This service applies to vehicles equipped with a Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT), commonly found in many modern vehicles such as Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, Ford, and others. These transmissions often use a dry dual-clutch system that wears over time as the clutch discs engage and disengage during driving. When the clutch begins to wear out, drivers may notice jerking when starting from a stop, vibration, delayed gear engagement, or transmission fault codes. Replacing a dual-clutch assembly requires removal of the transmission and precise installation of the new clutch pack using specialized tools and procedures. After installation, many vehicles require electronic clutch adaptation and calibration using professional diagnostic equipment. Because the design of dual-clutch transmissions varies between manufacturers and models, the labor time and cost can differ significantly. The final price is determined after vehicle inspection or calculated according to the service program based on the specific engine and transmission configuration.
