How does a Direct Shift Gearbox work?
From the driver’s seat, a DSG gearbox is very much like an automatic. The controls are almost identical, and they change gears smoothly.
A DSG automates two separate ‘manual’ gearboxes and clutches that are contained within one housing and can achieve faster shift times.
It offers the ease of driving that you get from a conventional automatic (as there is only a brake and accelerator pedal) and the control of a manual transmission.
However, if you drive a vehicle that is fitted with DSG transmission, it’s vitally important to maintain it and use the correct fluids to keep everything in good condition. And that’s where our DSG and automatic gearbox service comes in.
Efficiency Meets Performance
Benefits of DSG and Automatic Gearbox Servicing
Old oil can damage the gearbox, cause clutches to burn out, and lead to poor gear selection or transmission failure. During a DSG service, our technicians check for leaks, drain old oil, replace the filter, and top up with fresh DSG oil.
Changing your DSG oil and filters can:
- Save on costly repairs
- Improve vehicle performance
- Keep your warranty intact
Most garages only remove 40% of the oil, leaving dirty oil behind. At CJ Auto Service, we use the Brain Bee machine, which thoroughly flushes and cleans the gearbox, adding 10 liters of fresh oil and a protective treatment.

As we’ve mentioned, you need to have your gearbox looked at every 40,000 miles – if you leave it any longer you run the risk of your clutch burning out, which can lead to poor gear selection, loss of power and transmission failure.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues currently, you’re likely overdue an oil change.
