Gearbox & Transmission Tuning

Optimise shift points and torque limits for smoother, faster gear changes — all done at your home or workplace by our mobile technician.

Overview

Factory gearbox calibrations are designed to suit the widest possible range of drivers and conditions. This often means conservative shift points, slow torque converter lock-up, and lower torque limits than the transmission can safely handle — especially after an engine remap increases the available torque.

Gearbox tuning recalibrates the Transmission Control Unit (TCU) to match the engine's remapped output. This means quicker, smoother shifts, optimised shift points, raised torque limits, and improved torque converter behaviour on automatic and DSG gearboxes.

Our mobile technician carries out the gearbox tune at your home or workplace, typically in the same visit as an engine remap. The result is a drivetrain that works as a cohesive unit, delivering power more effectively to the wheels.

Benefits

Faster Gear Changes

Quicker shift times and reduced hesitation for a more responsive driving experience.

Raised Torque Limits

Allow the gearbox to handle the extra torque from an engine remap safely and effectively.

Smoother Shifts

Optimised shift points and torque converter behaviour eliminate jerky changes.

Complete Drivetrain Harmony

Engine and gearbox working together as a cohesive unit for maximum performance and drivability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which gearboxes can be tuned?
Most modern automatic, DSG, DCT, and CVT gearboxes can be tuned. Manual gearboxes do not have a TCU and therefore don't require tuning, though clutch upgrades may be recommended after an engine remap.
Do I need a gearbox tune after an engine remap?
It's recommended for automatic and DSG vehicles, especially if the engine remap significantly increases torque. The gearbox tune raises torque limits and optimises shift behaviour to match the engine's new output.
Can this be done at my home?
Yes. Our mobile technician carries out gearbox tuning at your home or workplace, usually in the same visit as an engine remap.
Is gearbox tuning reversible?
Yes. Like engine remapping, gearbox tuning is a software modification that can be fully reversed at any time.
