Dual-Clutch Transmissions

VIDEO: Understanding Dual-Clutch Transmissions

Schaeffler offers a future-proof tool system for correct assembly and disassembly of double-clutch systems.

The dual-clutch transmission is gaining in popularity.

In addition to the established automatic transmissions and the continuously variable transmissions, the double clutch has achieved increasing market share in recent years and the trend is rising. It enables comfortable gear changes without as much parasitic drag as you would have with an automatic transmission, while reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions that you would expect from a manual transmission.
