Transmission general data

The 7DCL750 7-speed dual-clutch transmission was designed by Getrag for transaxle and mid-engine positioning in sports vehicles with RWD or AWD.

The 7DCL750 has an optimal installation length, which became possible thanks to a 4-shaft structure. The ratio of 1-st gear, 7-th gear and final drive can be defined and adopted to the respective usage. This transmission also may have a mechanically or electronically-operated differential locking device. The dry-sump lubrication system helps to enhance the level of efficiency and fuel consumption. In addition, this system also helps to keep to minimum windage losses

Typical problems:

Mechanical friction suspension from hot ATF clogs valves of the valve body and solenoids, then it appears on friction surfaces and contributes to wear, vibrations and sticking of valves, especially when the friction layer is worn down to the glue basis. It leads to the chain reaction of metal wear and further contamination of ATF. Thus, DSG transmissions are equipped with outside filters of high capacity. Getrag engineers recommend changing this filter more often, especially if the transmission is old.
