How does one beef up VW's trans to handle more horsepower.

The transmission isn't the limiting factor, it's usually the clutch.

Both manual and DSG have held up to power modifications fine.

There are no mods to beef up the automatic transmissions (DSG is not automatic)

If you want some options on clutchs, read this: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/clutchfaq.htm

Since you said Auto trans, there is no way to beef up the transmission. The autos in the 2004 and up seem to be a lot better than the ones in the 1998-2003. If yours fails, it might be possible to bolt it up.

Auto Trans??

Thanks for the quick reply on my last question. NOW how much can I turn up the wick on my 2002 TDI without destroying the trans. What injectors and or chip should I use? OR... Is there a manual trans swap that would work well without spending like they are in Washington?:dunno:dunno:dunno:dunno

LOl...http://www.rocketchip.com/ or http://dieselinside.com/ get excellent reviews. I suggest destroying the trans first before planning on getting a new one, lol!
