Mechatronics Module

The mechatronics module integrated into the M DCT transmission housing consists of the M DCT electronics and the M DCT hydraulic components.

The selector rod position sensors are mounted directly on the M DCT electronics. The speed sensors for inner input shafts 1 and 2 are integrated in the upper position sensors.

The parking lock sensors are integrated in the second position sensor from the bottom.
