The Dodson GR6 Sportsman’s 8 Plate Clutch Kit is the performance tier of the Dodson clutch range for the Nissan R35 GT-R GR6 DCT transmission. It supports builds up to 1,600hp. The kit steps up from the Superstock range with forged steel clutch baskets and forged aluminum pistons as standard.

Friction Plates and Steels

The kit includes 16 Dodson proprietary friction plates. The A-clutch and B-clutch stacks each carry 8 plates. Every plate uses Dodson high-performance friction paper for a higher coefficient of friction and improved heat resistance. High-strength, high-carbon, heat-treated steels pair with the plates to deliver consistent clamp force.

Sportsman’s vs Superstock Kits

The Sportsman’s kit upgrades two core components over the Superstock range:

• Forged aluminum A and B pistons replace the OE pistons and reduce reciprocating weight while maintaining strength
• Bonded seals replace O-ring type sealing for improved sealing performance under load

Forged Steel Baskets

Forged steel A-basket and B-basket reduce distortion under high torque. Induction-hardened splines extend wear life. An integrated bearing at the base of the B-basket adds load support and durability at high rpm.

Rebuild Hardware

The kit ships with new piston shaft seals and circlips for installation.
