Car DCT is an automatic transmission that uses a dual-clutch transmission. Dual-clutch is a type of automatic transmission. Driving a car with a dual-clutch transmission is not much different from driving a traditional automatic transmission model. The dual-clutch transmission does not have the torque converter of a traditional automatic transmission but is a type of mechanical automatic transmission. It has two power output shafts, one connected to the clutch and the other to the gears. During the entire gear-shifting process, while one set of gears is outputting power, the other set is already on standby, ensuring that there is always one set of gears delivering power without interruption. This results in faster gear shifts and more rapid acceleration.
