AudiDL501 (equipped in the Q5): -7 speed forward, 1 reverse. -Dual Multi-plate wet clutches. -Longitudinal engine mounting only (engine cylinders go from front to back across the bay) -High fluid fill, dual separate oiling circuits (1 for controls, 1 for gears) -Maximum torque capacity of 440 Ft-Lbs. The "S Tronic" Audi transmission is much
TheDirect-Shift Gearbox (Direktschaltgetriebe) is a semi-automatic transmission invented by BorgWarner and initially licenced to Volkswagen (which also owns the Audi, Seat, Bentley and Skoda brands). By using two clutches, fast shifts can be achieved, and the inefficient torque converter of a regular automatic transmission is
Inboth of those cases the 8 speed Tiptronic was smoother, but the normal everyday spirited shifts from like 2 to 3 or 5 to 4 are smoother in the S-Tronic. If you read about the Q8 they are complaining about total non-responsiveness of the gas pedal in these situations, luckily the Q5 is not affected in a similar way.
Thattorque lift necessitated a switch from the Q5’s underspecced 7-speed S-tronic dual clutch transmission to a tougher ZF 8-speed Tiptronic. That was a torque converter gearbox but despite
Dependingon the version, they were mated to a 6-speed manual, a 7-speed S-Tronic or an 8-speed Tiptronic gearbox. It was offered with a front or all-wheel-drive system.
Thenew 8 speed tiptronic changes gears very quickly, quicker than previous iterations of the 6 speed tip. Gear changes take 0.2 seconds (per ZF) and match DSG shift times per the S Tronic gearbox.
