Getrag gearboxes equipped with Temic MPS6 electronics are six-speed dry double-clutch transmissions installed in many small and medium-sized transverse-engined vehicles branded Chrysler, Dodge, Ford and Volvo.
In this configuration, for both front- and all-wheel drive cars, it reduces fuel consumption by up to 20 per cent compared to a conventional torque converter automatic transmission.
The choice of installing such a gearbox, which is light and compact and extremely versatile (it can be installed on diesel, petrol and hybrid engines), has meant an overall reduction in mass with a maximum torque management of less than 280nm.
Working on this transmission is therefore a surgical tuning job to increase speed and fluidity of shifting, taking particular care to increase the maximum torque limit values.
