Gearbox and Clutch Protection Limits

🧠 Part of the TuningBot ECU Knowledge Base — in-depth documentation on ECU logic, maps, emissions systems and safe calibration methods.

The transmission and clutch have torque limits. The engine ECU limits torque based on transmission requests.

Gear-Based Limits

  • Lower gears — more stress, lower limits
  • Higher gears — less multiplication, higher limits

DSG/DCT Considerations

  • Clutch temperature monitoring
  • Launch control stresses clutches
  • Upgraded clutches for Stage 2+
