Which is better, AT or DCT transmission?
1 Answers
From the perspective of durability, DCT transmissions are more durable than AT transmissions. Here is the relevant information: 1. DCT: Due to having two clutches, DCT transmissions offer smoother gear shifts, almost achieving seamless shifting. The high-speed driving experience is similar to that of a CVT continuously variable transmission. 2. AT: Because of the torque converter, AT transmissions provide a gentler start compared to DCT, but this reduces the sense of 'directness' during acceleration. The complex structure is also a common issue with AT transmissions. Due to their complexity, manufacturing and maintenance costs tend to be higher.
