Dual-clutch transmission is a manual transmission, not an automatic transmission. A dual-clutch transmission is a manual transmission equipped with automatic shifting technology. Strictly speaking, it belongs to both manual and automatic transmissions. Besides offering the flexibility of a manual transmission and the comfort of an automatic transmission, it also provides uninterrupted power output. The dual-clutch transmission, abbreviated as DCT, has two sets of clutches. The alternating operation of these two clutches achieves seamless gear shifting. Common dual-clutch transmissions include Volkswagen's DSG, Ford's Powershift, Mitsubishi's SST, and Porsche's PDK.
