Gearbox Remapping in Rotherham

What is gearbox remapping?

Gearbox tuning is a similar process to engine tuning but instead of making changes in the ECU your making changes in the TCU for better performance and drive-ability by changing the limits within the TCU to change the gearbox characteristics.


With a gearbox update the software is not modified. However the calibration is updated to the latest version available from the dealership. This is made possible via specialist equipment and also via some tuning tools.


Automatic gearboxes can be found across most makes and models. Modern vehicles have a Transmission Control Module (TCU). This is where the data is stored which we edit, it communicates with the Engine Control Unit (ECU) using sensors and data to calculate when to change gears for the best performance and shift quality.

What to expect from our gearbox tuning:

  • Faster shift speeds
  • Smoother gear shifts
  • Increased clutch clamping force
  • Torque limits raised
  • RPM limit raised
  • Better shift pattern
  • Launch control (Not always available)
  • Overall better responding gearbox
  • Usually better MPG
  • Custom written calibrations


Gearbox remapping is available on DSG, DCT, CVT and AMT gearboxes.

Stage 1

Stage 1 files are made to enhance mileage and comfort. Shiftpoints are adapted to make optimal use of your engines torque and keep revs low and steady all the time. Gearbox Torque Limiters are removed to open the way for proper operation when paired with tuned engines.

Stage 2

Stage 2 files focus on the sporty aspects, without compromising comfort. Shiftpoints and Clutch- Pressures are adapted to speed up shifting and reduce reaction times.

Stage 3

Stage 3 Maps are made for everyone having fun driving fast and going to race-tracks. While the standard D-Mode mostly retains factory smoothness the Sport and Manual modes are optimised for the fastest shifts possible. Eventually features like Launch Control and “True Manual Mode” are added.
