.0.

The custom flywheels appear to be exactly as I specified, which also gives me some additional clearance. I might take advantage of that and make the adapter plates a little thinner for the production kits. But before I make that call I want to get the trans up in the car as is and see how it all looks.

Maybe I will find some time Sunday to put the trans up in the car.

Geez look at beekcake input shaft....

Machining work looks great!

It's a shame that no one will see it once installed.

Looks like Phunk is giving the power to the people.

Someone thought that this was just for auto tranny guys. LOL That is not the case, it is for the manual guys who keep breaking the tranny.

Any updates on this Charles?

No I took a little break from it. Just started playing with it again yesterday.

I have decided that making the stock driveshaft work is going to hold up the project, so I will revisit that later. I don't have any reason yet to believe that my original plan for it wouldn't work, but I think it will take longer than I want to wait right now. I am going to spec up a custom driveshaft to order next week to get things moving along. I will need the option anyway, because even if I make the parts to use the stock shaft, I think most people will opt out of that option when they see how the stock u-joints are held into the yokes (stock shaft was constructed intentionally to not be rebuild-able).

Having gone from a MT6 Z to a GT-R, you guys that do this are in for some fun. Driving a DCT with paddle shifters is the ultimate video game!

Waaap, BANG, waaap, BANG, waaap..........

I have to admit, I run consistantly faster lap times with paddle shifters on my simulator.
