Is the Volkswagen DSG Transmission Really That Bad?

[LucasLynn]

Here is an introduction to Volkswagen's DSG transmission: Model Matching: Almost all Volkswagen models are equipped with a 7-speed DSG transmission, including the Magotan, Passat, Phideon, Teramont, Sagitar, Tiguan, and Volkswagen CC, covering nearly all models under the Volkswagen brand. DSG transmissions are further divided into dry-type and wet-type DSG transmissions. Working Principle: Both dry-type and wet-type DSG transmissions operate on the same principle, featuring two sets of clutches working simultaneously—one managing odd-numbered gears and the other managing even-numbered gears. The main difference between them lies in the connection medium between the driving and driven plates. The dry-type DSG relies on air for transmission, while the wet-type DSG uses oil.
