stevie_d Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Strange question I know, but I'm looking at recieving some very basic evasive driving tuition and was wondering if j-turns would be possible in a DSG box? I guess they'd be theoretically possible, but does anyone know if it's likely to cause any damage to the box? If anyone has experience of j-turns and such in any auto then that's be great, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edo Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 interesting question - I'd guess no - doubt the box would go from reverse to 1st quick enough to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHA Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 I suspect it might damage the box given the forces that would need to go through it for the momentum change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhs Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 The Carlimits activity day slalom course was interesting - it's really difficult to do a handbrake turn (into a garage slot) and then reverse out into a second garage and then go into forward to do a second run of cones. The DSG box takes an absolute age to go from S to R, and then from R to S Deffo a manual for the getaway Deffo DSG for everyday road driving however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 when I was taught the J-Turn thing at a driving day - in a lovely old Astra - I remember the clutch being very important, used mid turn and for the wheelspin getaway at the end of the turn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
