I'm in love with this transmission it's so fun to use yet so easy to operate I'm just glad there is a transmission out there that can finally give you the performance of a manuel this would be an excelent track car.
@Itzcipmonkuno i have the same problem on my MkV R32 once in a while. what happens with me is that the clutch does not fully disengage, therefore it is still in 1st gear trying to move while the brake is fully engaged. idk why it happens, but usually i dont get too worried- i tell myself its the Volkswagen God's saving me from another speeding ticket ;D
@xXxG3T0WN3DxXx or put it in N (neutral) hold brakes if necessary then press gas and hold still at 3.5 or 4000 rpm and then just throw it on to D (drive) when you need to and let go of the brakes if you were holding it. and after putting in on to D with in a second slam the gas to the floor for best results :), oh and turn off Traction control.
@IXGQ4LifeXI You are incorrect. There are TWO CLUTCHES on the transmission, not a torque converter as would be found on an Automatic Transmission. The two clutches are because there are 2 gearboxes, a "semi-automatic" (Where you have P-R-N-D-S) and a more manual-like one (where you have +/-). Also, the computer does most of the shifting, not the gearbox, as automatics would do.
@FowVayJetta I know what it is and how it works.. its badass and they faster then the manuals but whenever there is no clutch pedal and you can have the computer controll all shifting (take out of manual mode) it is an automatic by name though it is a computer controlled manual box basically..
@IXGQ4LifeXI though, to you, the absence of a clutch pedal and the lack of human intervention to shift gears may make it an automatic, it's neither referred to as automatic nor manual by the automaker. The entire anatomy is confusing to many, because it bears the facial resemblance to an automatic on the interior, yet a technical resemblance to a manual transmission. therefore, I'd find it best to simply call it "semi-automatic" for simplicity. so let's agree to disagree, OK?
@FowVayJetta Ok.. works for me.. doesnt matter what you call it.. manual, automatic, or semi automatic it still is badass.. most people just call by their name.. Like SMG or DSG when people ask if auto or manual
@FowVayJetta This is a manual gearbox shifted by a computer. So yes, you can call this a semi-automatic. But don't get me wrong, the computer is able to figure out itself to shift up or down as well. "TipTronic" lets you choose the gear yourself (like a sequential gearbox).
Being like a manual gearbox (instead of a torque converter), it combines the advantages of the manual (performance, better mileage/fuel economy) and the advantages of an automatic (no clutch pedal, continuous acceleration).
DSG can be operated manually, but with automatic benefits. 1) It is quick on the shift, very quick, quicker than normal automatics, quicker than normal manuals. 2) It keeps you from stalling the engine, it downshifts for you if RPM gets too low. 3) It prevents you from Red-Lining the engine, it upshifts for you if you hit the Red-Line. Within these borders, these RPM extremes, you may freely shift to your heart's desire.
@ripdux real mans car? WTF is a real mans car? U sound like an old granny.. Scared of new technology.. All because u grew up dreaming about men driving 68' mustangs, not everyone can openly admit their gayness like u.
i wish people would no what there talking about before they talk shit, its not a automatic transmission, its called DSG. its a manual transmission with 2 electronically engaged clutches. One clutch is for gears 1,3,5 and the second clutch is for 2,4,6. and this transmission has a better 0-60 time then the manual transmission and is overally faster. if you drove or were driven in a dsg car u would no that u can not get as smooth or as fast shifts then a manual transmission. so fuck off

thats so bad for an automatic transmission it puts alot of oil pressure in the transmissons torque converter ( not motor oil tranny) its also bad for the band that holds the first set of drums, the first drum plus piston and clutches in the drum your just wearing out the tranny that way alot faster if you want to launch get a stick shift
@mi2oahn It may be bad for an automatic transmission. This car has automatically shifted manual transmission, with dual clutches. It shifts just like a regular manual but quicker.

This isn't just "power-braking" as some suggest.Remember,DSG isn't a hydro-drive like a standard automatic.It is a regular gearbox with dual NC controlled wet clutches."Launch control" in this case recognizes your intent by using the brake and throttle and keeps the clutch disengaged(Just like a manual clutch pedal). No, it's not a trans brake, but it's not just holding the brake as some suggest... even though the EEC is doing most of it for you, it is in fact, launch control by design
@Bmw545m Actually, if you had any sort of intelligence, you'd realize this IS launch control. The DSG tranny has it, stock. Hear the stutter at 3k? yeah, that's launch control. Idiot.
@JobeMinacum i've driven a golf mkV R32 with HGP turbo on it - didn't sound like this it mate a HUGE stutter at 3k, this sounded like an ordenary automatic gearbox for me sorry :)

Yeah.....except the Germans invented it. Very few people I know have a DSG, and it's mostly on VW's and a few new 2012 Ford models......but I'm sure you knew that in the culturally vast territory of Tokelau :)
@NoKozak Funny because most Europeans use Automatic DSG transmissions over 5-6spd. Europeans like the American look while Americans love the Euro look. I wouldn't doubt you're an American to begin with.

Why on earth would we like something like a Chevy or Dodge design, not to mention the absolutely horrible Cadillac design. Where have you read that?! And if you think the DSG is the most commen tyoe of gear in europe. Riiiight. Most are manual due to our gas prices, taxes on cars, fuel ect. Most cars that are automatic, are the german diesels.
@ABOlsen69666 No in Germany and I lived there for many years, most VW fans love the look of NA Volkswagens it's the same where Americans love the european look to their VW. It's vice versa over in Europe.
@adamslurch71 of course they are ^^. Well what i mean is not everyone does 300kmph on the round do they? if they are they are even bigger pussies. The idea is to joy the car more when you drive it in manual get it? of curse not you are American...
@NoKozak oh yes its time to make assumptions, seeing as how I drive a 1982 240D Mercedes with the optional 5 speed, yea i guess I don't understand driving a manual transmission car, oh well I guess just b/c I live in America that I'm grouped together with the morons who don't know shit, thanks for letting me know that.
@beyond305 Nope it is launch control, the car does not power against the brake. With the foot on the brake and the revs up the clutch is held ready near the biting point and as soon as the brake is released the clutch is fully engaged. Launch control isn't available on all DSG equiped cars some will power against the brake but those fitted with Launch Control do actually have Launch Control.
@blue4splash Trying to hit the gas and go will mean the clutch starts to engage at around 1000rpm and then progressively applies until direct drive is achieved, gives a smooth pull away. Using launch control allows you to increase the rpm upto 3000rpm and when you take your foot off the brake the clutch slams home giving maximum acceleration off the line. Remember this is basically a computerised manual not a conventional auto.
@logiclee1 thanks a lot Lee, well I have an manual transmission car so I know very few about auto transmission, and only once I've driven a car with automatic, but that had a CVT (continuous variable transmission) and that's uber cool and different from this.
What can you tell me about a conventional auto what the difference between conventional auto and computerised manual?
@blue4splash A standard auto is a hydraulic pump driven by the engine.The hydraulic motion is then converted back into shaft HP through valves,clutches and gears. Large amounts of engine output is lost converting engine power to shaft power through the pumps.A manual transmission uses 100% of engine output and transfers it to the gearbox because it's all gears,no pumps. The DSG is a "manual" style gearbox with computer controlled clutches making it MUCH for effective than human actuated pedals.
@R26nitro250 Only certain VW's with DSG have Launch Control. You might be able to get your dealer to flash it onto your car but I know my 2010 VW Jetta TDI DSG does not have it.
that would be my question, but I'm not going to do any launches with mine. The DSG tranny is a work of art in regards to smooth shifting and the sport mode is timed super good, so well in fact that I very rarely ever use the paddle shifting mode except to demonstrate that it exists.
How is that launch control? Launch control lets you floor the accelerator to the floor and will hold the revs at the set rpm. This video is just putting it into gear, putting your foot on the brake and holding the revs.
What this guy does can be done with any automatic transmission. Only problem is if there's no oil cooler, you can burn the ATF and mess up your transmission.
Sorry to say mate, but this doesn't look like launch control.
This is just stalling the car up to put it into a higher part of the rev range and acquiring more torque.
A proper launch control system allows you to mash the throttle, and the launch control allows the maximum possible throttle to be applied without wheelspin.
