A dual-clutch transmission (DCT) (sometimes referred to as a twin-clutch transmission) is a type of multi-speed vehicle transmission system, that uses two separate clutches for odd and even gear sets. [1]

A dual-clutch transmission is basically a manual transmission that's controlled by a computer. However, with no pedal and little work required of the driver, it's technically a type of automatic transmission.

2024年3月4日 · A Dual-Clutch Transmission is an asset when you're trying to shift gears quickly and without losing power. We'll tell you how it works and why you want one.

2024年5月10日 · Dual-clutch transmissions aren’t all that complicated, at least, conceptually. Design-wise, a dual-clutch transmission is two manual gearboxes combined into one. One …

A dual clutch transmission (DCT) is an advanced type of automated manual transmission that uses two separate clutches for odd and even gears. One clutch manages the odd-numbered gears (1, 3, 5, etc.), while the other controls the even-numbered gears (2, 4, 6, etc.).

How does a dual-clutch transmission work? Many in-built computers control the dual-clutch gearbox. A DCT operates by employing two clutches rather than one, and both are highly automated, eliminating the need for a clutch pedal. These computers remove the need for the driver to physically shift gears and automate the actual process.

2021年3月26日 · This article's subject – the dual-clutch transmission (DCT) – internally works similar to a manual transmission but doesn't require the driver to operate a clutch pedal.

2022年8月31日 · A double-clutch gearbox is exactly what it sounds like: a transmission with two clutches. The box has two clutches because it is essentially two gearboxes in one.

2019年6月30日 · When compared to manual transmissions and traditional automatics, dual-clutch automatics are quicker to shift. The powertrain never has to be disconnected from the transmission, which allows for lightning-quick gear changes.

2023年6月15日 · A Dual-Clutch Transmission, or DCT, is a type of vehicle transmission system. It uses two separate clutches for odd and even gear sets. This allows for quicker gear shifts, offering a seamless and efficient driving experience.
