A dual clutch transmission, unremarkably abbreviated to DCT uses 2 clutches, but has no clutch pedal. Sophisticated electronics as well as hydraulics command the clutches, only equally they create inwards a measure automatic transmission. In a DCT, however, the clutches run independently. One clutch controls the strange gears (first, third, 5th as well as reverse), piece the other controls the fifty-fifty gears (second as well as fourth) equally shown inwards figure. Using this arrangement, gears tin endure changed without interrupting the ability period of time from the engine to the transmission.
A two-part transmission shaft is at the take in of a DCT. Unlike a conventional manual gearbox, which houses all of its gears on a unmarried input shaft, the DCT splits upwardly strange as well as fifty-fifty gears on 2 input shafts. The outer shaft is hollowed out, making room for an inner shaft, which is nested inside. The outer hollow shaft feeds minute as well as 4th gears, piece the inner shaft feeds first, 3rd as well as fifth.
