DSG was designed by BorgWarner and initaially licensed to Volkswagen AG, so it is not VW design to begin with whereas Porsche designed the gearbox internally. For those who are interested in the type of transmission available now, you should buy the TopGear Malaysia July 2008 issue. There is a brief explanation on this matter there. thanks BMW…

It can handle up to 440Nm whereas the DSG only 250Nm. Gear change in the PDK is 200msec and DSG is quoted at 8msec (not sure abt this - please clarify PT). It may have the same principal but they are designed differently by different company. DSG is designed for road car whereas the PDK is for sport car. PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplungs) or PDK

The same thing with DSG, just a different name. Tomorrow we should produce our very own dual clutches gearbox and name it 'our way'. Some names come to my mind. "Kekotak Gandar Klutch Berganda" Imagine a matsalleh pronouncing this.. it will surely sound sophisticated out of the world bleeding edge technology..! ps: Sori I dont know what 'clutch' is called in Malay.. anybody knows? Marvellous video and explanation. The same thing with DSG, just a different name. Tomorrow we should produce our very own dual clutches gearbox and name it ‘our way’.

Some names come to my mind.

“Kekotak Gandar Klutch Berganda”

Imagine a matsalleh pronouncing this.. it will surely sound sophisticated out of the world bleeding edge technology..!

ps: Sori I dont know what ‘clutch’ is called in Malay.. anybody knows?
