Direct Shift Gearbox

From our specialist Dublin gearbox garage, Bohernabreena Gearbox Centre offer the very highest standard of direct shift gearbox installations, direct shift gearbox repairs and direct shift gearbox services.
Direct Shift Gearboxes act in a similar fashion to an automatic gearbox. However, a Direct shift gearbox is essentially two gearboxes working as one. A DSG is connected to the engine by two drive shafts. The system also uses two clutches that are operated by mechatronics. A mechatronic system is a system controlled by both electronics and mechanics.
The major advantage of a gearbox of a DSG system, especially when compared to traditional manual and automatic gearboxes, is that a DSG gearbox automatically prepares for a gear change, allowing for both fast and smooth gear changes.
Direct Gear Box Systems are complex and require specialist expertise during servicing and repairs.
