I am quoting a post from slonik that discusses all the details of the Slon-Workshop DCT pan and the design philosophy:

I am doing my transmission this weekend, so I will know better, but something somewhere is not right with Al screws. As a side note, my car is 03/2012. |

what mileage do you suggest performing tranny service (fluids + filters)? EDIT: I've been reading ~75k, but Blackstone samples from 110k were reported fine Last edited by kabeero; 01-18-2018 at 04:31 PM.. |

I found some interesting information in this thread about having the DCT re-learn valve pressures, apparently only needed if certain DCT components are replaced though, LINK.
There is also an "oil adjustment" function in this software though it's unclear what that is for based on the information presented in the thread. Maybe kenwelch can enlighten us.

Your point about the Gintani DCT fluid level/baffle design is entirely speculation, and likely not the case. Do you know what the interior of the Gintani pan looks like? Any pics? Maybe you should buy the Gintani, be the guinea pig, and give us some real data. It's cheap, right??!! |

thanks for quoting my post. sorry me, sometimes i'm forget, that not all people works with the cars, parts etc, so can't see some technical features of the parts, all differences, which are usually hide in a small details and give completely different overall result. so, i'll try to explain some other features of our pan, which make it different from others. another feature of our pan, which i see can be really important - oil leak problem solved. aluminum pan doesn't have bending effect under high temperatures like oem plastic pan. also, we purposely gone away from oem rubber seal. oem plastic pan can't work without it - it's need for compensating thermal expansion of plastic, bending etc, to save it from quick leaking (but you saw result on your cars already). aluminum pan has same thermal expansion as overall gearbox case, and even more - if we mount aluminum pan without thick rubber seal, assembly works as a solid part, pan starts to work as strengthening, and adds a lot rigirity to the gearbox case. may be on m3 e9x NA engine this is not such important feature, but on cars with a huge torque, this is more than relevant (it's hard to imagine, but under high loads even aluminum case can bends, that negatively affects on the overall gearbox resource. beauty in details - we made small groove on the side surface of our pan, for easier and better sealant applying. another simple detail - we are save oem magnet ring (mounting place on the pan). without it gearbox resource will fall dramatically (it catches any wear particles in oil, and extends gearbox life). you can think, that it's too easy, but some of aftermarket pans missed that important thing, and have no magnet at all. kabeero Quote:

yep, you need to take magnet from oem plastic pan and mount it to our pan.

I don't think you would be able to drain 100% of the fluid unless you somehow empty the cooler. Even so, you would still have some fluid left in the pump and other components inside. You can always manage to push in fresh fluid throughout the system, achieving the same results. Still, no adaptation/learning process is needed. However, if you replace some internal components (ie. pump, mechatronics, clutch) you do have to run adaptation.

Did the DCT service yesterday, replacing oil pan, suction filter, high pressure filter and mechatronics gasket and cover. Tranny was left in place, no unbolting/lowering was necessary.
6 liters of fluid out, 6 back in. Thought about getting all of the fluid out, but I only had 6 liters with me. Tranny is running perfectly fine. |

I'm at 50k miles and replaced the suction filter this morn. Not a bad DIY, just messy. I got 5 liters out, fluid appeared fresh & nothing on the magnet at the bottom of the pan. 5 liters of Motul DCTF went back in. I'm hoping to get a higher capacity pan within the next 25k miles and will change out the pressure filter then.
No perceptable performance difference after changing fluid. I did save a sample to send to Blackstone. I will update here with results. Thanks to those who have contributed tips and experiences as they were very useful! Last edited by M43S7RO; 01-21-2018 at 05:07 PM.. |

Also, did you actually replace the mechatronics cover? If so, how come? Thanks! |

You either have to have small hands or have a friend with small hands. And patience. I have a friend who is a mechanic and has all the necessary attributes. The trick is to bend down the heat shield where the cover thing is screwed into. I don't remember the name of that thing, but here you have an idea. Let me know if I can be of assistance. |
