VVWG Quick Tip #003

This video goes over the manual shift modes on a Volkswagen automatic or DSG transmission.

Great video! I was one of those people with no idea of how the paddle shifters work. Thanks so much for your video!

I just bought a 2013 se with 81, 000 miles & found out today about the sport mode & it is surprisingly very quick in that mode.

I like how the gear knob is like a golf ball. I see what they did there :)

[MrKodsine]

Just what I was looking for :) simple and informative videos- my favorite 👍 thanks

Correction: There is a clutch on the DSG. Two clutches in fact. No clutch pedal. It's not so much an automatic but has electronically actuated clutches though it will shift for you in non-manual modes. The other VW transmissions aren't like the DSG.

Wait... using both hands on the steering wheel is bad? Looks like we've been taught all wrong.

1:40 oh nice, i can shift in a VW E-up! =P

[kenblack]

Thank you very much for the tip
Couldn't figure out how to use the tiptronic feature

[dopiaza]

One other feature is launch control when you floor the accelerator and brake then let the brake off...

[Em-wtf]

LOL!! I just got a 2008 VW Jetta Wolfsburg Edition and have no idea what the D+ or - means, there was no manual!

[JackVinall]

people asking what does the d, s and r letter mean, my hope for humanity has been lost.

I have yet to drive in DSG mode. I keep waiting for someone to explain when to shift up or down but apparently it's whenever you feel like it and so I remain in drive because I feel something is missing. Like what happens if I'm in manual and I don't shift up when pressing on the gas pedal. In a regular manual I know when to shift base on the feel of the engine.

How come your rpm's dont go up when you put it in s mode. Mine rises to 1200rpm

[abellegaz]

In the S "sport mode" can you upshifht and downshift your self or it is fully automatic?

One quick question? So I’m pretty familiar already with the dsg trans and drove a Tiguan before my current 13’ Jetta with muffler delete but IM wondering, are you sure it’s safe to keep alternating between standard drive mode (D) and the manual gearbox? Like say your driving and you floor it on the gearbox then switch back to drive will still moving does that mess up the trans quicker. I only ask because on my old tig I would play around a little too much with the manual considering it was a tsi (really fun!) but yea I just worry a lot about my Jetta now. Any answers are much appreciated!

I've seen another video where you can pull back/down to toggle D/S. Is that only newer ones? Or...
