I get you! Forums can be a bit of a maze at first. So, when it comes to the VW Passat, the 1.5-liter automatic usually rocks the dry clutch gearbox, while the 2.0-liter tends to sport the wet clutch. The DSG box terminology might throw anyone off initially, but it essentially refers to the Direct-Shift Gearbox, the automatic transmission VW is known for. Don't worry about the forum finesse; we're all here to help each other out!
