What is an Automatic Dual Clutch?

It is modern technology at its best. An automatic dual clutch in its simplest explanation is a system that uses two clutches instead of one. What does that do for your German car? Well, if you don’t already know, it is computer controlled and allows YOU (the driver) to have no clutch at all!

It is abbreviated DCT. One of the main advantages of a dual clutch transmission is its economical fuel saving benefits as the flow of power from the engine does not get disrupted. The mechanics at The German Car Shoppe of Littleton are adept at repairing dual clutch transmissions. Denver drivers have counted on them for decades.

Repair or replacement of a DCT system is one of so many things for which to call the pros at The German Car Shoppe, located at 5115 South Santa Fe Drive in Littleton, CO.
