dual-clutch
Two-clutch gearbox system
Dual-clutch describes a type of automotive transmission that uses two separate clutches for odd and even gear sets, allowing nearly instantaneous gear changes.
One clutch handles the current gear while the other pre-selects the next, eliminating the power interruption of conventional manual or automatic transmissions: The dual-clutch gearbox shifts faster than any human could.
