How to change the oil in the DSG box. How to change the oil in the DSG box when changing the oil in DSG 7

Good when the car is new and do not need to think about where and when to serve your iron horse. Another thing is when you bought a used car from which the guarantee ended, it is clear that it makes sense to continue servicing the car from an official dealer. In today's article, we will talk in detail how to independently change the oil in the DSG-7 box in the Volkswagen Passat CC (the difference between the replacement and the drasting version is practically no, at least the process itself is completely similar). Consider the choice of oil, which Oil recommends filling the official dealer and which oil is best suited as an analog, so that you can save a little.

The owners of the BU Voltsvagen Passsat MOP 1.8 with DSG-7 often the question arises if they need to change the oil in the box or not? Disputes arise due to the fact that DSG-7 uses dry clutch, hence many mistakenly think that the oil in the box is completely lacking and therefore there is nothing to change there. Hurry up to dispel this myth.

How many oil in the DSG-7 DQ 200 box?

The second most popular with the question that logically follows from the first - how much oil needs to replace? After studying a huge number of forums, where the owners share their experiences, we came to a figure of 2.1 liters. For comparison, the oil change in the DSG-6 is 6 liters, it is easy to remember the number of exactly the number of transmissions.

What oil to fill?

It is best to pour the plant recommended by the manufacturer G 052 512 A2 transmission oil, it is sold in liter bottles for the price
From 900 to 1,300 rubles, depending on the region. This product is suitable for mechanical and robotic transmissions (DQ-7 DQ 200) installed on Audi, Skoda, Seat and Volkswagen.

Alternatively, some use:

FEBI 21829 Price from 500 rubles per 1 liter;
SWAG 10921829 Price from 500 rubles per 1 liter;
VAG GCN052512Z2 Price from 900 rubles per 1 liter.

Step-by-step instructions for independently replacing oil

Before letting out to describe actions, in addition to oil you will need a drain plug. Its cost is 170 rubles. From the tools you will need a hexagon on "10", a syringe with a flexible hose and actually the container where the old oil will merge. This process should be held on a heated transmission. So proceed to:

remove plastic protection;
unscrew the CPP cork;
drain the oil;
tighten the cork;
put plastic protection;
remove the cap from the Sapuna;
insert the tube into the hole;
pour oil (important! Pour oils needed exactly as much as the old one has turned out, because the box is not equipped with a diploma of calculations will have to be carried out independently);
we put a sapuna cap in place.

Here in principle and the whole process that should not cause special difficulties and long time. By the way,

DSG gearboxes began to actively apply on VAG Group cars a few years ago. Today, the secondary market presents a significant number of machines with the transmission of this type.

The tradition is such that buyers of used cars in Russia prefer to replace service fluids immediately after purchasing a vehicle. This is done for confidence that high-quality lubricants that meet the requirements of the manufacturer will be flooded.

The first aggregates that are subject to maintenance is included. If, on the features of the maintenance of automatic transmissions of the hydrotransformer type, everything is known for a long time, then in the case of recently appeared on the secondary market with machines with DSG boxes, information fragmentary and contradictory.

What is DSG?

To begin with, it is worth dealing with the peculiarities of this transmission. This abbreviation is decrypted from German as a gearbox with two clutches. In essence, it is mechanics, which has an automated character.

This design allows you to achieve a quick triggering of the switching mechanism, due to the fact that one clutch disc operates with even speeds, and the other with odd. Transmission performs operations preceding the transition between transmissions in advance.

Such structures appear on cars from other manufacturers. However, when they talk about DSG, it should be understood that we are talking about transmissions, under different names of Skoda, Seat, Audi and Volkswagen installed on products.

Experts argue that the PPC of such a design will be supplied to the usual hydrotransformer transmissions, since they provide faster work. Other benefits are fuel efficiency and less power loss when transferring torque to drive wheels, as well as the relative compactness of the node.

What is the difference between DSG7?

The VAG concern cars are installed DSG transmissions of two main types. Some of them have wet clutch, and others dry. The latter and are called DSG7. Their design does not imply the presence of a system of hydraulic cooling of the clutch. For this reason, such a transmission badly tolerates work in conditions of traffic jams and congestion: the absence of a false flow of air often leads to overheating and failure.

A distinctive feature of this model is the limitation of the torque of used motors. They are equipped with concern cars, whose maximum thrust is within 250 nm.

