Remember that this 1.5 TiVCT box is specific to India, and is derived from the international 1.This part is compatible with 181 vehicle(s) Yearġ.6L 1596CC 97Cu. Specific to India, I'd be curious just how extensively and how well the TCM has been adapted to the characteristics of the 1.5 TiVCT box we get here. Then again, if you're looking at mods higher than stage 1, you probably shouldn't be targeting the PowerShift transmission - all reviewers acknowledge that it is a commuter transmission, not a performance one This is because factors like the upshift point are all based on the stock engine's performance, and you might realize even better performance in tuning the TCM accordingly. peak torque coming in sooner), then the TCM would benefit even more from being reprogrammed to be aware of these changes. However, if the power output has changed in terms of 'pattern' (e.g.

In that respect, the gearbox will adapt to any changes in power output, particularly for 'stage 1' mods like FFE, CAI. The TCM/gearbox are loosely coupled to the engine, and the TCM takes as its input the engine speed (crank RPM) and engine torque (among other inputs), and drives its logic accordingly. If this assumption is correct, then any mod we do to engine (let's say FFE etc etc), will that impact the way DCT behaves/shifts for that particular car? These boxes will also have been tuned with the engine combo. Higher performance PowerShift transmissions might have tuning options (such as the 7DCI700 used in various BMWs), but probably not the lower torque DCT we get in India. However, I'm not aware of any tuning options for these low-torque DCTs for Ford. Sankar has also pointed out tuning options for VAG's DSG series of gearboxes. the TCM is only loosely coupled to the ECU). Getrag has designed this gearbox to be quite independent of the engine, so while the TCM takes in various inputs from the ECU, it then interprets that input and applies its own internal logic to then perform gear changes (i.e.

I've covered this in the second post (which talks about the various components). Can these be retrofitted?Īs Sankar has mentioned, the gearbox has its own control logic called the transmission control module (TCM). Fiesta didn't come with that manual +/- shifter buttons on the DCT. These boxes will also have been tuned with the engine combo (So, my assumption is that the DCT box would be tuned differently for Aspire/Figo/Fiesta/Ecosport). I had got it done and the DCT box behaved very differently after that TSB. I know of a TSB that Ford had done for the DCT in Fiesta for the clutch shudder/jerkiness in stop-go traffic. I presume that these boxes are ECU controlled (and maybe even a separate ECU for the box), so is it possible for after market remaps of the boxes for a shift pattern that one would prefer? Any examples or such work done abroad? I have a DCT Fiesta Petrol AT and love driving it in the city and even highways.įew questions for the general community of interested readers here:
