dsg clutch slip?
« on: June 29, 2011, 09:47:00 am »
my DSG doesn't seem to change gears as smoothly as it once did when im higher in the rev range booting it.

i don't know what a clutch slipping feels like so has anyone had dsg clutch slip?

I think you would hear it slip, as you hear a manual clutch slip. It's kinda rev related.

Is it random or does it occur continually?

Is your DSG box of tricks due for a service?

Maybe it just needs a reset

If the clutch was slipping then you would see and hear the revs rise but you wouldnt be going any faster..