How to easily and quickly update lubricating fluid in gearbox?

Do I need to change oil in DSG?

This question is not idle, since the manufacturer's policy and features of the operation of this transmission can lead to contradictory conclusions. On the one hand, the manufacturer claims that the PPC is not subject to service, so oil is not replaced in it. On the other hand, there are heavy climatic and road conditions of Russia, which significantly affect the state of lubricating fluid.

There is also the third point: the experienced owners of cars with DSG7 argue that the transmission rarely has a resource exceeding 100 thousand km, therefore oil can be changed during repairs.
Considering the fact that the buyer is unlikely to acquire a car fault car (this can be revealed at a test drive, during which characteristic twitching will be observed), it makes sense to relieve its work. The oil in the unit undergoing loads will obviously be worse than the new one. The fluid change will extend the life to many items.

Through what an interval to replace the oil DSG7?

Considering the fact that the manufacturer considers this transmission of the maintenance-free, official recommendations on the run or period, after which the new lubricant will be required, are absent. In such a situation, it is better to turn to the experience and advice of owners of cars with DSG.

Searching for information on the forums of owners of these machines, you can find different points of view. Someone indicates the lack of need for replacement, since dry-type clutch is applied in the design, others insist on the oil update almost in parallel with the motor. However, most experienced users indicate the need to serve the PPC every 30 or 40 thousand km of mileage.

How best to change: independently or on the bus station?

In the conditions of the need to save a family budget, this question is becoming increasingly relevant for car enthusiasts. Of course, not everyone has appropriate basic skills, a garage or the ability to independently use the lift. Therefore, the dilemma exists only in these cases.

There is no universal recipe and each owner of the car must make an independent decision. Any option has its advantages and disadvantages, each of which can be raised by the determining value if necessary, replace the oil. Below are the main arguments for and against.

Replacement of oil per hundred

To the positive sides of the oil replacement in the car service, the speed of the procedure and the lack of need to work independently. And the presence of the lift will allow you to inspect the machine for other faults in a good light.

However, there are a number of flaws. If we are talking about the center of servicing the official dealer, then the cost of the work will seriously hit the pocket of the owner of such a car. Similar problems are possible in unauthorized services: unscrupulous employees can tell a large number of stories about the "incredible technical complexity" of DSG and the complexity of the operations carried out.

Independent oil change

This method is unlikely to suit for representatives of the fine sex, which owns a car with DSG7, since the work will have to use physical efforts. However, for many men who have the opportunity to take advantage of the garage, such work will even be pleasure.

The main advantage is that it will have to pay exclusively for a new lubricant fluid. This will save a significant amount on service costs, because the replacement will be made with your own hands. Another advantage will be confidence in the quality of the work done: the owner will know exactly that all the removable elements stand again in their places.

Plus, with self-maintenance of DSG, in comparison with the automatic box, there is no need to apply special equipment for pumping the contents of the transmission.
The disadvantages, in the first place, it is necessary to carry out a replacement operation in dirty conditions. For this reason, it is worth choosing clothes, which is not sorry to get dirty.
These actions will be difficult to carry out users who do not have basic knowledge about the device of automobile units. Inexperienced owner risks merge oil from the engine.

Replacing oil in DSG7 do it yourself

Deciding on an independent change of oil, the owner of the car should find a suitable place. If he does not have a garage with a service poison, you can ask friends or acquaintances to provide your room for work.

Another better option will be able to use the lift. Currently, there are car services that rent their premises and equipment in short-term use for car repair.

In any case, the conditions will be needed, allowing to work comfortably and freely under the machine, so the usual overpass is suitable. If this question is resolved, it will be possible to replace the oil without any problems.

Tools that need when working

A pleasant moment is that during the change of fluid will not need special tools manufactured by the manufacturer to maintain their technology. The following will be required:

A set of keys with various sizes and leading principles;
Fluid fill funnel;
The container in which the oil will merge;
The syringe with the hose at the end to collect oil residues in the checkpoint (in the case of work on the lift or the elake);
Jack (in the case when the oil changes in the garage);
The key with the indicator of the used effort (it is desirable, but not required);
Internal hex key on 10 for unscrewing the drain plug of the checkpoint;
2 liters of oil;
Ribs for wiping surfaces from lubrication;
Gloves;
Drain plug for replacement.

