Is Dual Clutch Manual or Automatic?
1 Answers
Dual clutch is automatic. Automatic transmissions include: traditional automatic transmissions, CVT transmissions, and dual clutch transmissions. Any transmission that does not require manual operation and completes gear shifting automatically is collectively referred to as an automatic transmission. Car transmissions can be divided into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions, with the latter further categorized into AT automatic transmissions, AMT semi-automatic transmissions, DTC dual clutch transmissions, and CVT continuously variable transmissions. Throughout the process from starting the car to normal driving, the driver can operate the clutch as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and the drivetrain, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power output from the engine to the drivetrain. Its function is to allow the engine and the transmission to gradually engage, ensuring a smooth start; temporarily disconnect the engine from the transmission to facilitate gear shifting and reduce impact during shifting; and act as a separator during emergency braking to prevent overloading of the transmission and other drivetrain components, thus providing a certain level of protection.
