The 2020 370z needs a DCT

phunk · 02-01-2021, 03:24 AM

Car has been driven. Seb has it performing shift cut too, which is great.. it cuts off power momentarily while alternating clutch packs. This was a feature I thought might take longer to get dialed in but he had it working first time out. Seb sounded really excited about it when I talked to him today, and said it makes the car so much nicer to drive around, and he expects he will drive the car a lot more often now. There are a couple small quirks he wants to work out and then he will have videos to share.

Will this transmission solely be a replacement for the manual?
Or potentially an option for the A/T guy’s as well?

It'll be an option for the A/T guys too. I asked Seb that when I talked to him the other day.

Does it cause the car to "fart"? Most cars with these trans will make a distinct "fart" sound during the engine cut, my 2016 GTI DSG would do it and I really liked it!
It was called "DSG Farts" in the VW/Audi community.

Seb said you can hear it, but he has not yet described the sound

There's a mexican food restaurant close to Specialty Z. It may not have been the transmission.