What kind of oil is worth pouring?

Initially, a synthetic lubricating liquid was poured into the DSG7 box. However, due to the identified deficiencies in its use, the manufacturer carried out a reviewed campaign. During it, a replacement for mineral fluid was made, since the synthetics corrupted the gasket and got inside the control unit of the PPC (mechatronics). This led to the destruction of the latter.

As a result, inside all transmissions poured mineral oil of the same composition as in mechatronics. Currently, the manufacturer recommends pouring a service fluid that meets the standard 052 529 A2. It is easiest to purchase it from the dealer, but you can choose analogs offered by oil companies.

How to prepare a car to work?

Before starting the replacement, it is important to warm up to transmissia well. To do this, it is better to make a preliminary trip, during which the oil inside will become warm. In such a state, the fluid becomes more fluid and will be much easier and faster to flush from the shafts and gears located inside during the drain.

If in the summer period you can do without a long procedure for preheating, then in winter it will be difficult to drain the lubricant from the PPC machine, stood on the frost even less than an hour. You can speed up the heating by frequent starts and stops such a mode loads the transmission of this type most and fast.

Drain of old liquid

The replacement starts with merging the old lubricant. It will consist of the following steps:

At the time of unscrewing the plugs should be neat, because the liquid may fall past the tank. At the same time, the old tube becomes unusual, which does not require it during the flow of lubrication. New should be twisted to an effort 30 Hm. In the absence of a key that measures this parameter, there is a risk of breaking the thread, so it should not be tightened until it stops.

Filling a new lubricant

In order to get to the checkpoint, you will have to remove the interfering elements under the hood. Depending on the car model, it can be a battery, its playground, as well as the air filter housing. Spaces should be enough for further work.

Pour oil by 2 ways:

Through the plastic black sapun on the plastic cover of the mechanism of the gearbox lock;

After removing the specified lid.

The first method requires greater accuracy, and the second is associated with the commission of additional operations.

Through the funnel it is necessary to pour 1.9 liters of fresh lubrication. After that, you need to perform all actions in the reverse order.

Replacing fluid in the control unit

According to statistics, the mechatronics is the most vulnerable DSG element. Many users are interested in the need to replace lubricant and in it. Unfortunately, this element is separately located inside the unit, so there is no possibility of its regular maintenance without removing the checkpoint. For this reason, the replacement occurs only during its repair.

How not to kill PPC?

Despite the fact that the PPC of this type has become a step forward, their independent basic service is now easier than in ordinary automata. With the replacement of lubricant in dry DSG, the owner will cope with ordinary skills.

And a little about the secrets of the author

My life is not only connected with the car, namely repair and maintenance. But also I have a hobby like all men. My hobby is fishing.

I started a personal blog in which I share my experience. Many things try, various methods and methods for increasing the catch. If interested, you can read. Nothing superfluous, only my personal experience.

ATTENTION, only today!

To replace oil in the DSG 7, we will need only a container to test liters by 5-6, a standard set of tools, a filling syringe and a tube with a diameter of 7-8 mm. What is nice that during the replacement we will not have to pump anything, nothing to squeeze, work is practically the same as with the usual manual transmission except for several nuances.

And yet, when replacing, we will not remove the starter nor the battery, nor the platform under the battery. The only thing that needs to be dismantled is the engine protection. But the child will cope with it. If everything is ready, we can start a replacement:

After removal of protection, we carefully clean the mechanical frame from dirt.
Hexagon on 5 turn the drain plug.
We substitute the mechanical to the mechatronic package (near the liter).
We drain all the liquid from the control unit.
Tighten the drain plug in place.
Now we clean the drain plug already on the gearbox.
Hexagon on 10 unscrew the cork, substituting the capacity of about two liters.
We rate until all the oil stalks from the checkpoint.
We measure the amount of fused oil, because no control opening is provided.
We spin the suspension plug of the gearbox oil.
Now pour oil into the mechanical control unit.
Remove the plastic sapun on the control unit from under the hood. It is located near the starter.
To do this, we use the key to 16. We substitute the key under the Sapun and how the lever we take it out of the hole.
We wear a hose with a diameter of 8 mm on a sapuna fitting, in the syringe fill the liter of oil G004 000 m2 and smooth movements of the piston pump the oil into the mechatronics.
If there is no refueling syringe, you can use a 150-cubic medical syringe or any other fixture. We put the Sapun to the place.
Now pour oil in the checkpoint. This we will do too through the hole of the Sapuna. To make it easier to get to it, we translate the control selector to Parking mode.
Hand remove the plastic sapun.
We wear the same 8-mm hose on the Sapuna fitting, refuel into the syringe exactly the same amount of oil as we jerked and pour it into the gearbox. After that, we put the Sapun to the place.

