GEARBOX TCU TUNING
Unlock a whole new part of your vehicle with transmission tuning, enabling faster gear changes, increased torque and seamlessly smooth gear changes.
Gearbox Tuning (TCU)
TCU refers to the Transmission Control Unit, a specialized electronic device or module responsible for controlling and regulating the functions of an automatic transmission in a vehicle. By receiving inputs from a variety of sensors, the TCU utilizes this information to make informed decisions concerning gear shifts, torque converter lock-up, and other transmission operations. The TCU plays a vital role in enhancing the performance, efficiency, and overall operation of the transmission system.
Faster Gear Shifts
By carefully recalibrating the TCU, we’re able to upgrade your transmission to unlock lightening fast gear shifts and smoother transitions. Enhance your driving experience whether that be for fast road or track use.
Optimized Shift Points
TCU (Transmission Control Unit) remapping optimizes the vehicles shift points to ensure its working correctly with a tuned ECU. These shift points are aligned with your new engine power band resulting in maximized performance and efficiency across all driving conditions.
Raised Clamping Pressure
Elevate your clutch performance and power transfer with heightened clamping pressure through our advanced TCU Tuning. Enjoy improved grip and reduced slippage, resulting in enhanced acceleration and overall drivetrain efficiency. This feature is an absolute necessary for vehicles pushing big BHP & NM figures.
Popular Gearbox Variants
Gearboxes from various manufacturers are often tuned for optimal performance. Here are the most notable examples.
VAG Applications (DQ200, DQ250, DQ381, DQ500): The DQ gearboxes, utilized in Volkswagen, Audi, and other VAG group vehicles, are dual-clutch transmissions. TCU Tuning for DQ gearboxes typically concentrates on enhancing shift times, responsiveness, and the customization of shift points to elevate the overall driving experience.
ZF8 Gearboxes: The ZF8 is an eight-speed automatic transmission found in various vehicles from manufacturers like Audi, BMW, Jaguar, and Land Rover. Our TCU tuning for ZF8 gearboxes, offers features such as quicker shift times, adjustable shift points, launch control, and improved gear holding capabilities. Other BMW gearboxes include ZF6.
BMW DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission): BMW’s DCT is a dual-clutch transmission found in high-performance M-series vehicles. TCU Tuning for BMW DCT gearboxes often results in faster gear shifts, rev-matching during downshifts, and improved launch control functionality.
Mercedes-Benz 7G-Tronic: The 7G-Tronic is a seven-speed automatic transmission featured in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. TCU Tuning for the 7G-Tronic gearbox focuses on optimizing shift patterns, improving shift smoothness, and enhancing overall performance.
Porsche PDK: The Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is a dual-clutch transmission used in Porsche sports cars. TCU Tuning for PDK gearboxes aims to enhance shift speed, responsiveness, and the customization of shift modes for both track-focused performance and daily driving comfort.
Its important to remember that TCU Tuning options may vary based on the specific vehicle and transmission model as well as TCU software variants.
