DL501 Transmission

The Audi DL501 Transmission, also known as the 0B5 S Tronic transmission, is a 7-speed longitudinally mounted wet dual-clutch transmission developed by Audi for performance-focused vehicles. Introduced in 2008, it uses two electronically controlled wet clutches to deliver fast and smooth gear changes. The K1 clutch controls odd gears (1, 3, 5, and 7), while K2 controls even gears and reverse. The DL501 can handle approximately 550–600 Nm of torque in stock form and uses separate fluid circuits for the transmission gears and hydraulic clutch/mechatronic system.