@acasey2001 lol you a troll going around on all these videos with dsg in them....hop off our dicks kid really...besides your can dose nothing close to this...and btw i have a dsg and manuel they r both awesome but i find myself driving the dsg more...because of traffic and i love how smooth it is
launch control has to be specially designed for the cars drivetrain. a golf gti won't have been designed to take the abuse of holding the accelerator and brake simultaneously. don't try and impress your friends with your so called 'launch control' because its only going to cost you heaps of money to fix a ruined dsg 'box.
hi i work for vw in the uk and id just like to say if you keep doing that you are going to knacker the clutches mate it is not at all wise to hold the brake and accelerator at the same time in ANY dsg equipped car!
@TheIronchin also please explain to these simpletons what exactly launch control means. IN LAUNCH CTRL THE ENGINE RPM IS PRECISELLY DETERMINED SO THE CAR CAN ACCELLARATE AT OPTIMUM TORQUE. i cant explain it better perhaps you can?
@TheIronchin You work for VW UK? Awesome! Can you share your experience regarding the durability of the Polo's DSG box when driven gently, but with the occasional bout of full throttle acceleration thrown in? I'm thinking of buying one in the near future but clutchless manuals from other makers don't seem to have the best reputation for durability.
And does it stop the car from rolling backwards during hillstarts, or would I have to use the handbrake just like have to with my manual?
@chriswbaldwin ok but if you are driving a auto you might as well not be driving. manual is always better because you have more control over the car and shows real skill of driving
tiptronic is the driver controlling an automatic transmission, the dsg is a gearbox with a clutch where either the computer can control it or the driver can
It's a dual clutch manual gearbox without the clutch pedal. When you shift in manual, the gears show up on your cluster and it tells you what gear your in. Then you can shift up or shift down just like you would in a manual. Shifting is ultra fast since there are two parts to the gearbox, odd and even. The even side has your 2nd, 4th, and 6th gear, while your odd has your 1st, 3rd, and 5th gear. So when you're in 1st gear, 2nd gear is ready to be switched to since it's on the even side.
DSG is automatic AND manual transmission... Basically, you can select how you want to drive the car, manually or automatic... in both of these modes, the shifting is so fast and smooth that you won't even feel it.
Misterkools you just need to warm up your car a bit do a 1 minute fast ride then try it again, turn esp off put it on S or manual 1, stomp on the brake, then stomp on the gas on and off til u see the rpm go up to 3000, good luck but don't abuse the launch control it really wears out the clutch..
i got a question, When i put it in S, it does not let me pass 1,400 RPM and i dont want to stomp on it bcuz it feels like its gunna burn tires please help
you must get a 60k or more manufacture warranty bumper to bumper at no cost, if you're planing to buy this cars, turbo is not well done YET. if those bast.......rs at vw say this car is good they won't say no to give you that minimum warranty. Don't be fool by them.
The twin-clutch transmission, also known as the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) or dual-clutch transmission, is an automated transmission that can change gears faster than any other geared transmission. Twin-clutch transmissions deliver more power and better control than a traditional automatic transmission and faster performance than a manual transmission!!!!
@lrusak You've got a point about losing the feel of the clutch, but I disagree about control, because in "manual" mode, you select the gears when and as you please using the paddles or the gear lever, so it's just like a manual but without the momentary delay and power interruption that pressing the clutch on a manual causes. That's why formula 1 cars and WRC cars use clutchless manuals (a.k.a. sequential manuals) and not ordinary manuals.
@Marattz DSG FTW! The only transmission that can theoretically beat a DSG is the CVT since it can keep the engine exactly at peak power rpm during the entire acceleration process at any speed (and like a DSG, it does it without slipping at all). Problem is that it's hard to make a CVT that lasts as long as a manual or even a decent automatic, durability-wise. Oh well...
@Marattz Any automatic transmission will shift faster, and more consistent than a manual transmission, because of driver error. But because of power drain in an automatic and the torque converter taking up so much power, a manual if shifted properly and with the right driver will net about 2 tenths of a second in the quarter mile, all else equal.
@candle3k . The DSG does not have a torque converter and is direct drive in each gear so no slip losses. DSG just swaps clutches to change gear, takes around 8milli seconds. The 6 speed version on this car has wet clutches, the 7 speed version uses dry clutches exactly the same as a manual box.
@candle3k Dry clutches are used in the 7 speed to reduce weight and drag. The dry clutch dsg uses far less hydraulic fluid and has a much smaller hydraulic pump. Major benefit is of course increased fuel economy. The dry clutch dsg boxes are usually more economical than the manual version.
That is some nice shoes!

