Who makes VW automatic gearbox?
In simple terms, a DSG automates two separate manual gearboxes (and clutches) contained within one housing and working as one unit. It was designed by BorgWarner and is licensed to the Volkswagen Group, with support by IAV GmbH. DSG means Direct Shift Gearbox, and is an electronically controlled, dual clutch, automatic gearbox. It combines the best aspects of manual and automatic gearboxes.Disadvantages of a DSG gearbox One is that they are more complicated than a traditional manual gearbox, so DSG models typically cost more than manual equivalents and in theory, should they break you will have more of a financial headache on your hands.Put simply, yes, DSG gearboxes are good. They’re some of the fastest-shifting and most efficient gearboxes on the market and have proven to be very reliable.The advantage of the DSG over a conventional automatic is that the gearbox that’s not currently in use is able to work out which gear you’re likely to want next and will prepare it for use. This allows for both smooth and fast gear changes.When it comes to comparing which one is better, CVT vs DSG, then for sure, DSG is a better choice. In a traditional single-clutch CVT gearbox system, using a single pair of clutches means that one clutch disengages a gear and the other engages the next at the same time.
