I've driven a GTI with a DSG for almost 5 years, thousands and thousands of miles. It has been one of the best transmissions I have ever had, and this is coming from someone who swore by manual only.

[_]

3 things I learned from scotty :
1. go toyota
2. prefer manual transmissions
3. avoid the endless money pits

[Tiagotaf]

I have a dual clutch car, the hardest part is to change gears with two clutch pedals...

[geoffjefferson]

Dual Clutch Transmission
3:19 alot heavier than a normal transmission.
3:38 more expensive to repair....and they break down quite a bit.
4:46 slushy at lower speeds.
5:08 Ford has a class action pending against them for the dual clutch transmission.
5:34 Scotty would never buy one (DCT) & wouldn't advise someone to buy one.

Thanks for valuable advise Scotty!

Rev up your engines...I mean not too much that'll cause some reeeal expensive damage and no one wants that. Ha!

Tested a car with DCT and later one with Torque Converter. Glad that I went with the first car. Not that there is something wrong with TC, just prefer the feel of DTC more, despite jerkines at low speed.
After 5 years and 65k km, still feels great.
Summary: If you fear the transimission unit malfunction, or you consider yourself "Hard-core driver" - get the manual. But if you want auto-transmission and are willing to accept that things can go wrong at some point, DCT is a great transmission to have.

I'm very happy with the 6-speed manual in my 370Z sport coupe. The transmission has an interesting feature called "Synchro Rev Match that will automatically adjust the engine speed on upshifts or down shifts so as to match gear speeds on the intermediate and output shafts. This results in very smooth gear changes. This is technology put to good use and not just a marketing gimmick.

Paddle shifters got me through my mid-life crisis.

[marwanhussien]

I like how scotty wiggles his arm when he mentions stick shifts/standard transmissions😂😂😂

[jdjunaidi]

I'll take a DCT over a CVT any day.

Advertisement: Chrysler is so good and a great value.
Scotty literally right after advertisement ends: Chrysler is junkkk.

[thrpins]

I buy 5/6 speed for the fun factor it feels like your more connected to the car makes you more mindful of driving situations to because you have to be ready to shift

[mike-uwwt]

BMW DCT and Porsche PDK are known to be really reliable. Amazing transmissions.

[juanital.]

I love the dct in my Acura! 230k miles, 15 years old & going strong!

[EddieLeal]

Ford did this apparently to have a car that saved on gas. This DCT alledgedly did this. In a way it did. It spent more time in the shop than it did out on the road burning gas. lol! Nice job Ford!

[CodyDoesIt]

I watch Scotty viedos then replay them later for an older friend who is like a father to me. We love to watch Scotty videos every time we hang out and have some Svodka

*Dont let this distract you from the fact that the new Koenigsegg Jesko has 7 clutches.... let that sink in*

Scotty is referencing old information, many years ago when they first came out DCT's were problematic. They have sorted all that out for the past 10-15 years. I have an eight year old GTI DCT with over 150, 000 miles, and it drives great, never a single issue with the transmission. And I drive that thing hard every chance I get, I even took it to several DE days (road course track driving). The only thing is I change fluids religiously at about half the mileage VW recommends. I bought it when it was a year old and already had 20K on it.
Come to think of it, the only issues I have had were a leaking water pump, wheel bearings (twice), ignition coils, and I put new shocks on it at around 120K. But it has never left me stranded and it is a fun practical car. These days DCT's are very reliable, drive great, are only about 50 lbs more than a standard (and the same as a regular auto), accelerate faster and provide better gas mileage. And the cost of repair is only slightly more than a regular auto/manual. The two potential failures is the clutch packs or the control unit, and either can be replaced for around $1K to $2K, not much more than a standard transmission repair cost, and they are very reliable so...

Scotty, how much ethanol did you drink before filming?
