Don’t put the transmission in neutral when you come to a stop. There’s no need to do this. You may think the clutch will be partially engaged and wearing out, but the system will be sure to disengage the clutch (while keeping first gear pre-selected).
Don’t take your foot off the brake when you’re on an incline. The clutch may attempt to hold the vehicle. Unlike in an automatic transmission where you have this slip absorbed by the torque converter, this will directly cause wear on the clutch. Depending on the design, the effects can be even greater with a dry clutch, which has no oil around it. Wet clutches tend to be able to take more heat, however dry clutches are more efficient, robs less power (used on sports bikes), it weighs less, and often requires less maintenance (there’s no clutch fluid, it’s all electronically actuated on Hyundais). For Hyundai, owners are asked to inspect the fluid levels every 37,500 miles on the DCT, but there is no set time to replace fluid.
Try not to spend much time inching forward (especially while towing or on steep inclines). Stuck in traffic on a hot day, crawling up an incline at low speeds, or towing. In these scenarios, it’s best to allow yourself enough gap to get up to speed, so the clutch pack can fully engage. At low speeds while partially engaged, the clutch will heat up and can wear faster. It’s never ideal to slip a clutch, but they are designed to take wear and tear. This advice is to simply have the clutch last as long as possible.
Upshifting while braking, downshifting while accelerating. Need to understand the logic behind the system to understand why shift delays might occur. For example, driving on the highway, 4th gear, hit the brakes because someone cuts you off. Upshift and it takes longer than usual. Well because you were on the brakes the transmission might have assumed you were going to downshift next. Coming to a light, if it’s red but turns green, the system may have been attempting to disengage the clutch knowing that you were coming to a stop, so there may be a slight delay in getting power.
Don’t hold the brake and throttle long if launching the car (launching your car in general is a bad idea for longevity, but if you were to do it, know what’s happening internally). This will cause the clutch to wear, all of the heat from the engine is going into the clutch (if it’s engaged, depending on the car). From Hyundai - “The engine speed should rise and the clutch should go to a stand by position. The clutch may try to engage and if it identifies no vehicle movement it should reduce the engine speed and hold that speed until the accelerator pedal is released.”

    They do realize it. Thing is, they don't care. The more these things break, the more money goes to the dealers. That's a win for them... My biggest problem with the start stop is not the starter itself. You need a bigger battery, that will die sooner, and will be more expensive to replace. And it also doesn't help cars with dual mass flywheels. Another expensive thing that will wear out sooner when using start stop.

    auto start/stop in non hybrid vehicles is annoying and dangerous and should be eliminated or the vehicle should have the option to have it permanently disabled. Everyone I know (yeah, I know...not a good sample) hates that "feature" in their car. Plus, my car tells me at idle with the AC blasting I'm burning .4 gallons per hour. Lets assume that's accurate. Two and a half hours of idling to save one gallon of gas is a lot of damn idling for what seems, even in aggregate, to be a minimal savings. /rant

    I feel dual clutch makes more sense in Europe since you’d be surrounded by manual transmission drivers, who don’t inch along nearly as much as in North America ( watch heavy traffic videos in London). They seem to all collectively move for 40-50 feet at a time than stop with their manuals. Secondly, if you live in Europe or Germany driving a VW DSG for example it would probably cost you half as much to repair relatively speaking. I’m sure dsg repair in U.S, Canada or India for example costs an arm and a leg.

    Jason congrats on this awesome video. I totally agree with everything you say, but the thing is that I have a motorcycle with an automatic DCT transmission and I can feel that when I am stopped at the lights with first gear engaged it is constantly trying to pull forward. It's just a little bit, barely noticeable, but is there. So just in case I always select neutral when at the lights or at any significant stopped time, even with the fact that the manufacturer says not related recommendation at the user manual, just to prevent any long term wear to the clutches, specially to the first gear one.

    Good video! Stuff I already knew, being familiar both with the mechanics and the programming logic, but really glad to see this info getting out there in an easy to digest format. Many people I talk to driving dual clutch cars and not realizing that it IS NOT the same as an automatic. Then they wonder why the clutch pack is shot in 30k miles, and they think it’s a bad car... when no, it’s the automotive equivalent of PEBKAC. ;-) While I am a manual aficionado, having driven a couple of Porsche PDKs and VW DSGs, I can see the appeal for the more engaged driver who doesn’t necessarily want to (or maybe can’t due to disability) work the third pedal. I find they are vastly superior for an enthusiast driver than a torque converter slushbox or a super-slush CVT. They have the direct engaged feeling of a manual, and I really like that as a driver.

    I've discovered that my Renault Megane isn't experiencing wild Turbo Lag. Each one of your descriptions happen on occasion like pulling up to a Give Way sign and then flooring it and getting nothing. The clutch has disengaged expecting a stop, just as at the same moment that you have decided to go, or there's a slight slipping when you're edging forward to enter a roundabout and you are just starting to apply some power. To be honest this is a real relief and I know to modify my driving to better suit the Car.

