What is a Dual Clutch Transmission?

This may be a basic explanation. Dual clutch transmissions are somewhat of a hybrid of a manual and automatic transmission. They are more like a manual transmission however it uses two clutches (hence dual clutch) to keep the gear change in sync. The German Car Shoppe of Littleton services dual clutch systems in the Denver area.

When using a manual transmission on your German made car, you need to frequently disengage the clutch to be able to change gears. The clutch works by disconnecting the engine’s drive from the driveline very briefly so that the gears can be changed smoothly. A DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) works by using two clutches instead of one.

You do not need to understand a dual transmission system if you drive a German made car around Denver. What is important to understand is that The German Car Shoppe in Littleton will inspect, and if necessary, replace your car’s dual transmission system. Call (303) 798-2287 for an appointment.
