McLaren Clutch Upgrade

The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (SSG) is a high-performance gearbox used in various McLaren models equipped with twin-turbocharged V8 engines.

When enhancing engine performance, it is crucial that the transmission is upgraded as well, ensuring that it will reliably perform under the increased power generated by high-boost, twin-turbo applications typical of McLaren platforms.

DEKA excels in providing high-quality transmission upgrades, using expert engineering and the careful replacement of high-wear OEM components with CNC-machined billet elements, increased frictions, and precision craftsmanship assembly.

Benefits include greater holding power and durability, reduced clutch slippage, and enhanced performance under extreme load conditions.

Each level of upgrade provides greater torque rating, offering a unique solution for each build, driver preferences, and budget.
