European Transmissions

Modern day transmissions in European vehicles can be very intimidating, but they don’t have to be. By gaining a basic understanding of how they work, common failures, and how to properly service them, the intimidation factor can be eased. This will open up a new opportunity for your shop to gain revenue in an area that may have been previously missed.

This training course will offer a look into 3 of the most common transmissions currently in use today from Audi/VW, BMW, and Mercedes Benz. Additionally, there will be a hands on training on the service procedure of the Mercedes 9g Tronic.

After this course, a technician will be able to:

• Identify a transmission in need of an oil change 
• Interpret signs of a transmission that will be harmed from an oil change
• Explain the properties and importance of the correct oils and filtering media
• Review the basics of transmission operation
• Describe the steps to changing the transmission oil in a DSG (Audi/VW) and a ZF 8HP (BMW)
• Complete a transmission service on a Mercedes 9g Tronic
