Does the Dual-Clutch Transmission Have Gear Shift Jerk?
1 Answers
The gear shift jerk of the dual-clutch transmission is quite noticeable at low speeds, but once the speed increases, the jerkiness of the dual-clutch transmission becomes much less pronounced. The structure of the dual-clutch transmission is similar to that of a manual transmission, with the addition of an extra clutch and a set of gear shift control mechanisms. One clutch in the dual-clutch transmission controls the odd-numbered gears, while the other controls the even-numbered gears. The brand that first began large-scale use of dual-clutch transmissions was Volkswagen. Volkswagen extensively adopted small-displacement turbocharged engines and dual-clutch transmissions in its vehicles. The dual-clutch transmission was jointly developed by Volkswagen and BorgWarner.
