Pièces 8HP Dodson, kits d'embrayage et internes

Shop Dodson 8HP parts, clutch kits, shafts, drums, seals, overhaul components and specialist transmission tools. Start with the exact gearbox code and the job the transmission needs to do. Product-specific fitment and included-parts information takes priority over this collection guide.

Choose Dodson and ZF 8HP parts by gearbox code

“ZF 8HP” describes a transmission family, not one interchangeable parts list. Before buying internal components, confirm the full transmission designation, donor vehicle, current symptoms, intended use and the parts already fitted.

Clutch and upgrade parts: compare the Dodson Motorsport clutch kit listing with the exact gearbox and build requirements, then work down the 8HP51 clutch options below.
Overhaul and service components: review products such as the DMS-6419 8HP51 overhaul kit, shaft seals and sump-pan kits by their individual application details.
Shafts, drums and hard parts: check the ATS billet main shaft, 7075 aluminium D drum and P3 planetary gear set listings against the same transmission family.
Assembly tools: use transmission-specific tooling only where the product listing and workshop procedure match the gearbox being built, such as the DMS-2558 assembly toolkit.

Find the 8HP51 clutch kit for your power target

This collection covers four clutch pack options for the 8HP51 family. The figures below are the ratings published on each individual product listing, including what each kit does and does not include. Treat them as one input into the decision and confirm your own torque target, vehicle weight and use with the transmission builder.

Stock to 750hp / 750nm: the DMS-8534 8HP51 Superstock clutch kit is listed as clutches only, so the rest of the package is ordered separately.
1250hp / 1250nm: the DMS-8535 8HP51 Sportsman’s clutch kit is listed with clutches and E+C hubs. The listing states the D drum must be added and the billet shaft is optional.
1250 to 1500hp / 1000 to 1500nm: the DMS-8695 8HP51 Sportsman’s Plus clutch kit is listed with clutches and E+C hubs and states that all optional accessories must be added.
1500HP and above: the Dodson Motorsport 1500HP+ clutch kit listing covers the highest-power end of this collection.

A clutch pack alone does not make a 1000hp or 1500hp 8HP51. The listing notes are the buyer’s first check: a kit that requires a D drum, a billet shaft or the optional accessory set is not complete until those parts are on the order. Read the high-power 8HP buyer guide before committing to a power target.

Shafts, drums and planetary sets for 8HP45, 8HP50 and 8HP51

Hard parts have to match the same transmission designation as the clutch pack. Mixing an 8HP50 drum or planetary set into an 8HP51 build is a fitment question for the builder, not something to assume from the family name.

8HP51 ATS billet main shaft for ZF 8HP45 / 8HP50 / 8HP51 transmissions, listed as an optional upgrade alongside the Sportsman’s clutch kits.
Billet 7075 aluminium D drum for ZF 8HP50 / 8HP51, listed as a required addition on the Sportsman’s and Sportsman’s Plus clutch kits.
P3 planetary gear set for ZF8HP45 / ZF8HP50 / ZF8HP51, the hard-part option at the front of the gear train.
DMS-7323 8HP51 high-stall torque converter upgrade kit, for builds where the converter is part of the performance plan.

Seals, sump pans and overhaul components

Internal work pulls the transmission apart, so plan the service items in the same order instead of discovering them mid-build.

DMS-6419 8HP51 overhaul kit for rebuild-stage gaskets and seals on the 8HP51 family.
DMS-6450 8HP45 / 8HP51 / 8HP70 OE sump pan kit for the pan side of the service.
DMS-6512 8HP5x / 8HP7x input shaft seal and DMS-6513 8HP5x / 8HP7x AWD output shaft seal for the shafts that come out during the build.

Pair the internal work with the service parts and first start prep guide, then check cooling and filtration so the gearbox is not asked to hold new power with tired heat control.

Tools, plugs and control-side hardware

Several listings in this collection belong to specific conversion jobs rather than to a clutch kit. Check each product listing for the transmission and the job it suits before adding it to a build.

DMS-2558 8HP51 / 65 / 76 transmission assembly toolkit for the assembly stage itself.
8HP / DCT plug and pin set connector for wiring-side connector work.
8HP DCT clutch emulator (master cylinder replacement) for conversions removing a clutch pedal from the vehicle.
Domiworks DCT park lock delete and HPR DCT Park Lock Delete 2.0 for park lock removal jobs.
8HP start stop accumulator delete kit for start stop accumulator removal.

Before ordering an 8HP clutch kit or internal part

Photograph the transmission tag and record the complete gearbox code and donor details.
Document symptoms, fault codes, fluid evidence and any measured findings before selecting replacement parts.
Set the torque target, vehicle weight and street, drift, drag or track use with the transmission builder.
Confirm every included and required component on the individual product page. Do not assume a clutch kit includes shafts, drums, seals or tools.
Plan cooling and filtration, calibration and supporting driveline work as part of the complete build.

Plan the rest of the 8HP swap

Internals are one lane of the build. Use the rest of the catalogue in the same pass so the gearbox, the adapter, the control package and the driveline are chosen together:

ZF 8HP gearboxes for the transmission itself, including 8HP45, 8HP50, 8HP51, 8HP70, 8HP75, 8HP76 and 8HP90 listings.
Engine adapter kits to join the gearbox to the engine, including LS, Barra, JZ, RB, N54 and B58 style builds.
TCU controllers and harnesses to run the gearbox and its calibration.
Transfer case and AWD / RWD conversion for AWD to RWD or RWD to AWD changes.
Shifters and controls for paddle shift, sequential and factory style gear selection.
Output flanges and driveline to finish the drive path after the gearbox.

Guides that support this order

Dodson 8HP parts FAQ

Does one Dodson clutch kit fit every ZF 8HP?

No. Match the product listing to the exact transmission designation and build requirements before ordering.

Should I choose transmission parts by horsepower alone?

No. Torque, vehicle weight, use, calibration, transmission condition and the complete parts package all matter. Treat published product specifications as one input, not the whole diagnosis.

What should I send for a parts check?

Send the transmission tag, donor vehicle, current symptoms or reason for the build, torque target, intended use and a list of parts already selected.

What is the difference between a clutch kit and an overhaul kit?

A clutch kit covers the friction and hub side of a power upgrade. An overhaul kit covers rebuild-stage components for the transmission service. They are separate listings, and a build can need both. Confirm the contents of each product page rather than assuming one includes the other.

Do I need to add the D drum and billet shaft with a Sportsman’s clutch kit?

The Sportsman’s listing states the D drum must be added and the billet shaft is optional. The Sportsman’s Plus listing states all optional accessories must be added. Follow the notes on the listing for the kit you are buying.

Are all 18 parts in this collection direct fitment to my gearbox?

No. This collection groups the internal, service, tool and control-side parts stocked for ZF 8HP builds, including DCT related items. Some listings suit a specific conversion rather than a general 8HP rebuild, so open the product page and check its stated application before ordering.

Skip the parts-bin roulette. Compare ZF 8HP gearboxes, work through the clutch kit buyer guide, browse the parts catalog, or send the gearbox details to 8HP.Shop for a parts review before ordering.
