Looking for a successful DCT sump plate solution, please

Excuse my ignorance, but is this the same DCT box as in the N20 E89 variant?

Nope that’s the ZF8HP torque converter box..this is the Getrag dual clutch gearbox.the ZF is a doddle to service in comparison

The Getrag was used only because at the time the ZF 8 HP couldn’t handle the torque ..it was limited to 450 nm in most gears and 370 in a couple.

Once ZF upped the torque limit the Getrag was history..

The ZF outclassed the Getrag in almost every regard…

Thanks Peter, good to know.

So the auto in the N20 E89 is reasonably reliable then?

Yes it’s a very good box..oil / filter change every 50k and you’re good