@adamslurch71 of course they are ^^. Well what i mean is not everyone does 300kmph on the round do they? if they are they are even bigger pussies. The idea is to joy the car more when you drive it in manual get it? of curse not you are American...

@NoKozak oh yes its time to make assumptions, seeing as how I drive a 1982 240D Mercedes with the optional 5 speed, yea i guess I don't understand driving a manual transmission car, oh well I guess just b/c I live in America that I'm grouped together with the morons who don't know shit, thanks for letting me know that.

@NoKozak It's a dual-clutch system, not a slush-box. Fires off shifts way faster than you could possibly hope to.

POWER BRAKE ! NOT LAUNCH CONTROL
beyond305 1 year ago
@beyond305 Not its called launch control. My GTI's handbook says it.
KathyGriffinlover22 1 year ago
@beyond305 Nope it is launch control, the car does not power against the brake. With the foot on the brake and the revs up the clutch is held ready near the biting point and as soon as the brake is released the clutch is fully engaged. Launch control isn't available on all DSG equiped cars some will power against the brake but those fitted with Launch Control do actually have Launch Control.

why don't you just hit the gas and go? can someone explain me :D?
blue4splash 1 year ago
@blue4splash Trying to hit the gas and go will mean the clutch starts to engage at around 1000rpm and then progressively applies until direct drive is achieved, gives a smooth pull away. Using launch control allows you to increase the rpm upto 3000rpm and when you take your foot off the brake the clutch slams home giving maximum acceleration off the line. Remember this is basically a computerised manual not a conventional auto.
logiclee1 1 year ago
@logiclee1 thanks a lot Lee, well I have an manual transmission car so I know very few about auto transmission, and only once I've driven a car with automatic, but that had a CVT (continuous variable transmission) and that's uber cool and different from this.
What can you tell me about a conventional auto what the difference between conventional auto and computerised manual?
blue4splash 1 year ago
@blue4splash A standard auto is a hydraulic pump driven by the engine.The hydraulic motion is then converted back into shaft HP through valves,clutches and gears. Large amounts of engine output is lost converting engine power to shaft power through the pumps.A manual transmission uses 100% of engine output and transfers it to the gearbox because it's all gears,no pumps. The DSG is a "manual" style gearbox with computer controlled clutches making it MUCH for effective than human actuated pedals.

@MrDenyzor
that would be my question, but I'm not going to do any launches with mine. The DSG tranny is a work of art in regards to smooth shifting and the sport mode is timed super good, so well in fact that I very rarely ever use the paddle shifting mode except to demonstrate that it exists.
ShiekUrBooty 1 year ago
How is that launch control? Launch control lets you floor the accelerator to the floor and will hold the revs at the set rpm. This video is just putting it into gear, putting your foot on the brake and holding the revs.

