DSG Introduction
In simple terms, the DSG gearbox could be compared with two separate manual gearboxes contained within one transmission housing. In here a dual-clutch setup (simply two independent clutches) is electronically-hydraulic controlled for fully automatic clutch and shifting operation. By using two different clutches a DSG transmission can achieve faster shifting times compared to a conventional automatic transmission and eliminates the need of a torque converter.
Audi uses for the same DSG gearboxes, the name S-tronic. In 2009 Audi introduced their own developed 7-speed DSG (S-tronic) gearbox. This S-tronic, called DL501, is developed for longitudinally placed engines and can therefore be used in certain larger Audi models.
