DCT Odd Gear Synchronizer Ring Worn
on 2021 Tesla Model Y Performance Dual Motor AWD · AWD
What this code means
The synchronizer ring for the odd gear set (1st, 3rd, 5th) in the DCT is worn beyond tolerance, causing grinding or difficulty engaging gears.
Symptoms
- Grinding noise on 1-3-5 gear engagement
- Delayed odd gear shifts
- Harsh engagement in 1st gear from stop
- Metallic particles in fluid
- Gear rejection on fast shifts
Common causes
- Synchronizer ring wear from aggressive shifting
- Insufficient lubrication
- Manufacturing defect
- High-mileage wear
- Clutch engagement timing error causing ring stress
Diagnostic steps
- Listen for grinding during odd gear engagement
- Check DCT fluid for metallic particles
- Monitor gear engagement time for odd gears
- Compare odd vs even gear shift quality
- Review TCM shift strategy data
Repair notes
Transmission disassembly required to replace synchronizer rings. Address clutch engagement timing if contributing to accelerated wear.
