What is a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission?
1 Answers
6-speed dual-clutch refers to a vehicle equipped with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The '6-speed' indicates that the transmission has six gear ratios. Vehicles with 6-speed dual-clutch transmissions belong to the automatic transmission category and are not considered manual transmissions. The 6-speed dual-clutch transmission achieves uninterrupted power transmission. Inside the 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, there are two sets of clutches and two input shafts. The gear shifting is accomplished through an integrated electronic and hydraulic control module. One clutch controls the odd-numbered gears (1st, 3rd, 5th), while the other controls the even-numbered gears (2nd, 4th, 6th).
