Dual Clutch Transmission Repairs at Wavertree Automatics in Croydon

Wavertree Automatics provide a comprehensive range of repairs for dual clutch transmissions including DSG / S-tronic (Volkswagen Group), DCT (BMW & Mercedes), PDK (Posrche), powershift (Ford) & DDCT (Fiat & Alfa Romeo) at our workshop in Croydon.

A dual-clutch transmission combines features of both automatic and manual gearboxes. Here at Wavertree Automatics, we have decades of combined experience working on these transmissions. Here are some of the repairs unique to DCT that we commonly deal with at our Croydon workshop:

Mechatronic unit replacement or repair
This is the brain of the DCT – it’s part control unit, part hydraulic system. Common failures cause harsh shifting, loss of gear selection, or no drive at all.

Dual-clutch pack replacement
Unlike a single clutch, DCTs use two clutches – one for odd gears and one for even. As you would expect, these clutches wear over time, leading to jerking, slipping, or noisy engagement.

Input shaft bearing issues
These can become noisy or rough, especially in dry-clutch systems, leading to vibrations and poor drive quality.

Software updates and reprogramming
DCT gearboxes often need software updates to fix known shifting problems or recalibrate after repairs. At Wavertree Automatics, we have all the digital tools and relevant security clearance required to carry out software updates or reprogramming.

Gear selector sensor repairs
Faulty sensors can cause incorrect gear readings or lock the car in one gear.

These repairs should only be entrusted to a garage that has the appropriate diagnostic equipment and knowledge, such as Wavertree Automatics. With years of experience, a reputation across Croydon, Surrey and Kent for honesty, dependability and quality you can trust our team to resolve any DCT transmission problems with your vehicle.

Affiliated with the Motor Ombudsman and trained to the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) standards, our team have the experience to work on most vehicle gearboxes / transmissions. We are also pleased to offer our customers the option of interest-free payments over 4 months.
