2014–2025 Infiniti Q50 Clutch & Drivetrain FAQ's

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What should I know about the Q50’s 7‑speed automatic when adding power?

The 7‑speed handles torque well with proper temps. TCU calibration improves shift logic and torque limits; add transmission cooling for repeated track use.

Is an LSD upgrade worth it on RWD Q50 models?

Yes—most trims use an open diff. A quality LSD improves traction out of corners and reduces one‑wheel spin, especially on stickier tires.

Are stronger axles needed for hard launches?

High‑grip setups and drag launches stress axles, especially on AWD. Upgraded axles and careful launch control settings improve longevity.
