Has anybody successfully configured gear ratios for a 2.0 TSI VW 6 Speed? I’ve tried loads of combinations Thanks ---

This gearbox probably has two final ratios so gears must be entered by calculating the ratios per gear with final ratio and setting final ratio to 1.0 Do you have a source to see your gearbox ratios? ---

Good Morning it’s 2008 2.0 TSI VW EOS (But it’s the Golf GTI engine, they are the same) So I have set up: Gear 1 = 2.870 Gear 2 = 1.890 Gear 3 = 1.280 Gear 4 = 1.000 Gear 5 = 0.640 Gear 6 = 0.500 Final Drive Ratio 3.550 The rest set to 0 It almost works, everything is a gear behind. For example 1st and 2nd say = Gear 1 3rd says Gear 2 4th says Gear 3 5th says gear 4 6th says gear 5 Any ideas? Hope this helps ---

To be able to calculate the correct ratios, you need to know what gear ratios your transmission has. For example: [http://www.volkspage.net/technik/ssp/ssp/SSP\_205.pdf](http://www.volkspage.net/technik/ssp/ssp/SSP_205.pdf) There you can see in page 5 that VAG 6-speed transmissions have 2 different drive pinion sets and each gear has calculated overall ratio which comes from gear ratio \* drive pinion set ratio. In RealDash, enter the ‘Overall Ratio’ into each gear (set unused gears to 0.0), and set the final ratio to 1.0 Note that document that I linked may not match the ratios of your vehicle. You need to find some documentation about your actual transmission. ---

So I found this [https://www.driverside.com/specs/volkswagen-eos-2008-5494-12793-0?style\_id=37185](https://www.driverside.com/specs/volkswagen-eos-2008-5494-12793-0?style_id=37185) I set the figures according to this, it’s almost right except 4th is 5th and 5th is 6th so I am nearly there. Will keep searching
