What is Dual Clutch Transmission?

[LaEdward]

Dual Clutch Transmission is called DCT, which is the abbreviation of Dual Clutch Transmission in English. It is literally translated as dual clutch transmission in Chinese. Because it has two sets of clutches, the alternate operation of the two sets of clutches can achieve seamless gear shifting, so it is currently called dual clutch transmission. The dual clutch transmission shifts more flexibly than a manual transmission and is more comfortable than an automatic transmission. Traditional manual transmissions use a single clutch. When shifting gears, the driver must depress the clutch pedal to engage the gears of different gears, resulting in a power interruption during gear shifting, which causes intermittent output performance. There are two types of dual clutch transmissions: wet dual clutch transmissions and dry dual clutch transmissions.
