Disadvantages of the Getrag 7DCT400 gearbox
- This preselective robotic transmission is new, and its failure rates are minimal;
- On specialized forums, there are complaints only about jerking and stumbling, but firmware usually helps;
- The robotic transmission clutch unit lasts a long time, but the cost of replacing it will not please many;
- Also, on all-wheel drive versions, you need to monitor the condition of the splined connections;
- But a big advantage of this transmission is its own cooling circuit.
