Transform How Your Car Drives - What Is Gearbox Remapping Haverhill?

Modern automatic gearboxes are run by computers known as Transmission Control Units, or TCUs for short. They work side-by-side with the Engine Control Unit (ECU) that operates the engine in your vehicle. In their factory settings, these gearboxes are typically calibrated to meet comfort, noise, emissions or longevity targets - but that usually means sacrificing performance and responsiveness.

Gearbox remapping Haverhill, also known as transmission tuning, involves reprogramming the software that controls your gearbox. We can adjust shift points, rev limits, safely raise torque limiters, reduce gear change delays, and improve overall smoothness in all driving modes - but you will feel the greatest improvement in Sports driving mode. When paired with one our our stage 1 or stage 2 engine remaps, the results are fantastic.
