Many modern ‘automatic’ vehicles are now equipped with a Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). Unlike traditional torque-converter automatics, a DCT operates using two separate clutches – one for odd gears and one for even gears – allowing for faster, smoother gear changes and improved fuel efficiency.
In essence, a DCT combines the efficiency and control of a manual transmission with the convenience of an automatic. Depending on the design, these systems use advanced clutch and gear actuators or an integrated mechatronic control unit to manage gear selection seamlessly.
Dual clutch systems are widely used across major brands, including:
- Volkswagen Audi Group (Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, Škoda)
- Kia
- Hyundai
- Ford
- Renault
- Peugeot
- MINI
At our workshop, we specialise in the testing, diagnosis, and repair of all common Dual Clutch Transmission systems. With the right tools, expertise, and experience, we can efficiently identify faults and carry out repairs – often getting you back on the road within just one to two days.
