Unleash the full potential of your Aisin automatic transmission with AutoUpgrades’ precision-engineered tuning solutions. We don’t just tinker—we transform. At AutoUpgrades, we go deep into the control strategies that make Aisin transmissions what they are: the software maps, torque models, pressure targets, and shift logic that define how your vehicle behaves. By refining these elements, we deliver a gearbox that feels more decisive, uses the engine’s power more effectively, and delivers performance that is both stronger and smoother in every situation.

Factory calibrations are conservative. They’re designed to work across broad markets, fuel qualities, and driving styles. That’s fine for mass production, but it leaves plenty of untapped potential. With our bespoke tuning, your Aisin transmission can finally respond the way it should—whether that means quicker kickdowns for overtaking, smoother low-speed drivability in traffic, or firmer, more controlled shifts under load. It’s about transforming how the car feels, without compromising reliability or longevity.

Why Choose AutoUpgrades?

  • Unleashed Torque Limiters: We safely recalibrate torque management so your engine’s output is used fully—no more wasted potential.
  • Blitzkrieg Shifts: Faster, cleaner, and more decisive gear changes for a drive that feels sharper and more connected.
  • Real Engineering: Our methodology is built on OEM development practices, with proper safety margins and validation on New Zealand roads.
  • Tailored Results: Each calibration is matched to the exact software version and condition of your transmission—no generic files or shortcuts.

With AutoUpgrades, your Aisin transmission doesn’t just “work”—it commands the road with confidence, putting you in control of every shift and every surge of power.

Exhibit A: Aisin AL1000 Applications

  • Audi Q7 (4L): 2009 – 2015
  • Porsche Cayenne (92A): 2009 – 2017
  • Volkswagen Touareg (7P): 2010 – 2018

Exhibit B: Aisin AL750 6-speed Applications

  • Volkswagen Touareg: 2002 – 2010
  • Porsche Cayenne: 2002 – 2010
  • Audi Q7: 2002 – 2010

The AL750 earned its reputation for robustness, but stock calibration often made it feel lazy or hesitant. With tuning, it becomes a very different gearbox—more assertive, more efficient, and better matched to modern driving expectations. The AL1000, used in later Q7, Cayenne, and Touareg models, offers even more potential, with torque management strategies that, once optimised, deliver a gearbox that feels alive and properly matched to the powertrain.

What You Can Expect:

  • Stronger, repeatable shifts: No hesitation, no flare—just clean gear changes you can rely on.
  • Sharper response: Reduced lag on kickdown and a more direct feel when overtaking.
  • Better use of torque: Especially noticeable when towing, climbing, or driving with heavy loads.
  • Refined cruising: Smarter torque converter lockup for smoother motorway driving and improved efficiency.

In practice, most Aisin transmission tunes are completed in a single day. You drop the car off in the morning, we perform a full read, analysis, recalibration, and road validation, and by the afternoon your vehicle is ready to collect. The result is immediate—faster, smoother, stronger shifts and a more engaging driving experience. And if you’re also considering an engine remap, we align both ECU and TCU strategies for a complete transformation.

With AutoUpgrades, you’re not just enhancing your transmission—you’re refining the entire driving experience. From city streets to mountain passes, from towing to spirited driving, your Aisin gearbox becomes sharper, smarter, and more capable. It’s performance you can feel every time you drive.
