Spool Performance BMW DCT 8/8 - Reinforced Clutch Pack
The solution for high-performance and track-built BMW DCT setups
The Getrag/BMW 7-speed DCT transmission (GS7D36SG) is a high-performance and advanced dual-clutch transmission. However, when engine power and torque are raised above original factory settings or the transmission is used in demanding track driving, the original clutch pack can become a limiting factor in the drivetrain.
Increasing heat load, higher torque, accelerated wear, clutch slip during aggressive shifts, and, in the worst case, clutch pack failure are potential consequences when the original clutch pack is constantly operating under loads greater than designed.
The Spool Performance BMW DCT 8/8 - Reinforced Clutch Pack is designed to solve these problems.
This clutch pack has been developed specifically for demanding track use and high-performance engine builds. It is designed to withstand significantly more torque than the original while maintaining drivability and clutch operation as close to original as possible.
The reinforced clutch pack is suitable, for example, with upgraded turbos, ethanol-based fuels, or other performance modifications, as well as for drivers who want maximum durability for their BMW DCT powertrain for track driving.
Why choose the Spool Performance 8/8 DCT Clutch Pack?
Extremely High Torque Capacity
The Spool Performance 8/8 DCT clutch system is designed to withstand up to 1,000 lb-ft (approx. 1,356 Nm) of torque.
This capacity far exceeds the designed performance level of the original clutch pack, enabling reliable power transfer in both street and track driving.
Motorsport-Grade Friction Material
The reinforced friction plates use the manufacturer's own motorsport-designed and high-temperature-resistant friction material.
This material has been developed to withstand the repeated thermal cycles and high loads encountered in high-power engines and track driving.
Original-Like Engagement
Although the clutch pack is designed for extremely demanding use, the friction material and compression profile have been optimized to maintain smooth and controlled engagement.
Drivability remains as close to original as possible, without excessive vibration or overly aggressive engagement.
Durable Steel Separator Plates
Each clutch pack includes precision-machined, custom alloy steel separator plates, designed to maintain stable operation and long service life under high loads and temperatures.
Short Break-in Period
Thanks to the optimized friction profile, the Spool Performance 8/8 clutch pack requires only a short break-in period before harder use.
Compatible with Original Clutch Basket
No machining or separate clutch basket is required for installation.
The clutch pack is designed to be installed directly into the original DCT clutch basket.
Compatible with Transmission Re-learning
After installation, the transmission undergoes standard clutch adaptation/re-learning with BMW's advanced diagnostic equipment.
After adaptation and a short break-in, the system is ready for full performance.
