The Bamford Rose twin plate clutch, lightweight flywheel and SS1 software upgrade absolutely transforms the car. I think the technical term for SS1 without it is ‘shite’. With the upgrade the car is really good.
Great video. Correct me if I'm wrong. Are you saying sportshift 1 is standard and the upgrade becomes sportshift 2? Besides upgrading the lightweight flywheel and twin clutch do we upgrade the TCU? Where can I get more information on the flywheel, twin clutch and TCU upgrade?
It should probably just alert the driver that clutch slip has occurred but not disable the clutch. Question is if the dual plate clutch reduces the slave cylinder stroke and increases the shift time what if the software retained the feature of not completely disconnecting engine from gearbox during shifting, would it be even faster still?
I'll add this, if you can afford an AML i would buy a Quick Lift. Look it up, i just got one , it was a PITA to raise mine, but i have H&R springs. A standard Hight Vantage should be a walk in the park.
Hi your channel is very informative. Can you tell me does the 2015 V8 Vantage GT have a sportshift 2 or 3 unit? or is the 3 exclusive to the V12? Looking at a GT in Aus. Thanks
Just buying my first Aston Martin and to say I’m disappointed in the Vantage is an understatement! How AM got away with the inefficient Sporstshift system is unbelievable. Companies like Bamford Rose have a fantastic solution with their redesign lightweight flywheel and twinplate clutch set up.
I know is a expensive vehicle that engineering just wasn't perfect at some thing... It's a beauty thing that a few of us can make the car almost perfectly enjoyable.
Very informative, interesting and useful to understand
Great explanation of sport shift variant’s
Interesting, I didn’t know the V12VS had a twin plate clutch! That’s good news
V8 Vantage
For the amount of useful information it provides this video has surprising few likes even if it does deal with a relatively exotic car.
Good IT Crowd reference!
Is the software upgrade - disengaging the clutch wear "full stop" function a Bamford Rose special ? Or a feature in the AM software ?
Superb. Are there any ways to make the shifts faster for the 6HP26 in the 2013 vanquish?

How much does a twin plate clutch and light flywheel
Would you be able to talk about jacking chassis damage on Vantage? How to raise the cars correctly and also how to spot any damage? Great videos btw!

Did I hear right that the V12VS has a twin plate clutch?
He is in a V8 Vantage
As far as clutches etc go why couldn't Aston have designed a system like the Porsche PDK which always seems to get rave reviews?
My crawl mode never works its just stamding still in reverse and drive and 1st when i let go of the brake. What could be the problem? It never worked
Hi Andreas, which is your Aston Model?

you say, you would choose a S-shift2 updated over a manual, how about a S-shift 1 updated?
There is a blue redbull vantage v8s signed by ric.
Is it worth$200,000aus very low kms apparently only 17 came here only $70,000 under sticker?

Sportshift is shite.!! Until you change the clutch.! Different car altogether
Way too much Vantage content on this channel.There are other Aston Martin models.
