  • Oh hi there. Today, we discuss Transmission Control Unit tunes, and what their purpose is. Do they affect everyday drivability? Do they help performance? And what do they mean for the longevity of your transmission? We test out Unitronic's Stage 2 DSG TCU Tune, on this C7.5 Audi S6, with a couple arbitrary 0-60 tests, and driveability tests! Next up, 1/4 mile tests.

    Love the videos man, never knew the potential of the s6 I honestly forgot they made them. I’ve been looking for a new daily that can combine power and luxury. I daily a stroked out 2006 Jeep Srt8 and it has the power but zero comfort 😂keep the videos coming! Can’t wait to pick up my s6!!

    Trans tune is _so_ important. I've heard good things about the Silly Rabbit Motorsports TCU tune. Are you guys still happy with the Unitronic tune?

    • @NotSoHandyCarGuy
      @NotSoHandyCarGuy  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I’ll have to look into them! But yes, very satisfied with Unitronic. Awesome quality products and customer support. The shifts are so much quicker with the tune.

    Does tuning the transmission damage it in the long run

    • @NotSoHandyCarGuy
      @NotSoHandyCarGuy  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No, it should help extend its longevity by decreasing shift speeds and minimizing clutch slip

    Hey there! Great content. I found it very informative. Can you please make a video sharing your impressions/information regarding the overall reliability of the S6? Thanks!

    • @NotSoHandyCarGuy
      @NotSoHandyCarGuy  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sorry I just noticed this! Glad you enjoyed the video. I have a full review of the S6 that I did last year that goes deeper into my impressions. But so far, the car only has about 12,000 miles on it so we haven’t experienced any reliability issues. There’s a couple good videos out there that go more in depth about the S6 reliability though.

    I got a PCM tune for my old 2000 GTP (old car so this tune also reprogrammed the transmission). It was by far the best mod I put in that thing. The place I went through dialed it in perfect to match my other mods. Like you said, a well programmed tune is not only great for performance but can also improve longevity of the drivetrain. The slushbox 4T65e-HD in the GTP was notorious for going out, but mine shifted perfect (way better than stock) until I had to get rid of it with 180k miles and it never gave me trouble. Great video Matt!

      Man I miss that car. I bet you do tremendously. That thing was so cool, not only because it was a good car with a a great engine, but because you rarely see people taking care of that era Pontiac. Thanks Mike!!

    • @NotSoHandyCarGuy
      @NotSoHandyCarGuy  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      3.46 before and 3.71 after, but only because of the wheel slip during the second and third runs
