Dodson Motorsport Promax Clutch

We start with using the Dodson Motorsport Promax Clutch. This unit is complete with billet baskets, outer cage, and cover drive unit which are all prone to failure even at moderate increases in power. This comprehensive design steps things up from a standard street solution and is the only clutch we recommend for the DL800. The Promax allows for several configurations of the clutch pack itself providing the highest level of engine torque holding capability for the DL800 while still providing the ability to be mild-mannered and streetable.

Dodson Motorsport OE Billet One-Piece 2nd Gear Upgrade

The Colab Garage NG2 incorporates Dodson Motorsport's billet 2nd gear upgrade, addressing a well-known issue in high-horsepower applications. When exceeding 1000 horsepower, the factory 2nd gear often fails due to the extreme torque generated by forced induction, even in vehicles that never see track use. This upgraded component is designed to match the existing gear ratios, providing a critical solution for enhancing reliability in high-performance DL800 transmissions.

Additional Included Extreme Duty and Reinforcement Upgrades

We then add the rest of the Dodson Motorsport catalog to the build which gives our DL800 package the NG2 designation. Starting with the Extreme Duty package of both the Dodson upgraded half shafts and Wavetrac rear limited slip differential. Also included in the Extreme Duty package is the Dodson Motorsport Billet Ring and Pinion which is essential when launching at the drag strip. From there we add the Dodson billet sump pan and rear differential cover for added strength and durability and finish it up by using the Dodson titanium bolt kit to ensure everything is held together properly and can be serviced in the future. The Colab Garage NG2 incorporates our stator enhancements, designed to improve the durability and performance of the oiling system components Every NG2 DL800 gearbox is cleaned using our Ultrasonic, LLC cleaner for all components including cleaning of your mechatronic unit and oil pump assembly to ensure proper operation prior to installation.
