    I have a 7 speed DSG Octavia and a 6 speed DSG Skoda Laura. The transmission has been changed 3 times in the combined usage of 1 lakh km between the 2 cars. Each time the cost of replacement is greater than 1.5 Lakh rupees. Your analysis of this problem is perfect. The cost of spare parts in VW & Skoda is ridiculously high. I think they are not serious about staying in India just like GM & Ford.

The company quotes 45K for each repair. The lens on the headlight becomes opaque in 5 years and each headlight costs 25K to replace. I have replaced 4 already. Like I said, the VW / Skoda group have a flawed spare parts pricing policy over and above their quality issues.

    I use Maruti Celerio AMT.
    It never let me down. I took this car from Kolkata to Darjeeling, Pelling, Dooars, Ladhakh, Nainital, Munsiary and many other places.
    Never faced any issue.
    I drove more than thousand kilometres in 18 hrs with it, still no issue. On road very few cars overtake me, and many a time I kind of engaged in races and beat cars like Kia Seltos and i20. What I'm trying to say is that it responds pretty well.
    People told me that you can't take to hills but I took it everywhere. While other cars got stuck in Ladakh and Uttarakhand, it never did.
    It also gives me a millage of 24-25 km if I drive it at a constant speed of 70km/hr .
    Go for AMT.

      @@dibyanjannayak_9666 yes, from my personal experience, I don’t put the gearbox in Drive mode in bumper to bumper to bumper traffic. I put it in manual and 1st gear. That will make sure that the car doesn’t keep upshifting and downshifting between 1 and 2 constantly that saves a lot of clutch wear. When parking, don’t just hold the car in Park, also use the handbrake that way there is less stress on the clutch plates. You don’t have to put the car in park ever time you stop in traffic, just holding the brake and leaving it in drive is ok, too. It’s little things like that, which will prolong the life of the gearbox and also regular servicing will help. You need to think more to maintain a DSG compared to torque converter or manual but with little precautions, it’s the best gearbox you’ll ever experience, there is a reason why Porsches, Ferraris, Bugattis use DSG. It’s just amazing.

    Great video ! torque converters are also used in CVT gear boxes.The torque converter is configured with an ATF and along with working like a clutch, is an important vehicle part for increasing torque and transferring powerful kinetic force when moving off. I think you are refereing to traditional automatic transmissions which are the expensive ones but are best in my experience. The main parts of an automatic transmission are the torque converter, planetary gearset, hydraulic controls, and the transmission fluid.

    After driving manual cars for last so many years, I am shifting to Automatic cars. After viewing many videos on different channels, I could realize that Torque Converter transmission is most dependable and in USA, more than 95 % cars use Torque Converter. I have booked Fronx Alpha automatic, which use Torque Converter. I have taken test ride of XL-6 (Torque Converter), Dzire AGS, Baleno AGS, Venue N line DCT, I- 20 N Line DCT and Fronx (Torque Converter). All the cars were driven with 4 passengers and AC. I could realize the difference between AGS (AMT), DCT and Torque Converter. XL-6 and Fronx gave very decent experience and very good average. Hyundai cars gave very poor average. Although I-20 was a good car but it's dated looks and DCT based transmission prompted me to look for a modern car with better transmission. That is why i chose Fronx. I should get my Fronx by 6th July.

    6:22 I tend to disagree, when you say a "torque converter is a transmission", it can be said as a part of transmission rather than a transmission itself. The reason being, torque converters allow the engine to spin independently of the transmission (planetary gear box) or the drive shaft (for e.g., Koenigsegg Regera, which runs without a transmission where the engine is connected to the drive shaft via a torque converter clutch). One can draw parallels with the clutch in the manual transmission cars.
    So I would prefer to call Torque Converters as a part of transmission, rather than a transmission.

    It is always this way, more convenience to user, more complicated the system and vice versa. One thing for sure is that no system is 100% fit for free use or rough and tough. Although for business reasons they dont mention this on the car brochure, but it is clear in the owner's manual. We must read them and follow them to expect better results

    I have a JEEP compass 2021 model with DCT turbo petrol 1.4 litre automatic.
    While the gear shifts and supper smooth , what I have understood is DCT can give you a mileage beyond a manual if driven properly on highway open stretch for long distance .
    Yea DCT,s do get heated up if you abuse them in heavy traffic .
    But what I have understood, if you drive it cautiously they don’t need any change to clutch / gearbox for lifetime .

    Had a question related to use of Paddle shifters to improve DSG Reliability. If anyone knows the answer please let me know.
    In bumper to bumper traffic, this transmission causes problems because the computer has to dance between race and break.
    Basically this happens because it doesn't know what time is the best to shift, right? and when it's not the time to shift.
    What is we used Paddle Shifters in traffic? This time you would exactly know when to shift and when not to shift. So, this won't cause unnecessary load on the transmission as it won't have to continuous dance between upshifting and downshifting.
    Can using Paddle Shifters all the time improve the reliability of the DSG Gearbox? (Virtus GT DSG)

Technology has improved a lot probably the information is not available to all of us. Such negative propaganda may not be appropriate. I drove Honda City manual for 15 years, but VW DSG is gem at least compare to my Honda City. It was horrible to drive back honda city to home in the evening in Hyderabad old city traffic. Now my exhaustion is almost 25%. When I see my adjacent drivers getting frustrated in evening drive, I pat myself for the decision. Yes there are problem with AC and Apple car play connectivity, but I enjoy the ORR cruise with 21-22 kmpl drive. Driving Volkswagen is so easy, comfortable and smooth such small lags are irrelevant. Volkswagen DSG is gem for Drivers. This is true that you cannot get 24 carrot gold at a 18 carrot price.

    A lot depends on how you drive an automatic, it is essential that you move to neutral as soon as you stop but many people keep operating it in drive mode. DSGs get overheated due to these driving habits as well as driving aggressively in high traffic areas. Be gentle with accelerator and most issues with automatics are resolved. I have driven many automatics in West and India, this is my experience.

But if you do, switch to N whenever the car is still. Even with my torque convertor AT, i switch to N on traffic lights or whenever the car is still for more than a few seconds. It protects the internal clutch of AT transmission. Aggressive driving and too much braking will over-engage the transmission so best to drive with a light foot. Also if you drive for long hours, try to take a break after every few hours. These things should be more than enough

He still kept driving it for 13 years because it was so good to drive. We sold it last month, along with our beater car, a Kwid, to buy a new Renault Kiger. The AMT is clearly a downgrade. But I'm thinking of getting a used Polo with the same 1.6L engine and manual transmission. Only it is so hard to find one as they are rare and enthusiasts are snatching them up as soon as they appear in the used car market.

    4. If you press hard on the accelerator
    5. If the gearbox or it's clutch has gone bad
