If you're looking to enhance the performance of your vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission, gearbox TCU tuning is the perfect complement to our engine ECU remapping. We offer gearbox remapping for a wide range of automatic transmissions, including ZF6 and ZF8 torque converter automatics, DSG, Tiptronic, S-Tronic, and 7G-Tronic, among others.
Why Opt for Gearbox Remapping?
Gearbox tuning provides additional benefits that go beyond engine ECU remapping. With TCU tuning (Transmission Control Unit remapping), you’ll experience:
Increased power and torque by relaxing gearbox torque limiters.
Lightning-fast gear shifts and smoother transitions between gears.
Faster response times to Tiptronic or paddle shift inputs (for vehicles equipped with them).
mproved low-speed and off-the-line performance through earlier torque converter locking.
Increased fuel efficiency in some transmissions due to reduced drivetrain power loss.
In fact, they do—but for different reasons. Manufacturers build gearboxes in large volumes to save on production costs, and they use software to adjust the gearbox behavior across various models. Take the DSG gearbox used by VW/Audi, for example: although the physical hardware remains the same, the shift speed and performance are significantly enhanced in the higher-performance S and RS models compared to standard A models. Gearbox TCU remapping allows us to unlock that hidden potential in your vehicle.
Will Gearbox Remapping Affect Fuel Consumption?
Not at all—actually, it improves it. By enabling faster gear shifts and earlier transmission locking, gearbox tuning makes your transmission more efficient. More of your engine’s power is transferred to the wheels earlier in the rev range, meaning the engine is driving the wheels more of the time. These efficiency gains often result in reduced fuel consumption, making your vehicle both more responsive and more economical.
How Can I Get My Gearbox Remapped?
Our gearbox remapping services are available by appointment at our workshop in Headcorn, Kent (TN27 9PB). Additionally, we offer gearbox tuning through our nationwide network of approved installers, ensuring you get the best service no matter your location.
Why Choose Gearbox Tuning?
Whether you want quicker gear shifts, better throttle response, or simply improved fuel efficiency, gearbox remapping is a key upgrade for any automatic transmission vehicle. The process involves recalibrating your vehicle’s TCU to optimize how the gearbox responds to inputs, resulting in a smoother and more dynamic driving experience.
