8 SPEED 79 Series RETAIL KIT is HERE!!! THE BEST AUTO SWAP

[@PVSAutomotive]

3 modes are more than enough, I just wanna get in and drive the thing 😍 shifter looks mint 🤙

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

It still blows my mind how well this setup works behind the 1vd 🤩. Really needs some paddle shifters…. Any idea where to get some from?

[@PVSAutomotive]

@@ZeroTo60Tube what's a paddle shifter? I mean you can probably fit a paddle oar in a LandCruiser. Do you think carbon ones would be good 😂

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

We can make an oar shift the 8 speed no worries …. Forged carbon will be the way forward. 100 sets please.

Nice work guys im interested in doing my 79 what are your details and location please

[@imopn]

TBH for me two modes is all I would need given it still has low range and high range. 1 for using all that torque to just cruise around at low RPM (Hate that the manual runs at 2200rpm at 100km/h), and 2 that keeps the gears a bit longer and more engine braking. Regarding the conversation about the power it an take...I thought the ZF8 came in a version rated up to 1200NM?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

HIeght factory rated ZF is 950nm. However thats the factory rating with warranty etc. Its general belief they will take that 1200nm in stock form.

[@Nico_335i_DCT]

Great kit guys. Thanks for sharing. I hope you had a great Easter, with your loved ones. Dutch regards, Nico.

[@darrenmorgan5849]

Great job guys on working out a kit for the 8spd auto conversion 👌. As an owner of a VW V6 Amarok I am lucky enough to have a similar version of this transmission, and I just love driving mine with the auto. I’ve found the 3 modes in mine (which are the same as you have with that unit from BMW) is definitely all you need. Haven’t found a need for wanting anything more because the transmission is so good. And they are definitely smooth 👌. Curious to know if you will be tuning the second gear shift to be slightly more aggressive? I know they did change the tuning slightly in the VWs so it would be a bit more of a “positive “ shift while under load, like for towing. Apparently it was a request from the Australian VW side which requested this change, so it be better for towing. The downside is that on startup when the trans is cold it can be a bit more of a rough change. But once it has some temperature in it, it is smooth again. Great job guys. Keep up the great work👌👍

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Regarding the tuning, the difference between the VW/Audi zf and BMW is quite vast. In fact all manufacturers seem to go about the software and drive ability quite differently. This controller is more so like the BMW algorythms for shifting and clutch transitions. However it is changed again. We have done some work on the shifting in the lower gears and slow speeds to more so suit the torque band of the 1vd. But on the same note the controller was pretty good out of the box.

[@davegcg1355]

Well done . fantastic work Andrew & Brock

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Many thanks!

[@79series]

Well done guys. Thinking maybe most wont be sports shifting often, just click in drive and go and locating the shifter right up to the dash allowing cup holders and phone spots in the consol closer to the drivers hip.

[@TJANDMAC]

Looking good guys !!!!

[@lochlanmckenzie8992]

Impressive work fellas. cant beat a BMW 8 speed auto such a smooth fast gearbox! Id imagine bolting one of you're kits into a factory 70 series V8 would make it significantly quicker than a standard manual. not only that, fuel consumption must be so much easier to keep down in the city. Toyota should be taking notes 😉

[@FastaFuture]

I'll be after this kit for my 250hp 700nm 1hz 80 series

[@peterj5751]

I’d love one of these in my 200 series as well. The 6 speed is pretty average.

[@robinhouston5615]

Love your work. Number of modes : agree KISS, is there an option where someone could program one of their own to suit themselves? The amount of braking through the gearbox, how will you know if you program enough? Going down a steep track in 1st Lo range without having to apply brakes is great! Can you achieve the same with the auto. Also same scenario, (going down hill in 1st Lo) however now your towing a van, GCM of 6ish tonnes, can you program gearbox braking to cater for this? Can we get an update on pricing, and install options? Cheers

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Pricing for the basic kit is still on target from the first vid..... somehow.. $24000 installed. As for options not yet.

@Zero To 60 haha decent auto in a 200 series definitely. I hate the stock box characteristics in mine. Uses so much unnecessary fuel and they just slip and don't put the power and torque to the ground under normal driving conditions. What's the point of a nice V8 if the power isn't making it to the wheels and uses more fuel than it should. If you come up with a kit and can utilise the factory gea selector so everything looks factory you will have my money.
