How Dual Clutch Transmissions Work - Simple Explanation

Опубликовано 27 ноября 2011, 4:08

How do dual clutch transmissions work? I explain how the system works, and why it is so successful at rapid gear changes. How it changes gears, and how the two clutches operate and transfer. Enjoy!

I should probably note that instead of having the bottom shaft as an output shaft, it would more than likely be a countershaft, having an extra gear at the end connecting to a third shaft (output). This would keep the engine and output rotating in the same direction. Regardless, this doesn't take away from how the system operates.