Thus, you can quickly change the oil in the DSG7 gearbox and the mechanical control unit on the Skoda Octavia A7. Successful all work and reliable gearboxes!

Looking at the table you can make some simple conclusions:
1. DSG with "dry" clutches, as a rule, are installed on less powerful engines, because Capably "digest" a smaller moment.
2. If you have a four-wheel drive, then you have "wet" clutch.
3. If you have a DSG and the motor "along", then you have Audi :-)
4. Apparently, the wellness of the legendary full drive Audi Quattro with the famous Torsen differential, comes to an end.
Question 002:
Q: How to find out which box is installed on my car?
A: Option 1: Connect to the diagnostic device to the car, go to block 02 - KP electronics and read identification data. The first three symbols of the box identifiers and mechatronics denote your box.
For instance: 0am 300049H - Seven-step DSG with "dry" clutches of type 0am. Or 02E 300051R - a six-speed DSG with "wet" clutches of type 02E, etc.
Option 2: View by the VIN-code of the car in the Etka spare parts directory.
Option 3: Send a VIN-code of the car to our address, we will check and you will send you the answer.

Question 003:
Q: What S-Tronic for Audi is different from DSG for Volkswagen / Skoda / Seat?
A:. With the exception of boxes 0B5, 0CK / 0CL and 0CJ that are installed only on Audi.

Question 004:
Q:What oil is filled into DSG?
A:For convenience, we formulated a response in the form of a table:

A type	Butter	Replacement interval (recommended by the manufacturer)
DSG7 0AM (DQ200)		All service life
DSG6 02E (DQ250)	Filling volumes: up to 6.9l - full refueling to 5.5l - oil change Filtering element: 02E 305 051 C	60 000

Question 005:
Q:What is mechatronics?
A:Mechatronics (Mechatronik, Mecchatron, Hylobal, Brain) - Electron-hydraulic control unit KP. Perhaps the most important, but at the same time the most unreliable knot throughout the transmission.

Question 006:
Q:What is the difference between mechatronics?
A:Each DSG type has its own type of mechatronics. Mechatronics from different types of DSG are not interchangeable. Moreover, for some types of DSG there are several generations of mechatronics, which also differ from each other. And for each type and generation of mechatronics, there are many versions of software designed for various engines and different gear ratios in KP. In some cases, the mechatronics of the same type can be reprogrammed (reflash) to install on different cars. Read more about the firmware you can read.

Question 007:
Q:What DSG is better / safer?
A:There is no unambiguous answer to this question. Each DSG has its advantages and disadvantages. And the duration of "life" of any DSG largely depends on the conditions of its operation, like:
- ambient temperature. All DSG does not like overheating, it usually concerns DSG with "dry" clutches in which the mechatronics has a separate oil circuit and no cooling;
- Movement mode. For those who spend several hours every day in traffic jams, the chances of coming to replace the mechatronics more than those who are mainly driving on the highway on long distances;
- Driving style. Fans of "give an angle" and "light on the traffic light", the probability of getting the replacement of clutch and differential, much higher than those who prefer a quiet ride.

Question 008:
Q: I have a DSG7 0am.Do I need to switch the selector to neutral when you stand on the traffic light or in a traffic jam?
A: No need.Unlike conventional mechanical KP, in DSG7 0am, the clutch is normally open. And it closes only when the mechatronics begins to push the squeezing rods. When you (or autochold) by pressing the brake hold the car in place, the clutch rods of mechatronics are removed and the clutch is open. Accordingly, no load on the CP or the clutch is not transmitted. In what position does the selector handle - it does not matter.

Question 009:
Q: Over time, jerks appeared when switching transmissions. Previously, the car drove normally, the switch was smooth, but recently There were jerks and shocks when switching transmissions. Is it possible to fix the reprogramming of the ECU of the box (software update)?
A: No, it is impossible. Software cannot with the time "spoil" and serve as the cause of the wrong operation of the CP. If the car previously traveled correctly, and then stopped, then the problem lies in the hardware, and not in the software.
Reprogramming of mechatronics can only be helped if the mechatronics changed and installed a block with incorrect software. You can read more about reprogramming.

