PORSCHE MACAN 95B Gearbox SZKD Gearbox 2.0 TFSI PETROL 2020 FAC

For the 2020 Porsche Macan 2.0 TFSI (95B.2 Facelift), the gearbox code SZKD identifies a specific version of the 7-speed PDK (Doppelkupplungsgetriebe). In the 2026 market, these units are highly specialized as they are calibrated specifically for the 4-cylinder EA888 engine’s torque curve, and are not interchangeable with the V6 models.

1. Technical Specifications (SZKD)

The SZKD is a wet dual-clutch transmission that combines Audi’s DL501 (0B5) architecture with Porsche’s specific PDK software and control logic.

• Transmission Type: 7-Speed Dual-Clutch (PDK).

• Engine Match: 2.0L 4-Cylinder Turbo (Petrol/Gasoline), typically the DKNA or DMT engine codes ($245\text{–}265\text{ hp}$)

• Drive System: Integrated All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch.

• Gear Ratios: Designed for efficiency, with a very “long” 7th gear for highway cruising ($0.52:1$).

2. Common Part Numbers

If you are searching for a replacement assembly, the SZKD code is often associated with these OEM Porsche and Audi-cross reference numbers:

• Porsche OEM: 0FD.300.040.H or 0FD.300.041.AX

• Alternate Codes: You may also see A5B03 listed as a functional equivalent in some European databases for the 2.0T facelift.

3. 2026 Market Value

By 2026, the cost of these transmissions is driven by their reliability, but electronic failures in the mechatronics unit remain the primary reason for replacement.

4. Critical “Facelift” Differences

Because your car is a 2020 Facelift (95B.2), there are electronic differences compared to the 2014–2018 models:

• The Mechatronics Plug: The 2020+ models use an updated wiring harness and communication protocol. A gearbox from a 2017 Macan will not communicate correctly with your 2020 ECU without extensive hardware swapping.

• The “Green” Oil: Facelift PDKs often utilize a specific low-friction ATF. Using the older 95B.1 fluid spec can cause premature wear on the clutch packs.

5. Service & Troubleshooting

• The 40k Service: The SZKD requires a fluid and filter change every 40,000 miles. In 2026, failing to do this is the #1 cause of “Transmission Emergency Run” errors.

• The “Transfer Case” Issue: On the Macan, the transfer case is bolted to the back of the SZKD gearbox. If you experience “shuddering” during low-speed turns, it is usually the transfer case, not the SZKD gearbox itself.

• Calibration: Any time an SZKD unit is swapped or the mechatronics is replaced, a PDK Calibration (Gearbox Teach-in) must be performed using a PIWIS III or IV tool to find the clutch “kiss points.”
