Disadvantages:
In Short:
- Due to the complexity of the look, it’s impossible to create it as reliable as a standard torque-converter automatic drive.
- The clutch pack mechanisms have a limited lifespan.
- Marginally worse mechanical efficiency compared to a standard manual transmission, especially on wet-clutch variants thanks to electronics and hydraulic systems.
- Expensive specialist transmission fluids/lubricants with dedicated additives are required, which require regular changes.
- Relatively expensive to manufacture, and thus increases new vehicle damage.
- Relatively lengthy shift time when shifting to a gear ratio that the transmission control unit didn’t anticipate (around 1100 ms, reckoning on the situation).
- Torque handling capability constraints impose a limit on after-market engine tuning modifications (though many tuners and users may exceed the official torque limits notwithstanding); (Later variants are fitted to more powerful cars, like the 300 bhp/350 Nm VW R36 and also the 272 bhp/350 Nm Audi TTS.)
- Heavier than a comparable Getrag conventional manual transmission (75 kg (165 lb) vs. 47.5 kg (105 lb)).