Question 010:
Q:How to find out the software version in mechatronics?
Question 011:
Q: DSG7 shift knob is blocked in position P, how to unlock it in order to switchbox in neutral?
A: Brief instructions for unlocking the DSG7 0am selector.

Question 012:
Q: Does the oil change help in Mechatronics DSG7 0am (0CW) to remove "Pinkies" on gear shifts?
A: No, it will not help. Such malfunctions are eliminated by the repair of the hydraulic part of the mechatronics. In the initial stages, adaptation (basic installation) can help, but rather as an exception than the rule.

Question 014:
Q: After replacing the mechatronics DSG7 0am, in the event recorder hangs errors "06247 P1867 - data bus drive no messages from the electronics of the steering column - J527" and "06227 P1853 The data bus is an unreliable message from the ABS control unit". How to remove them?
A:You need to reset information about the installed components (steering switches, electric parking brake, etc.). To do this, you need to make a basic installation on the channel 69. After executing the basic error setting, go from the "constant" state to the "sporadically" state and can be removed.

When using VCDS (VAG-COM, Vasya-Diagnostic, etc.):
"02-KP electronics" -\u003e "Bases. Parameters - 04" -\u003e In the "Group" field, enter the value 69 -\u003e Press "Read".

When using POVAS-PC:
"Self-Diagnosis" -\u003e"02-electronics KP" -\u003e "006-basic installation"-\u003e In the "Group" field, enter a value of 69 -\u003e Press "Q".

When using POOdis:
"Self-Diagnosis" -\u003e"02-electronics KP" -\u003e"Basic Installation" -\u003eEnter the value of 69 -\u003e Press "Channel Select".

After the basic installation, you should clear the event registrar.

Question 015:
Q:Hoody DSG7 0am M DSG7 0CW - Almost the same transmissions (DQ200 family), is there any difference between mechatronics installed on them?
A:The main differences are physical and software changes in the electronic control board. In particular, 0CW fees are biting to the car immobilizer system. In more detail about the differences in Mechatronics 0am and 0CW, you can read.

The manufacturer himself declares that the DSG robot is characterized by high reliability and is a profitable solution compared to traditional hydromechanical automatic transmission or variamators. Anyway, it is important to understand that this box needs regular and high-quality maintenance, taking into account a number of features of its design.

Under such service it should be understood primarily to replace the oil in DSG, as well as DSG. Next, we will talk about when oil in the DSG needs to be changed, as the oil change is performed in the DSG box, as well as to pay attention to this procedure.

Read in this article

Replacing transmission oil in the DSG robot: when you need and why

So, the determination of the PPC is a manual box, as well as (by analogy with the MCPP). In other words, in contrast to the "classic" automata or variator, the hydrotransformer is absent.

At the same time, the clutch disks are two, thanks to which the transmission switches very quickly and smoothly. As a result, a high level of comfort and fuel efficiency is achieved, as well as an impressive overclocking dynamics, since there is practically no power breaking in the moments of switching, etc.

Manages the operation of the box and clutch, as well as (analog). In fact, the electronic unit sends signals to actuators, after which due to the redistribution of fluid flow (oil) in the mechatronics, the gear and control of other processes occurs.

It is quite obvious that the presence of such a device as a mechatronics means increased requirements for the quality and state of transmission oil. In other words, a timely oil change in the DSG box is needed.

Immediately note, according to the regulations, the oil change in the DSG-6, as well as often in DSG-7 every 60 thousand km is necessary. However, if the car is operated in difficult conditions (trailer towing, aggressive ride, maximum loads), replace the transmission oil before earlier (the interval is reduced by 20-30 or even 40%).

Please note the DSG-6 is and can exit about 200-250 thousand km. without repair. It is important to understand that the result of a late replacement of oil in a box simultaneously with a violation of the operational requirements for the PPC is the overwhelming majority of the DSG breakdowns.

Also, after replacing the oil, most owners note that after replacing, for example, in DSG-6, shocks are disappeared when switching, the box works smoothly without jerks. Next, we consider the oil replacement process in the DSG-6 with your own hands.