ChrisPatterson1986 1 year ago
Sorry to say mate, but this doesn't look like launch control.
This is just stalling the car up to put it into a higher part of the rev range and acquiring more torque.
A proper launch control system allows you to mash the throttle, and the launch control allows the maximum possible throttle to be applied without wheelspin.

launch control has to be specially designed for the cars drivetrain. a golf gti won't have been designed to take the abuse of holding the accelerator and brake simultaneously. don't try and impress your friends with your so called 'launch control' because its only going to cost you heaps of money to fix a ruined dsg 'box.

@TheIronchin also please explain to these simpletons what exactly launch control means. IN LAUNCH CTRL THE ENGINE RPM IS PRECISELLY DETERMINED SO THE CAR CAN ACCELLARATE AT OPTIMUM TORQUE. i cant explain it better perhaps you can?

@TheIronchin You work for VW UK? Awesome! Can you share your experience regarding the durability of the Polo's DSG box when driven gently, but with the occasional bout of full throttle acceleration thrown in? I'm thinking of buying one in the near future but clutchless manuals from other makers don't seem to have the best reputation for durability.
And does it stop the car from rolling backwards during hillstarts, or would I have to use the handbrake just like have to with my manual?

b23balla4lif3 2 years ago
It's a dual clutch manual gearbox without the clutch pedal. When you shift in manual, the gears show up on your cluster and it tells you what gear your in. Then you can shift up or shift down just like you would in a manual. Shifting is ultra fast since there are two parts to the gearbox, odd and even. The even side has your 2nd, 4th, and 6th gear, while your odd has your 1st, 3rd, and 5th gear. So when you're in 1st gear, 2nd gear is ready to be switched to since it's on the even side.

The twin-clutch transmission, also known as the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) or dual-clutch transmission, is an automated transmission that can change gears faster than any other geared transmission. Twin-clutch transmissions deliver more power and better control than a traditional automatic transmission and faster performance than a manual transmission!!!!

@Marattz DSG's are nice, but still don't give you full control/feel of a manual transmission. Heel/Toe downshifting is manual only
lrusak 1 year ago
@lrusak You've got a point about losing the feel of the clutch, but I disagree about control, because in "manual" mode, you select the gears when and as you please using the paddles or the gear lever, so it's just like a manual but without the momentary delay and power interruption that pressing the clutch on a manual causes. That's why formula 1 cars and WRC cars use clutchless manuals (a.k.a. sequential manuals) and not ordinary manuals.
LMF5000 1 year ago
@lrusak why do you need to heel-toe downshifting when the DSG does the rev matching for you?
jrtjean 1 year ago
@Marattz DSG FTW! The only transmission that can theoretically beat a DSG is the CVT since it can keep the engine exactly at peak power rpm during the entire acceleration process at any speed (and like a DSG, it does it without slipping at all). Problem is that it's hard to make a CVT that lasts as long as a manual or even a decent automatic, durability-wise. Oh well...
LMF5000 1 year ago
@Marattz yes agreed but i have driving many cars with dsg and i prefer not having one, as they are not as smooth as manual at lower driving speeds
beboybo 1 year ago
@Marattz Any automatic transmission will shift faster, and more consistent than a manual transmission, because of driver error. But because of power drain in an automatic and the torque converter taking up so much power, a manual if shifted properly and with the right driver will net about 2 tenths of a second in the quarter mile, all else equal.
candle3k 1 year ago
@candle3k . The DSG does not have a torque converter and is direct drive in each gear so no slip losses. DSG just swaps clutches to change gear, takes around 8milli seconds. The 6 speed version on this car has wet clutches, the 7 speed version uses dry clutches exactly the same as a manual box.
logiclee1 1 year ago
@logiclee1 Wet clutches would be far superior for any car. I don't know why the 7 speed didn't use them.
candle3k 1 year ago
@candle3k Dry clutches are used in the 7 speed to reduce weight and drag. The dry clutch dsg uses far less hydraulic fluid and has a much smaller hydraulic pump. Major benefit is of course increased fuel economy. The dry clutch dsg boxes are usually more economical than the manual version.
