Uh.. What ever.. :scratch:

The getrag and the volvo are not the same thing are they?
I'm confused now..

Help

Looks like Volvo is going to be using it in their lineup, so going to be a Ford transmission. Makes things more difficult. More difficult would mean bell housing incompatibillity ? These dsg's are very compact so there should be enough room for an addaptor plate between the engine and transmission...

For 2008, Volvo is adding a DCT to the S40 and V50 while Ford is also adding one to the Focus equipped with a new 2.0L turbodiesel. Chrysler is also installing a DCT in European-spec models of the new Dodge Journey CUV. By 2010 Getrag expects to sell 500,000 DCTs a year growing to 2 million by 2014....

Totaly different from the zero shift system wich uses a traditional manual gearbox though.
Wonder what cars these are to be found in at the wreckers;)

What do you guys think? A good alternative for the outdated syncro systems. Seems like a possible upgrade worth investigating..

This is a really great post! I'm wanting to rebuild my muncie 3.65 and also ,if I can find one, swap the 3.32 guts over. I would like some more info on the tools needed. The Kent Moore Shim selector kit is needed every time you open and close te case, or only if you swap internals from another trans...

Thanks for those links very helpful. Do you have the C2 connector on your PC, that would really simplify this puzzle :salute:

My harness is from 97 GTP, yours?
