What is a Dual Clutch Transmission?

A dual-clutch transmission is an important approach to an automatic transmission.  Think of it as a manual transmission controlled by a computer, but instead of one clutch, it has two.  While one clutch controls the even gears, and the other controls the odd gears.  What’s the purpose?  Dual-clutch transmissions are designed to shift between gears faster and be more fuel-efficiently.

Historically speaking, when automakers first began developing automated manual transmissions for modern drivers, the systems had a single clutch.  These transmissions had individual gears for each ratio, just like a manual transmission.  The shifting process, though, was automated, as with a conventional automatic transmission.
