Working of Dual Clutch Transmission (DSG)

DCTs (DSG) technology has gained a substantial market share in the recent times ( up from 3.4% to 8.5% market share in the last 5 years). This video illustrates with the help of animation why DCTs are the best transmission ever. This video also gives a brief introduction on working and drawbacks of a regular manual transmission.

We thank our current patrons for saving LE from death. To achieve our goal of 2 video release/ month (addition of one more team member), please support us at Patreon.

I swear transmissions are the hardest car component to understand! I've watched all engineering videos that explain it yet it is the only thing I fail to comprehend!

[dennisneo]

I can watch all day and still not understand how this is possible

These animations really help with understanding how vehicle transmission works.

, ,Even if your vehicle is moving forward, as long as the vehicle speed is low, you can still engage the reverse gear”

The best animation - Just purchased a new VW Polo DSG car and wow - the DSG is super smooth - I doubt I will ever go back to a normal automatic gearbox.

Had this in my 5-series, best transmission ever...gear changes are instantaneous and acceleration is amazing.

Dear friends, 3 months back we had decided to stop our video production service after the release of Transistor video. Patreon was our last resort to save LE channel. We got an amazing response from our viewers in such a short period of time and you saved this channel. In fact without your support, this video would not have released. Let's hope that we will have the resources to release 2 videos/month soon.

I love the roughness of being in a manual transmission car. Feeling the sudden lurch forwards as the clutch is pressed and power to the wheels is lost, and I think moving the gear stick around is a lot more fun than just pressing a paddle. Though practicality wise this dct is better.

With Skills USA coming up for my auto program I have been watching these videos to try to understand what I don't understand so that I can do well and it really helps, great job in every video

[Ghandara-hggc]

Thank you for making this video. After watching it 4 times, I think I understand how this works completely now.

[MidtownMeezus]

This is why I thank god that humans made cars, it’s not all materialistic....they’re works of art

[wvsky]

Excellent. I purchased a new Kona and it has this transmission that I had never heard of before. Now I know at least a little more about it.

[FlumenSanctiViti]

Videos from this channel are probably the best on YT to visually explain how transmissions work. Kudos!

[Mark-hutf]

Had a DSG on an Audi TT mk 1 3.2 and loved it.

[mythreepants]

By far the best explanation of transmissions I have ever seen

[demosteneneacsiu]

Best explanation of a dct I've seen, keep it up!

[MrBiky]

I cannot leave without pressing that appreciation button. The video about automatic transmission was over my head, but DCT seems awesome (and it is !). Thanks for the explanation.

[veritas]

Now I know why manual transmissions are the best! Thank you!

[DzekoTV]

Got DSG in my 2019Golf R and it shifts fast and smooth just love it 😊

[shelory]

Wow, for the first time I think I understand how the transmission works! I've tried to understand but never quite got it until now, thanks!
