Komo-Tec double clutch transmission "IDS"

After an intensive development period, extensive test drives and programming, we can present you our solution for a double clutch transmission in the Exige V6 called „IDS“.

The Komo-Tec "IDS" (Intelligent Direct Shift) stands for a fully automatic 6-speed direct shift automatic transmission which, with the help of two clutches, enables you to accelerate without interrupting tractive power *.
What was the basic idea for the IDS concept? We started developing a double clutch transmission as early as 2016. It was important to us to find a good compromise between the existing manual and the the available IPS automatic transmission from Lotus. Unfortunately, the IPS gearbox was a classic “old school” automatic torque-converter that shifted very slowly and kept attention with problems.

The Komo-Tec IDS (the basis is a VAG DQ250) is exactly the solution you are looking for in between. No more mechanical shifting and indifferent searching for gears or even shifting on the racetrack are a thing of the past.
Especially with a model as agile as the Exige, you now have both hands on the steering wheel and enjoy the much faster gear changes in harmony with full control of the vehicle. Furthermore, the transmission can also convince in terms of driving comfort in normal road use. The selector switch to D and the vehicle can be moved comfortably and quietly in everyday life or master the long drive on the motorway. For the automatic upshifts and downshifts, both the engine speed and the speed of the vehicle are taken in notice for the shifting process. Of course, you can also take manual influence by pulling the shift paddle. Here the system shows the dramatic improvement in dynamics. Without interrupting the tractive power*, the full dynamic potential of the light vehicle is released. A special feature in manual mode (IDS +/-) should be mentioned here: When upshifting, the electrical transmission control from Komo-Tec only reacts to the explicit actuation of the paddles and thus the driver's shift request! Every Exige now manages to cover the bandwidth between a spectacular track tool and an everyday sports car. The manual shift option is located directly on the steering wheel using shift paddles and in the center console we offer you a high-quality panel with gear selector for the classic automatic options D (Drive), N (Neutral), P (Park) and R (Reverse), as well as S (Sport) and "IDS +/-" for the manual operation of the paddles.

The system was integrated into the vehicle in such a way that all other functions and displays remain fully functional and the gears are even shown on the original factory spec display.
The gear ratios are similar to the standard gear ratio in 6th gear, which corresponds to a calculated top speed of 306 km/h at 7,250 rpm. However, gears 4 and 5 are kept shorter in order to enable better gear connections and to further increase the dynamics.
We always deliver the gearbox conversion including a mechanical limited-slip differential, as this offers itself as a synergy as part of the labour. We consider this addition to be mandatory to increase traction and drivability. Modified drive shafts contribute to the stability. Technically, the Komo-Tec IDS gearbox works with a wet-running multi-plate clutch which can achieve up to 650 Nm and is then adapted to the V6 engine with a lightweight flywheel and a specially made adapter plate. The transmission is adequately cooled by an integrated water-to-oil heat exchanger.

At 84 kg, the gearbox is still only insignificantly +17 kg heavier than the classic manual-6-speed-shift (EA60 = 67 kg) or +22 kg for our sequential 7-speed gearbox (62 kg) with significantly lower maintenance costs due to the use of large-scale technology.

The price includes:

  • "IDS" dual clutch transmission
  • KT electronic control unit
  • shift paddles on the steering wheel
  • election panel in the center console
  • KT gear adapter
  • KT drive shaft LH
  • modified drive shaft RH

  • engine/gearbox mounting Lotus 350 (for Exige S V6 models MY12-15)
  • lines, hoses, actuators
  • labour
  • teach-in gear indicator
  • programming and adjustment of the gearbox on the vehicle

* applies within the permitted speed range and for shift ranges between even to odd gears and vice versa.
