Manual vs Dual Clutch - What's The Best Transmission?

What's The Best Transmission For A Sports Car? Manual vs DCT
Hyundai Veloster N 6MT vs N DCT - Sponsored by Hyundai.

The 2021 Hyundai Veloster N now comes with two transmission options: a 6-speed manual transmission, or an 8-speed dual clutch transmission. Which begs the question, which transmission should you pick? In this video we'll explain how manual transmissions work, as well as how dual clutch transmissions work. We'll then look at the inner workings of Hyundai's 6MT as well as their N DCT. Finally, we'll discuss the advantages of each style of transmission by looking at weight, cost, efficiency, performance, shift speed, torque delivery, driver engagement, and gear ratios.

Not gonna lie, Hyundai has done an excellent marketing job by sponsoring YouTube channels. They've got me genuinely interested in their car

The best transmission is the friends we made along the way

Ah, I missed these sorts of videos; the ones where I can misunderstand concepts and parrot them back in conversation to look smart.

Science!

Owning a DSG car, and several manual transmission cars, I love them both. The DSG is ultra fast, and blipping the paddles is oddly satisfying. Plus in traffic it's great. Obv rowing gears is it's own set of fun. Basically if you can't have fun driving either, you're not trying hard enough. Also DSG is faster ;)

At least Hyundai knows what market it needs to advertise to

Those are some excellent drawings, Jason. How on Earth do you get them looking so clean?

As a Hyundai tech, I really appreciate this video because you explain in far more detail what is going on in their DCT. We have our own training for them, but I feel like you make it much easier to understand. It's great to see Hyundai reach out to independent creators like yourself to showcase their new vehicles. I'm lucky enough to have driven a Veloster N myself, and it was an amazing ride. Awesome video!

Hi Jason—as mentioned below, your skill at white-board has been turned up to 11 on this post. The clean drawings with digital overlays has really helped me to visualize what is going on here. Always look forward to what you will tackle next!

As a senior DCT Calibration engineer, I approve this message!

I'm just waiting for James from Donut Media to pop out and start yelling about the Veloster N the whole video.

An 8-speed, dual clutch transmission is quite a feat of engineering.

[basithph]

I would still go for a manual but I would love to try out the DCT

Nice. Was fascinated by the whiteboard art. Yes, art. That one's a keeper

Every car company: This is our new dual clutch transmission.

Koenigsegg Jesko: 2 clutches? Those are rookie numbers

This explanation is excellent - great diagram reminding me that one picture is worth 1000 words.

Quite possibly the best video explaining transmission. This video should never be taken down. Been a fan for yrs but this is the first time I felt compelled to say thanks and I hope more people appreciate your work.

0.2 vs 0.5 sec isn't as big of a difference in shift time as I expected.
Personally I always prefer a manual, a car not offering a manual option is a deal beaker so it's great to see hyundai still supporting enthusiasts with their performance models!

[akshaydevmurari]

Covid is the fastest transmission though.

"They shift way faster than a human ever will"

IS THAT A CHALLENGE

Damn i felt in love with Hyundai N division since I bought my 2017 I30N!
Thanks for this crystal clear explanation!
Keep the good work, I love your content!