    Very interesting because there were several issues you described that are not the same with a PDK double clutch transmission. First, the RPM will rise to about 3500 RPM and stay there until you release the brake. Next, Porsche says there is no limit to how many times you can do this in a row without over temping the system. It would be interesting if they would talk to you after you drive a 991.1 Porsche to see the difference. The 991.2 is turbo charged so it may be different there.

    The flaw in these transmissions is when you are coasting along at about 40 mph and it predicts that the next change will be up. You suddenly need a quick burst of power when you get an opportunity to overtake and the delay is terrifying. These systems are considered unsafe to use in high speed police pursuit vehicles for that reason. Ambulance drivers are having the same problem.

I totally agree that, but car's hesitation and jerkIness happens at slow bumper to bumper traffic [ONLY AFTER SPIRITED DRIVING (SAY 30 MINS)] this madness happens once tranny oil attains certain temperature. Something in mechatronic not function right when oil is warm or hot. There is absolutely no hesitation or jerkIness in transmissions, when oil is cold. Rather than expensive fix of replacing mechatronic unit I will go with cheaper fix. Do you think it should be great idea to install a aftermarket DSG oil cooler? Do you think it will work?

    I noticed the same effect with my late Golf 6 GTI. The technical reason was that switching to neutral turned the hydraulics pump off that provides the oil pressure for the clutch packs. If switching to neutral was harmful this setting wouldn't exist or would be blocked like switching to reverse while driving. The only thing that could happen in my opinion is that turning off the oil pump on a boiling hot gearbox could lead to overheating since the oil is not only hydraulics medium but also cooling medium.

    Dual Clutch is a lot more like a traditional manual transmission. They generally use heliacal gears. The big difference is that you have 2 shafts, one inside another. these 2 shafts have the cogs for every other gear. So the inner shaft might have 1, 3, 5, 7 and the outer will have 2, 4, 6. The transmission uses small motors to move sleeves which can pre-engage 2 gears at once. For example sitting at a stop both 1st and 2nd gear will be engaged. Now to connect that to the engine, you have 2 clutches, one for each shaft. When you hit the gas, the computer engages the clutch for 1st gear, then once it comes time for 2nd, it releases the first clutch and engages the 2nd. Once the 2nd clutch is engaged, a motor moves the sleeve from 1st gear and pre-engages 3rd. Then when it comes time to shift from 2nd to 3rd, it simply releases the 2nd clutch and engages the 1st again.

What if you are slowing down to park in your garage when suddenly you see a speeding, reckless driver barreling towards you and there is a possibility of him T-boning you, the instinct is to step on the gas to move away from the speeding car. If there is a half second delay, isn't that the difference between a bad accident and a close call?

    I’ve had a Dual Clutch Transmission Honda motorcycle for 4 years now and really like it. The bike accelerates quicker and gets up to speed a lot quicker I could shifting through the gears. The great thing is that you only need to do is hold the throttle open the whole time. There are two automatic modes, D-Mode for economy, S-Mode for sport and a MT-Mode for Manual operation. There are paddle shifters on the left control pod easily accessible using your index finger and thumb. The clutches full disengage when at a stop with some resistance to prevent the bike to roll back easily. Some careful throttle twisting can simulate feathering the clutch, once you get the hang of it.

    Jason, my experience with my ‘13 S4 is clutch is the clutch is binary, either disengaged when brake on or, upon releasing brake, quickly fully engaged. Engagement does not seem to use any slipping mode, counting on the low 1st ratio to make the transition smooth enough. Fly is when you hit the gas quickly in an up hill scenario, then engine speed gets elevated above idle before the clutch closes, resulting in a jerk motion. Also about no slip evident in a launch (only did that once!) as pretty violent on the drive train when no wheel spin to absorb the overload.

    You mean you have just a transmission, right? XOXO

    Interestingly, F1 cars don't have dual clutch transmissions (they are banned). They have single clutch transmissions which are just synchronised to shift really fast. (You get a gear soup of broken bits if the synchronisation is off!)

    Always driven a manual but very interesting nonetheless. Can you explain the purpose/benefit of Honda's triple clutch 11 speed gearbox and whether you think it will ever see the light of day, especially as DCT's seem to be out of favour a little. Why are DCT's out of favour since they came on strong due to the benefit to economy?

    Hi, thanks for the informative video but I have a question. Recently I just bought a 2013 Hyundai Veloster, it has DCT and I'm hearing a clunking noise when I attempt to stop the vehicle at low RPM, is that something normal to hear in a Dual Clutch Transmission? I hope you answer my question because I'm really concerned about this clunking noise!

    Best video I whatched about dual clutch's vehicles. What your opinion about Ford Powershift transmission?
