Has anyone cracked an after-market TCM for the C8 Corvette Transaxle yet?

[Jose Carlos]

Hello Everyone, I see these dual-clutch Tremec trans keep popping up on ebay for a decent price.
They seem to be compact and starting to be mass produced to the point where the price of a DCT Transxaxle is more and more reasonable for enthusiast builds.
Has anyone managed to create some interface with it yet outside of the C8 platform?

As far a I can see no - since HTG have ceased it’s down to a company to have their current controller and a car with one fitted to then do the R&D to work out how to Control it

Think 2options would be great long term
Canbus input and analogue
I feel both can be achievable as most wanting to fit this won’t be on a production car so the ability to fit required sensor on non canbus won’t be a issue
I’m presuming- crank trigger - tps - brake pedal
- road speed - possibly if need map and maf - if these are able to be used as inputs and are needed

I run Omex on a old yank v8
Very easy to add the above sensors to the engine and get a exact ignition option when in boosted applications- can’t see why I can’t just reverse engineer a tremec 9080 I have and work out what order is needed to run it -
Odds and even gear rails controlled by solinoids or actuators I presume - oil pump - electric clutch on and off - obviously a lot more to it but it’s just understanding what’s needed -
I build automatic transmissions so understand how they operate but this unit is a mix of both manual and automatic transmission

Has there been any advances in this endeavor? I rebuilt transmissions as a kid who needed to get to and from work, and have studied the changes with electronics added to autos. I had 2 torqueflight 904's that I had to replace clutches in every 2-3 months due to my driving style, then later had a 1990 Dynasy that had an intermittent shift hickup I fixed for $40 after the transmission shop told me it needed a rebuild. "sometimes snap rings pop off then back on" Yea, no.

I agree, this seems much easier than an electronic controlled auto if you want it as a manual sequential box. I can see the programming getting advanced if you're trying to make an OEM quality full auto box. Simply verify the commanded shift is safe, select the gear, cut fuel and swap the clutches, and restore fuel.
