Increasingly, modern sports cars feature high-quality, DSG transmissions and can suffer wear and tear or other damage despite their hard, reliable part in a variety of sports car models. Here at Brands Hatch Automatics, we offer solutions to your gearbox problems.
What is a DSG Gearbox?
DSG (Direct-Shift Gearbox) is a specific and highly technical form of semi-automatic gearbox technology. Therefore, an equally high level of expertise and skill is needed to carry out effective DSG car gearbox repairs. A major benefit of a DSG gearbox is that it will shift gears for you electronically.
This technology is essentially made up of two manual gearboxes within a singular unit. Going into further detail, it is comprised of two clutches, two gear shafts and an electronic control unit (an ECU). A normal gearbox will carry the gears with one shaft, however, DSG has the even numbers on the first shaft and the uneven numbers (and reverse) on the second.
The Gearbox ECU is responsible for making sure that both of these shafts work in unison with each other, especially when gear shifting. Not only do these dual-clutch transmissions provide virtually instant gear changes, but they are also more efficient than conventional automatic gearboxes as less energy is wasted transferring the engines power to the wheels.
Which DSG Automatic Gearbox Vehicles Makes and Models Can Be Repaired?
Our gearbox repair specialists are fully competent with virtually all types of vehicle makes and models. Due to our expert training and decades of experience, we can offer you classic gearbox repairs and reconditioning on a wide variety of vehicles, from the most vintage and obscure to high-tech contemporary vehicles fresh on the market.
Direct-Shift Gearbox is not used by all car manufacturers. A large proportion of Audi, Volkswagen, SEAT and Skoda models and will use DSG gearboxes. However, there are many more manufacturers who have recently began to develop DSG-style gearboxes. These often have their own names and acronyms and can, therefore, be confusing.
