Hey guys,

Did some research on our boxes just out of curiosity and ran across Graziano's (made by Oerlikon) PDF spec sheet. Definitely an interesting read for those interested or curious. I didn't realize just how many exotics used the Graziano transaxle gearbox. With that said, their gearboxes are not normally known for being notchy so to me it seems the main cause of our rough shifting has to be the oil (which the RP has seemed to have cured, long term updates coming). Not sure if the torque rating of 750NM applies to all their gearboxes but either way, they seem to be able to handle stupid power (many of the TT gallardos are pushing upwards of 1000hp when built properly).


Quite impressive to say the least:

Very cool find! My dealer told me while test driving the AMV8 that it was the same trans as the Ferrari F360 and F430. I drove both of those cars around the same time as the AMV8 originally and I felt both had harder, firmer shifts. I assumed most of this was due to the TCU programming. Also, I thought that the R8 used Audi's DSG. Maybe this is their manual trans??? Anyway, nice info. and thanks for sharing.

does this only apply to the paddle shift version, and not manual?
