I have a DSG gearbox and ever since i got my car i noticed if im in 3rd or above if you press the accelerator pedal a reasonable amount then it will down gear in order to give you more power.Sometimes this feature annoys me as i am in 3rd and am not even pressing it that hard and it will down gear and the revs will be quite high when i don't need the extra power.I installed the aluminium pedals about a year ago and im wondering if the sensitivity for the gearbox to down gear will be higher on the aluminium pedals as they are made for the S3/RS3.
I only really thought about the pedals making it down gear more easily when my brother told me that is the most likely reason.But then it made me think that the golf GTD has the same 2 litre engine and uses these pedals so surely it shouldn't make a difference on my 140 .As you can see im in 2 minds about it and was wondering if anyone else noticed a difference in throttle response after fitting them ?
