But it's not an automatic. It's an automated manual tranny.

One thing not mentioned is that when in D for example, when you move to Sequential Shift Mode (or manual), the car will continue to stay in manual mode until you physically push the shift lever rightwards to bring it back to D. Also, anytime you use the +/- (stalk or paddles) the car automatically goes into manual mode and stays in manual mode until it is physically taken out of manual mode. I actually love the DCT when used with the +/- function on the stalk. Not so much using the paddles.

Thanks for the tip, good to know.

To clarify, the three gear change settings effect what gear it holds for a given speed in auto, kickdown and very slightly but not much on the shift up if at full throttle as that is always maximum acceleration in any auto settings. The same three settings also effect the quickness and therefore harshness of manual shifts when paddle shifting as it does to slightly improved the maximum acceleration in D2 and D3 automatic mode. Care need be taken to not accidentally engage manual from automatic with an unintended press of ether paddle when driving this DCT.

...wow...took this long to finally find a video like this...seen a few BMW's with the Manual looking gearboxes and i figured they were manual and not DTC

The speed settings on the gear have any role on manual shift mode or no? Because if you go to M button it has d1 d2 d3 for auto mode and s1 s2 and s3 for manual mode. What's the purpose of this if it's in manual mode?

Thank you very much friend, you got me out of trouble.👍

When you switch off your DCT M car in neutral which activates the fault message, you don't have to restart the engine to put the gear to D/R, you just need to press the "start/stop" button again with foot off any pedal. The car will automatically engage Park.

How do you make it downshift aggressively which makes the engine roar

@ECPP

4 жыл бұрын

Lever

As a life long manual driver this all seems very complicated and confusing. Once it's in manual mode will it sometimes take over and try to over ride you sometimes or second guess what you want to do? Also I would have thought pulling back should shift down and pushing forward should shift up - can you change it? Are autos much less annoying in traffic jams? What is the procedure for using one in traffic jams?

@visionist7

Жыл бұрын

In full manual mode it will downshift to stop you stalling but it won't upshift if you redline it - you have full control there. Also, having the lever back for upshifts and forward for downshifts is the race car layout (Porsche do it too). It follows the natural rhythm of the car's motion; towards the motion of acceleration when upshifting (pushing you into your seat) and deceleration when downshifting. These are the things that set a proper sports car apart from comfort cars like Mercedes or Audi. In traffic jams you apply the brake pedal and the car will stop, and you shift to neutral in one quick & easy motion of the lever if you don't wanna stand on the brakes whilst waiting, and back again for auto or manual when setting off. A hair of throttle is necessary to get going again, DCTs don't automatically "creep" like a slushbox auto. One thing Mercedes gets right is the "hold" function on their conventional automatics, which lets you release the brake pedal but the brakes stay applied (brake lights dim to not blind cars behind) until you feather the throttle, whereupon the car will crawl forward as long as you lightly hold the throttle and automatically brake again when you come off the pedal. I got used to it in an hour or so coming from only manual cars my whole life.

@TheFilwud

Жыл бұрын

@@visionist7 My 2016 530d also does that, with the 8 speed ZF transmission, it has auto-hold. if selected, when you brake to a halt it will automatically keep the brake applied until you touch the throttle to move again, works well with the starty stoppy engine thing if you so desire as well. Or you can turn auto-hold off and have the car creep whenever you release the brake as is normal for a torque converter box.

I just go a 2016 M4 with DCT. When the car stops it does not crawl forward like a normal automatic. This could be a problem when parking. Am I missing something?

@ECPP

5 жыл бұрын

This is normal since the DCT is more like a manual and operates dufferentoy. You need to get some throttle input to move with these.

@Tangent360

5 жыл бұрын

To creep forward you just need to give the gas a very slight tap. There's no need to stay on the throttle, just give it that tap. It'll maintain a relatively slow creep forward (or backwards if you're in reverse of course) just like an automatic until you come to a full stop again or give it more gas to start moving faster. Be aware that on a cold start when the engine is revving higher that creep can be surprisingly fast if you're not ready for it.

@kenfldude

4 жыл бұрын

Excellent advice by tangent 360, you will need to be careful on inclines and declines as well. The dct will hold your position for 2 secs and then will roll. Unlike a torque converter transmission that holds you in place. There is a learning curve to the dct but well worth it in performance.
