Gearbox tuning involves modifying the transmission system of a vehicle to optimise its performance, efficiency, or responsiveness. Unlike engine tuning, which focuses on power output, gearbox tuning enhances how that power is delivered to the wheels, improving acceleration, fuel economy, and driving comfort.

Key aspects of gearbox tuning include adjusting shift points, refining clutch engagement, and calibrating gear ratios. Modern vehicles with electronic control units (ECUs) and transmission control units (TCUs) allow for software remapping, enabling precise control over gear change timing and behaviour. This can lead to smoother shifts, reduced wear on transmission components, and better adaptation to driving styles or conditions.

For performance-oriented vehicles, gearbox tuning can shorten shift times, hold gears longer at higher revs, and improve throttle response during gear changes. In contrast, for daily driving, tuning might focus on smoother gear transitions and enhanced fuel efficiency.

At Welsh Coast Tuning, we offer bespoke gearbox remapping solutions tailored to your vehicle and driving preferences, ensuring an optimal balance between performance and reliability.
