Automatic Transmissions
Depending on the engine application
and marketing area, the Volkswagen
Phaeton is available with a five-speed
automatic transmission or a six-speed
automatic transmission.
Both automatic transmissions are currently
already in use in other Volkswagen vehicles.
They have been modified and adapted for
installation in the Phaeton. An electro-
hydraulic system is used to control them.
The Transmission Control Module J217
registers operating conditions, driver input,
and external influences such as travelling
uphill or downhill. Gear selection is made
by the Transmission Control Module J217
based on all incoming data.
Five-speed automatic transmission features:
• Dynamic shift program and sport
shift program.
• Regulated torque converter
lockup clutch.
• Tiptronic shift program.

• A Torsen center differential is integrated
in this transmission to distribute the
torque to all four wheels.
• Maximum torque transmission:
