Explain the benefits and operation of a dual-clutch transmission.

What will be an ideal response?


A DCT can shift gears faster and without any interruption of power flow, which increases fuel economy. A DCT is actually two separate transmissions, one for the odd gears and the other for the even gears. When a gear change is ordered, the next gear is preselected and is ready to engage as soon as the current gear is disengaged.
