dual clutch

Two-disc gearbox system

A dual clutch is a type of automotive transmission that uses two separate clutches for odd and even gears, allowing the next gear to be pre-selected while the current gear is engaged.

This enables faster, smoother shifts than a traditional manual or automatic transmission: The dual clutch transmission shifts in milliseconds.

Also called DCT or dual-clutch gearbox.