How to choose and change oil in DSG

So, in order to change the oil in DSG, it is necessary to select a special transmission fluid in advance or the oil in the DSG box, which is suitable for the units of this type. To replace the oil in the DSG box, for example, DQ-250, 6 liters of transmission oil will be required.

If we consider that such a gearbox with a "wet" clutch (clutch packages are immersed in the oil bath), oil in this case needs more. As for DSG-7 with the so-called "dry" clutch, a smaller amount of transmission fluid is required to such a box.

We also note that besides the fluid it is necessary to change the oil filter of the DSG box, as well as a special sealing ring of a drain plug. As a rule, when replacing original oils and transmission fluids with VW TL52182 tolerances are used. You can also select suitable analogs of third-party manufacturers.

The main thing is to use high quality products as well. If we talk about the replacement itself, you can use the services of specialized service stations, and do all manipulations yourself.

First of all, besides oil and a PPC filter, a garage with an observation pit or a lift, a set of tools, tanks for draining testing, rags;
Before you begin to replace the box, you need to warm up by passing by car about 10 km;
Next, the car is put on the pit or rises in the lift, if there is a removal of engine protection;
Then it will be necessary to remove the air intake along with the air filter, the battery with the casing and pallet;
The plastic cup is turned off, the filter is retrieved;
After you need to remove the cap of the Sapuna (located closer to the pala from the filter);
Now you can go down to the car and unscrew the drain plug, substitute the container where the development will be merged;
After unscrewing the plug into the hole, the hexagon key is inserted, which twisted the special insert. This allows you to drain the maximum amount of oil;
After seizing inserts, you need to wait until all the oil is in the container;
In parallel, it is necessary to impregnate the new DSG box filter with fresh butter. To do this, you can insert a filter into the case and shed it with oil;
After the oil completely merged from the checkpoint, the insert can be spinning, but it is not necessary to twist the drain plug if it is spinning, the oil will be inserted into the unit faster;
To avoid oil leaks, a container should be placed in the drain hole area.
Now it remains to insert a funnel in the Sapun gearbox (from above under the hood) and pour fresh oil. Pulling should be slow and gently, dosing portions.

We also add that it is possible to pour oil in other ways (for example, download the syringe through the drain hole), however, in practice, refilling through the Sapun is the fastest and efficient. Also, after about 4.5 liters of oil was flooded in the box, you need to spin the cap cap cover, put the cap cap, set the previously removed elements of the engine inlet system, connect the terminals per battery.

At the same time tighten and spin nothing yet. In parallel, the old drain plug of the gearbox is installed (we do not yet set a new one, and sealing rings are not changing). Next, the engine must be started by connecting it in parallel to the ECU through.

The main task, wait until the oil is warmed in the DSG to 40-48 degrees. After such heating, the engine is not necessary, while the old drain plug should be unscrewed. It is important that the oil is a little bit from the hole as a result of the vibrations of the conducted internal combustion.

Then you need to wait for a while until the surplus is flowing, that is, the required number will remain in the checkp) (the insert-plug-insulated insertion will allow you to learn more lubrication). Please note if, when you unscrew the cork, the oil immediately does not eat, this suggests that it is insufficiently insufficient and needs a fusion.

After the oil stops dripping, it will indicate the desired oil level in the checkpoint. In this case, you can tweak a new plug with a sealing ring, as well as jamming. Now you can proceed to the back assembly, tightening all the previously removed and unacted items. On this oil replacement can be considered completed.

That in the end

As can be seen, although the DSG box is not a "classic" machine and is more like a manual transmission, all the same, the replacement of oil in DSG should be made more often and performed regularly.

The reason is the presence of mechatronics and increased sensitivity to the transmission fluid in the checkpoint. The regulation of the manufacturer itself also indicates the need for replacement, that is, such a box can not be considered officially non-maintained.

It turns out that the owners of auto models with DSG-6 must take into account that the life of the transmission directly depends on the timely replacement in the transmission of oil and the CAT filter. It is also necessary to comply with certain rules of operation (avoid sharp starts, high loads, slip, trailer towing and other cars).

Finally, we note that the oil change in the DSG-6 or DSG-7 box in some cases allows to improve the quality of the gearbox itself, get rid of jerks when switching, the car is better accelerated, the transmission is less than noise during operation, it vibrates so much, etc. P.
