GEARBOX FEATURES

More information coming shortly.

Optimized D + S + M Shift Program icon

Optimized D + S + M Shift Program

Improved unique shifting strategies matching your engine characteristic for ultra smooth up- and downshifting.

1st gear de- or reactivation icon

1st gear de- or reactivation

The main goal to reactivate the first gear is to reduce clutch slip resulting in less heat generation and clutch wear. For wet clutch applications shifting sooner to second gear might solve drivability issues.

Improved clutch cooling icon

Improved clutch cooling

Clutch cooling is improved by increasing the oil flow. This will reduce the possibility of clutch overheating and material deformation.

Improved thermomanagement icon

Improved thermomanagement

Improved thermomanagement will ensure that the transmission is always operating in the correct temperature range and warns the driver in case the DSG reaches critical temperatures.

Torque limiters raised icon

Torque limiters raised

Torque limiters need to be raised to utilize maximum potential performance of tuned engines. This also ensures the TCU can operate correctly at higher torque levels and calculations are not limited.

Increased maximum clutch pressure icon

Increased maximum clutch pressure

Within normal operation range and under steady conditions, clutch oil pressures can be assumed proportional to clutch torque handlings. So to handle more torque, more pressure is needed!

Improved shifting speeds icon

Improved shifting speeds

Ultra fast gear shifts in all DSG modes. Smooth on low load, ultra fast on high load!

Improved shifting paddles response icon

Improved shifting paddles response

Improved steering wheel paddles response. Smooth on low load, ultra fast on high load!

Improved upshifting speed icon

Improved upshifting speed

Ultra fast upshifts in all DSG modes. Smooth on low load, ultra fast on high load!

Improved downshifting speed icon

Improved downshifting speed

Ultra fast downshifts in all DSG modes. Smooth on low load, ultra fast on high load!

Improved take-off icon

Improved take-off

Improved take-off control calibrations resulting in smooth take-offs without factory bumps or drivability issues.

Improved torque reduction icon

Improved torque reduction

DSG torque reductions are mainly used to synchronize both clutches after shifting, therefore perfect timing is key for ultra fast and smooth shifting!

Customized upshift RPM setpoints icon

Customized upshift RPM setpoints

Perfectly matching upshift speeds based on engine characteristics and customer wishes.

Customized downshift RPM setpoints icon

Customized downshift RPM setpoints

Perfectly matching downshift speeds based on engine characteristics and customer wishes.

Auto up- and downshift deactivation in Manual icon

Auto up- and downshift deactivation in Manual

Gain full control over your vehicle in Manual (M) mode. No more unwanted automatic upshifts or unwanted automatic downshifts and "kickdown" in Manual.

Race mode without torque reduction icon

Race mode without torque reduction

Unique racing mode without torque reduction during shifting. All available power will be used for acceleration and no power will be interrupted during shifting which helps to shave off the last tens of a seconds! (*Increased vehicle wear, only recommended for racing applications).

Improved LC response time for quicker launches icon

Improved LC response time for quicker launches

Quicker launch times due to reduced take off delay. More responsive launches after releasing the brake pedal without any more factory delays.

Multi-step LC RPM limits icon

Multi-step LC RPM limits

Accelerator pedal dependent launch modes which allow the driver to adjust LC RPM, clutch engagement and power to match any situation and conditions.

LC with ESP ON activation icon

LC with ESP ON activation

Launch control with ESP ON enabled. Especially for vehicles with FWD or traction issues ESP often helps to improve launch times.

Boost on Launch mode (included

Boost on Launch mode (included "rally sound")

Special anti-lag Launch mode for quickest possible launches and a true motorsport experience. Racing applications only.

Special race clutch characteristics calibration icon

Special race clutch characteristics calibration

Perfectly matched race clutch characteristics calibrations to ensure the perfect balance between performance and drivability!

Gear Display Indicator (MFA) activation icon

Gear Display Indicator (MFA) activation

Enabling MFA gear indication in any driving mode.

Reduced engine braking icon

Reduced engine braking

Reduced aggressive and harsh downshifting due excessive engine braking without sacrificing responsiveness.

Coasting disabling icon

Coasting disabling

Factory coasting can be enabled or disabled for basically any DSG application.


DSG STAGE EXPLANATION

TVS DSG software solutions are divided into five categories to support the whole vehicle range. This means from drivability upgrades up to Stage 4 tunes for high performance vehicles.

    TVS Drivability & Life extender software is a recommendable upgrade for almost all VAG DSG transmissions. These days shifting strategies are mainly focused on lowering emissions and fuel consumption which has often an adverse effect on the drivability, durability and reliability of your DSG gearbox. In addition there are a lot of known DSG drivability and durability issues from factory which could be solved with TVS Drivability & Life extender software!

    • Stock (non-tuned) vehicles
    • Engine & Gearbox diagnostics
    • Improved drivability
    • Extended gearbox lifetime
    • Increased gearbox performance
    • Unique performance features
    • Special (TVS) race clutch calibrations
    • Additional options

    TVS DSG Stage I software is a low budget solution which only includes raising necessary torque limiters and is especially suitable for really mild tuned vehicles. For most tuned vehicles additional software modifications are needed to achieve sufficient clutch pressures and/or unlock the vehicles full potential!

    • Mild tuned vehicles
    • Engine & Gearbox diagnostics
    • Improved drivability
    • Extended gearbox lifetime
    • Increased gearbox performance
    • Unique performance features
    • Special (TVS) race clutch calibrations
    • Additional options

    TVS DSG Stage II software is the first real step into increasing your gearbox performance! It consists of various necessary software modifications for tuned vehicles improving your vehicle’s performance during launching, acceleration and up- and downshifting! This tune mainly focuses on performance, drivability & life-extender features are NOT included!

    • Mild and strong tuned vehicles
    • Engine & Gearbox diagnostics
    • Improved drivability
    • Extended gearbox lifetime
    • Increased gearbox performance
    • Unique performance options
    • Special (TVS) race clutch calibrations
    • Additional options

    TVS DSG Stage II+ software is the best priced all-in-one package for your DSG transmission! It does include all drivability & life extender features, necessary performance modifications for tuned vehicles and additional options as well!

    • Mild and strong tuned vehicles
    • Engine & Gearbox diagnostics
    • Improved drivability
    • Extended gearbox lifetime

    • Unique performance options
    • Special (TVS) race clutch calibrations
    • Additional options

    TVS DSG Stage III software is characterized as the strongest DSG software available on the market and especially suitable for high performance applications. Due to unique software modifications extremely high clutch pressures are achieved resulting in unprecedented high stock clutch torque capacities! In addition perfect drivability, durability and reliability will still maintain.

    • Strong tuned vehicles
    • Engine & Gearbox diagnostics
    • Improved drivability
    • Extended gearbox lifetime
