My experience with dual clutch systems is in Audi. Their DSG system makes your automatic feel like a manual, somewhat, with the goal of achieving faster shifts and a better feel.

Equipped with two input shafts (one inside the other), torque interruptions are imperceptible during gear shifting. In fact its gear-shifting technology is so rapid the \u201chead-bob\u201d is eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>With half the gears on one main shaft and half on the other and a cluster between them, the dual clutch brings the two transmissions together. Odd number gears reside on one shaft, even number gears on the other. When shifting from one gear to the next the second gear is already pre-selected and the dual clutch operates in 200 milliseconds.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24073\" style=\"width: 585px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24073\" class=\" wp-image-24073 \" style=\"margin: 4px; border: 2px solid black;\" title=\"TremecTransmission\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/TremecTransmission.jpg\" alt=\"transmission, valve body,\" width=\"575\" border=\"2\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/TremecTransmission.jpg 2100w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/TremecTransmission-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/TremecTransmission-575x381.jpg 575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2100px) 100vw, 2100px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24073\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The valve body, pictured at the right of the clutch, contains a series of valves that control the fluid that assists in the gear shifting actuation and the clutch release.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>For racing cars, TREMEC is introducing their new Magnum XL to the heart of competition at the Detroit Grand Prix, June 1-2, 2013. Originally designed for the S197 Mustang, the Magnum XL features an extra long extension to ensure precise shifting and extend the shift lever back to a more convenient location.<\/p>\n<p>In addition the transmission eliminates the OEM two-piece driveshaft. A one-piece aluminum replacement is provided that reduces the rotating mass by more than 20lbs. Moreover an SFI-approved burst-proof bell housing is supplied with the kit.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-24068\" style=\"margin: 4px; border: 2px solid black;\" title=\"Magnum (0075)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Magnum-0075.jpg\" alt=\"S197 Mustang, Magnum XL, long extension transmission\" width=\"575\" border=\"2\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Magnum-0075.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Magnum-0075-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Magnum-0075-575x381.jpg 575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Source:<br \/>\nTREMEC<br \/>\nPlymouth, Michigan<br \/>\n(734) 456-3714<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.Tremec.com\">www.Tremec.com<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mr_social_sharing_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Sharing Toolkit v2.2 --><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.myrideisme.com%2FBlog%2Fdual-clutch-transmission-new-from-tremec%2F&amp;media=&amp;description=Dual+Clutch+Transmission%3A+New+from+TREMEC\" class=\"pin-it-button\" count-layout=\"none\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/PinExt.png\" title=\"Pin It\" \/><\/a><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><fb:share-button type=\"button_count\" href=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/dual-clutch-transmission-new-from-tremec\/\"><\/fb:share-button><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"horizontal\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/dual-clutch-transmission-new-from-tremec\/\" data-via=\"myrideisme\" data-text=\"Dual Clutch Transmission: New from TREMEC\"><\/a><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><div class=\"g-plusone\" data-size=\"medium\" data-annotation=\"none\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/dual-clutch-transmission-new-from-tremec\/\"><\/div><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a class=\"mr_social_share_email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Dual Clutch Transmission: New from TREMEC&amp;body=https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/dual-clutch-transmission-new-from-tremec\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-sharing-toolkit\/images\/icons_small\/email.png\" class=\"nopin\" alt=\"Email\" title=\"Email\"\/><span class=\"mr_small_icon\">Email<\/span><\/a><\/a><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"linksalpha_button linksalpha_link\" href=\"\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/social\/mobile\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/dual-clutch-transmission-new-from-tremec\/\" data-text=\"Dual Clutch Transmission: New from TREMEC\" data-desc=\"By Ben Mozart Photos by Moore Good Ink Ever heard of a \"dual clutch\"?
