DSG Clutch Pack Replacement

Worn clutch packs are one of the most common causes of slipping, shuddering and harsh gear changes in DSG gearboxes. We replace wet and dry clutch packs across the Volkswagen Group range.

What Clutch Pack Replacement Involves

DSG gearboxes use either wet or dry clutch packs depending on the model, and both wear over time as they engage and disengage thousands of times. Once worn, clutch packs cause noticeable performance issues that get progressively worse.

We strip down the gearbox, inspect the clutch packs and surrounding components, and replace them with new parts before recalibrating the gearbox and carrying out a full road test.
