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. Some examples of these DSG-style gearboxes which require their own specialist repair service include:
- Porsche (PDK) 911, Boxster, Cayman, Panamera
- Volvo (Powershift) C30, S40, V50
- Ferrari California

What our customers say
“I had heard of Mike’s reputation through a friend I met at a dinner party who had a good experience at Mike’s workshop when his Mercedes developed a gearbox problem.
As I live an hour plus drive from his shop, Mike suggested I go for a coffee while he diagnosed the problem on my car. I was prepared to leave it with him and train it back home but when I returned an hour later the car was not only diagnosed but he had fixed it too! Mike refused to take any money from me saying it was a simple fault and it only took him 15 minutes, so the least I can do is spread the word. Thanks, Mike and all the staff at Automatic Man in Acton. “

“If you are looking for an excellent automatic mechanic Mike is your man. We highly recommend Mike for his outstanding service and his negotiation skills with the warranty company when we needed our gearbox and torque converter replacing. Our usual garage was unable to help us but Mike stepped in and saved the day (and saved us a lot of money). We are very grateful for his attention and thank him for not giving up and for solving our problem. Our car is a dream to drive again – thank you”
