Neutral in Traffic Signal ? 10 things You Should Never Do in A DSG / Dual Clutch Transmission Car

[@biswadeep2010]

One of the best explanations on how to use DSG gearbox .

[@DirectShift]

Thank you ! Glad you think so!

[@cnsapam]

Nicely explained. This also applies with all AT transmission too. Especially how to correctly put in P mode. To put in P position. - let the car settle in to complete stop after applying full Handbrake/ParkingBrake. While the gear lever is in N. - put the gear in P. To take out the gear lever out from P. - take the gear out from P to R/D while the Handbrake/ParkingBrake is still fully applied, and also have brake pedal fully pressed. - when desired released the hand brake and foot pedal.

[@DirectShift]

Thank you. And you explained it more better way. 😊

[@rajeshjosep]

What I noticed is: In D-mode, it upshifts to 2nd gear as soon as car starts moving. This causes frequent shifts in bumper to bumper traffic. In M-mode also, though you can control the upshift, it automatically down shits to 1st gear too quickly when the car slows down. However, in S-mode, it upshifts to 2nd gear only after RPM crosses 3000 and down shifts to 1st gear only after car is completely stopped. So if we want to minimise the gear shifts, S-mode might be better in bumper to bumper traffic. But I am not sure, if reducing the shifts helps in long lasting of the transmission? S-mode definitely helps in quickly moving to gaps in slow, at the cost of economy.

[@DirectShift]

Yes. I sometimes use S mode, if i don’t want to use M mode in bumper to bumper traffic. The behaviour of DQ200 is sometimes jerky and it’s mostly felt in bumper to bumper traffic or speed breakers. It shifts between D1-D2 and D2-D1

Never engage DSG gear at D (drive) when standing in traffic for long time. Keep it in P (Parking) or N(neutral) with handbrake. WRONG INFORMATION

[@SharedAccount-yz9zb]

Or just engage in manual mode, keep it in 1st gear in bumper to bumper traffic?

Hi, thank you for the tips......had a question: you mentioned that on traffic lights its best to be on D with brakes on. Can we also be on M1 with brakes on as well ?

[@DirectShift]

Yes. Basically D1, S1 and M1 all are same when car is not moving

[@storm3650]

@@DirectShift Thank you …… but I am still confused because of the contrary advice being given from a # of folks on U-tube / google etc. Their strong view is that while the VIRUS or Skoda 1.5 has fully stopped on the traffic light for more than a min or two, we need to be on NEUTRAL with brakes on and NOT on D1/ M1 with full brakes on. And then there are others who say that its ok to be on M1/D1 with brakes on. As example from a U- tube channel where a Volkswagen guru says that we should absolutely( with all technical data) be on Neutral and brakes on while facing a traffic light and when we have to wait … link below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/noXRZaWZqMSDhZosi=CZTzguejJpfgNMHE So in summary - are both ok ?? I really want to know what is best option so we don’t damage the DCG gearbox.. I own a 6month old VIRTUS 1.5 and want to make sure that I am doing the right thing. Your views please !! Thank u !!

DSG clutch success is yet to be seen in India since it heat up fast (Because of Dry nature) in bumper to bumper delhi traffic so many expert claim to put their gear in N position in long traffic red light stop to enhance their DSG Life.....

Galti se agar koi reverse m daalde when driving to kuch hoga kya?

[@rameshmendiratta7660]

Could you please explain more on "dont upshift while braking and vice versa " Segment and how we can drive to avoid confusing DSG.

[@DirectShift]

In manual cars, we usually accelerate before upshifting gears, and when we want to downshift, we typically apply the brake to slow down. In cars with DSG (Direct-Shift Gearbox), the system automatically upshifts when we accelerate. However, if we manually downshift using the paddle shifters or the manual mode while accelerating, the DSG gearbox can become confused because it learns from our driving style and adapts accordingly.

There won’t be any issues. But if you need to change manual to automatic and vice versa so frequently, you can use paddle shifters. Please check this video How to Drive Automatic Cars - ऑटोमैटिक कार ड्राइविंग सीखें, Sports Mode, Manual Mode, Paddle Shifter kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKaQo3SnfpKtga8

[@nehasachdeva7208]

You told to first engage handbrake on uphill and after releasing break then shift into park doesn't it put heavy load on handbrake ?

[@DirectShift]

Yes. It puts heavy load on handbrake. But the job of a handbrake to take load. And it’s more costlier to repair a gearbox than the cost needed for a brake assembly, although the load won’t damage the handbrake.

[@nehasachdeva7208]

On an uphill i put the lever in P(while brake pressed) and engage handbrake lever and after doing both i release the brake pedal. Is it safe or should i put load on handbrake first ?

[@DirectShift]

If you follow this sequence, there won’t be load on gearbox. First pull handbrake while the brake is pressed. Then release the brake so that all load will be on handbrake. After it put the gear lever to P

You do have more flexible options in torque converter than DSG. So as per your comfort level, to rest your foot, you can shift to N if stoping duration is more than 15-20 seconds. Else for 10-15 seconds, D is fine

[@DirectShift]

DCT is common noun and DSG is proper noun😃 VAG group name the DCT gearbox as DSG.

@DirectShift in DSG whichever clutch is free it shifts the gear, while in DCT clutch 1 is mapped to R,2,4,6 while clutch 2 is mapped to N,1,3,5

If you technically compare both cases, when one clutch is engaged for 1st gear obviously it’s the other one is free for 2nd gear.
