Self Study Program 851403 – The 02E Direct Shift Gearbox

VAG SSP 851403. The current transmission market in Europe is primarily manual transmissions. However, the markets in Japan and the United States use primarily automatic transmissions. Both of hese transmissions have benefits and drawbacks.

Manual transmission benefits:

  • High efficiency
  • Strength
  • Driver control

Automatic transmission benefits:

  • High comfort
  • Ease of use

Based on this information, Volkswagen set out to design a transmission that combined the best characteristics of each of these transmissions. The result is the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG).

The dual wet-clutch design and automatic shifting programs of this transmission will satisfy the automatic transmission driver’s demands of high comfort and ease of use.

The fast and smooth shifting capabilities, which can be controlled by the driver, satisfy the manual transmission driver’s demands.

Also, this transmission offers fuel consumption characteristics as low as most vehicles with manual transmissions.
