Gearbox Tuning

Unlock the full potential of your vehicle with AMC Performance’s expert gearbox tuning services. A gearbox tune can provide significant benefits, especially for specific vehicle models like BMW, by optimising the gearbox remap for improved performance.

Our team of specialists is dedicated to enhancing your driving experience by optimising your vehicle’s transmission, including automatic gearboxes and DSG gearboxes, for performance, efficiency, and responsiveness.

Why Choose DSG Gearbox Tuning? 

Gearbox tuning is a crucial element in vehicle performance enhancement. By recalibrating the Transmission Control Unit (TCU), we can improve shift times, increase torque capacity, and enhance throttle response, providing a smoother and more dynamic driving experience. 

The direct shift gearbox (DSG) is a dual-clutch system that allows for quicker gear changes. 

Dual clutch transmission tuning focuses on clutch engagement timing and pressure, offering distinct advantages over traditional torque converter automatics. Here are some of the key benefits of gearbox tuning:

  • Improved Shift Times: Experience faster and more precise gear changes.
  • Enhanced Throttle Response: Enjoy a more responsive acceleration.
  • Increased Torque Capacity: Unlock additional power from your engine.
  • Optimised Fuel Efficiency: Achieve better fuel economy with precise gear shifts.
  • DSG Gearbox Tuning: Customise shift speed, responsiveness, and overall gearbox functionality for significant improvements in torque delivery and acceleration, especially for high-performance and modified vehicles.
  • Engine Tuning: Enhance vehicle performance through adjustments to the gearbox and transmission systems. Increased power output from engine tuning necessitates complementary modifications in gearbox tuning to optimise shift points and torque management, ensuring an overall improved driving experience.

Tuning for  Automatic Gearboxes 

Gearbox tuning, including a gearbox remap, involves modifying the software that controls the transmission, allowing for improved performance, efficiency, and responsiveness.

Unlike dual-clutch transmissions, which focus on clutch engagement timing, traditional torque converters emphasise converter lock-up for performance optimisation. It is particularly beneficial for vehicles with automatic transmissions, such as DSG gearboxes found in Audi and Volkswagen models, where shift patterns can be optimised for better driving dynamics.
