Gearbox tuning
A remapped engine makes more torque than the gearbox was set up for. Gearbox tuning matches it: clamping, shift speed and shift points.

Two control units, one car
The engine makes it. The gearbox has to hold it.
After a remap the engine sends more torque than the gearbox was set up for. Its own software decides how hard it clamps and when it changes, so it is tuned to match.
Clamping
Clutch pressure raised to hold the new torque, so nothing slips.
Shift speed
Quicker, firmer changes in sport and manual mode.
Shift points
Changes moved to where the remapped engine makes its power.
Launch and kick-down
Launch control and kick-down set up for the car.
Why
Engine and gearbox, mapped together
On cars with DSG and other automatic gearboxes, the gearbox's own software limits what the engine can deliver.
Tuned together, the car pulls cleanly through every change.
Questions
FAQs.
Is a remap safe for my engine?
Yes. When a remap is written specifically for your car and the engine is in good health, it stays well within the limits the parts were designed for. That’s why we start with a free health check, and why all our software is developed and either road-tested or tested on our rolling road. If we find a fault, we’ll fix it first. We never tune a car until it’s healthy.
Will it affect my insurance or warranty?
Yes. Tell your insurer. A remap is a modification, and most insurers cover it once it’s declared. If your car is still under warranty, the manufacturer could refuse claims on related parts, so speak to us before booking.
Can it go back to standard?
Yes. Before we make any changes, we read and securely save the car’s original factory file. If you ever want or need to return it to standard, we can simply write the original file back on to the car.
How long does it take?
Most Stage 1 remaps are done on the same day. Dyno sessions, gearbox tuning and Stage 2 or 3 tuning take a little longer; we’ll give you a time estimate when you book.
Do you remap at shows and events?
Yes! We attend a range of car shows and events throughout the year, and you can see where we’ll be on our social media pages or our events calendar. Spaces can be limited, so please get in touch beforehand to check we can support your vehicle and book your slot.
Can I pay monthly?
Yes. We offer flexible finance options, so you can spread the cost into manageable monthly payments. Just let us know when you book and we can discuss your options. Subject to status.
