VVWG Quick Tip

This video goes over the manual shift modes on a Volkswagen automatic or DSG transmission.

[@srhintz]

Correction: There is a clutch on the DSG. Two clutches in fact. No clutch pedal. It's not so much an automatic but has electronically actuated clutches though it will shift for you in non-manual modes. The other VW transmissions aren't like the DSG.

[@KidJaeProductions]

Road Toad that's what I thought. Direct Shift Gearbox. Automated Manual transmission.

Wait... using both hands on the steering wheel is bad? Looks like we've been taught all wrong.

[@flo663387]

Well if you drive a manual car, you have to take a hand off to switch gears. He said it sucks cuz its not ambidextrous, meaning u can shift up and down with one hand , u have to use left for dwn right for uo

Great video! I was one of those people with no idea of how the paddle shifters work. Thanks so much for your video!

How come your rpm's dont go up when you put it in s mode. Mine rises to 1200rpm

[@QLFProductions]

I have yet to drive in DSG mode. I keep waiting for someone to explain when to shift up or down but apparently it's whenever you feel like it and so I remain in drive because I feel something is missing. Like what happens if I'm in manual and I don't shift up when pressing on the gas pedal. In a regular manual I know when to shift base on the feel of the engine.

[@MrKlemenzi]

Its the same? You shift up whenever you want to. You can shift at 6k rpm or at 2k rpm if you want to lower your fuel consumption. Its excatly the same as manual, except that you dont need to press the clutch pedal since there aint one.

[@aitken]

DSG isnt a mode... its a type of gearbox.

[@JackVinall35]

It’s literally the same you just pull the paddle when you want to change up, you don’t need to remove your foot either as that’s the whole point of a dual clutch transmission. Depending on how much throttle your giving it is how fast the shifts will be, so if your cruising around changing at 3k with bugger all throttle it’ll take a second to change for smoothness but if your flat foot and going to 6k revs the changes will almost instant.

[@SalahEd25]

@@aitken yes and it stands for Diesel So Good.

[@Wilhelmjones]

It is always astounding realizing how truly unintelligent so many people are when it comes to cars and driving. I'm not even trying to be shitty but just listen to your comment. The lack of any understanding is insane.

[@abellegaz4622]

In the S "sport mode" can you upshifht and downshift your self or it is fully automatic?

[@flytii]

you can shift yourself with the paddles if you want while in S mode, but otherwise it'll rev high and shift automatically

[@ssaammeelliiss]

If you put it in manual mode (+ & -) You can use the paddles also and it wont shift automatically. Some shift automatically when you hit limiter but ive driven a few mk5 gti’s and they never automatically shifted in the plus and minus mode

[@TwoQs]

Recorded at 4:20PM. Nice.

Thank you very much for the tip Couldn't figure out how to use the tiptronic feature

Tiptronic is a different VW transmission.

[@Em22-wtf]

LOL!! I just got a 2008 VW Jetta Wolfsburg Edition and have no idea what the D+ or - means, there was no manual!

Good but stick with an manual gearbox

[@hansdekker5521]

Okay very good, thank you!

[@dopiaza2006]

One other feature is launch control when you floor the accelerator and brake then let the brake off...

[@diannecrawford9996]

Not without launch control activated. If its not activated you'll just burn the clutch😂

[@zahirbobat9055]

You have to turn traction control off aswell and have it in sport mode

[@MegaMarkitos99]

One quick question? So I’m pretty familiar already with the dsg trans and drove a Tiguan before my current 13’ Jetta with muffler delete but IM wondering, are you sure it’s safe to keep alternating between standard drive mode (D) and the manual gearbox? Like say your driving and you floor it on the gearbox then switch back to drive will still moving does that mess up the trans quicker. I only ask because on my old tig I would play around a little too much with the manual considering it was a tsi (really fun!) but yea I just worry a lot about my Jetta now. Any answers are much appreciated!

[@MegaMarkitos99]

Edit: sorry forgot to also mention that on the tig I would play around with it but also switch back and forth between gearbox and drive and it eventually started showing CEL and making a bad trans noise at only 20k miles

[@chrwl007]

It shouldn't damage the transmission if you use the manual gear selection feature, because the transmission control module would refuse to do anything monumentally stupid. Also, when shifting to Drive from M or S while in motion, the transmission will most probably stay in the same gear as you are currently in, or upshift due to high revs. That said, don't shift up and down and up and down and up and down in quick succession (in other words, don't play with the paddles; almost like a torque converter automatic hunting), because shifting like that will break even a manual transmission if done enough.

[@jboesz6569]

Can the mk6 oem dsg shifter be swapped into a mk5 with a tiptronic shifter?

[@TacoTeaser]

How will this feature effect your gas consumption?

While paddle shifting it's tough to keep both hand on wheel in turns.

You're not supposed to shift in the middle of a turn, because it can upset the car's balance.

[@tmister007]

@@chrwl007 True, sometimes on the end of a long consistent bend you run out of revs and can upshift whilst carefully managing the balance. You can do this whilst on the tyre grip limit

[@tedjohnson64]

@@flute136 It is when you override the default programming with the paddles.

[@flute136]

@@tedjohnson64 ok but his question is if in manual mode(any version) does the car rev match? And the answer is probably yes. If downshifting you will still feel a jerk but its probably completely fine for these cars.

[@tedjohnson64]

@@flute136 The car only does downshift rrev matching in S mode, not in D mode. The rev matching is quite noticable (loud), because when driving and slowing down while passing a neighbor, they give me a dirty look when it rev matches because they think I'm reving my engine at them. So to preserve peace, I always shift from S mode (my default) to D mode, when I'm slowing down near a neighbor who's out walking, in order to avoid rev matching. Hope that makes sense.

[@leoevs4412]

Hate that people call this an Automatic.....It's NOT an Automatic it's actually a manual gearbox with two clutches, one clutch operates 1st, 3rd, 5th and the other for 2nd, 4th, 6th which basically means the next gear is engaged ready for you to change to, yes there is a full auto mode which works through an electronic selector box but it's still NOT an automatic gearbox.........DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox)......

@@janm3793 you obviously know nothing about transmissions 😂

[@Mountainskatemedia]

@@MementoMori-xx5qo I get what you're saying, but by definition an automatic transmission has a torque converter, these don't, they're an equal mix of both, not one or the the other, not a manual but not an automatic

[@chrwl007]

To be perfectly accurate, though, the first DSG-style transmissions available in the Golf GTI didn't have two clutches, but two multiplate wet clutch packs. The later 7-speed DSG has a pair of dry clutches.
