VW's DSG transmission is an engineering work of art.  Traditional type gears with mechanically controlled clutch packs, resulting in nearly instant, unoticable shifts.  It has also proven to be more reliable than tradiational type automatic transmissions.

Keeping your DSG healthy is all about keeping up with fluid and filter changes every 40,000 miles.  The DSG clutch pack sheds material that gets stuck in the fluid and filter, and this contaminates the fluid and prevents it from protecting the transmission.

Unfortunately most shops and dealerships charge over $400 for the fluid and filter service on the DSG transmission, but, you can do it yourself for under $80.

The IDParts DSG Service Kit starts at just $79.95 and includes an OE DSG filter and 5 liters of DSG specific transmission fluid.  

To complete the service you'll need a few special tools.  Get a service kit PLUS all the tools you need in the IDParts DSG Service Starter Kit just $119.95.

Get the tools on their own, without the filter or fluid in the IDParts DSG Service Tool Kit, just $47.95!
