What does DCT dual clutch mean?
1 Answers
Dual clutch DCT is a dual clutch transmission, which is the same as DSG direct shift transmission, but DSG is only the name used by Volkswagen. Because it works through two sets of clutches, it is currently generally referred to as a dual clutch transmission. The dual clutch transmission is based on a manual transmission but is not an automatic transmission. In addition to the flexibility of a manual transmission and the comfort of an automatic transmission, it can also provide uninterrupted power output. The advantages of a dual clutch transmission are very obvious. Firstly, it has two sets of clutches, each electronically controlled and actuated by a hydraulic system. The two sets of clutches correspond to two sets of planetary gears, so the drive shaft is correspondingly divided into two parts: the solid central drive shaft is responsible for one set of gears, and the hollow drive shaft is responsible for the other set.
