The double clutch transmission is known by many
names like automated manual transmission,
semi-automatic transmission, and clutch-less
manual transmission.

A regular manual transmission car uses one clutch
and a clutch pedal, but a double clutch
transmission uses two separate clutches with no
clutch pedal.

As there are no clutch pedals, the clutches are
controlled by hydraulics and advanced computer
electronics.

automatic transmission cars. Let us go, through

Most of the people who have driven a double
clutch transmission car have said that their
acceleration is a breeze.

This is due to the gearshifts being able to
change quickly and allowing you to accelerate in
far less time than in a manual or automatic
transmission car.

creates a dynamic and smooth acceleration
experience.

No shift shock

In manual transmission vehicles, you are going to
experience a jolt whenever a gear is shifted and
this is called a shift shock.

However, in double clutch cars, you are not going
to experience any of these shift shocks.

transmission from the engine. Due to which the
fuel economy of the car greatly improves.

because the double clutch vehicles do not use a
clutch pedal.

central computer to control the shifting or if
they want to manually control it themselves.

shift by using the easily accessible buttons.

systems are found in high-performance cars and
luxury cars.
27
If you have a turbocharged engine and a double
clutch transmission in your car, then you will
experience something known as turbo lag.
