VW / Audi DQ381 DCT Upgrade

The DQ381 is a 7-speed dual clutch transmission (DCT) developed and manufactured by Volkswagen Group known for its wide range of applications throughout the VW and Audi line. Blending performance and efficiency, the DQ381 has been used in both traditional gasoline and hybrid powertrains. 

When enhancing engine performance, it is crucial that the transmission is upgraded as well, ensuring that it will reliably perform under the increase in power generated by the engine.

DEKA excels in providing high-quality transmission upgrades, using expert engineering and the careful replacement of high-wear, OEM components with CNC-machined billet elements, increased frictions, and craftsmen assembly. Benefits include greater holding power and durability, reduced clutch slippage, and enhanced performance.  

Each level of upgrade provides greater torque rating, offering a unique solution for each build, driver preferences, and budget.
