Re: Dual Clutch

it basically selects the next gear and then when the computer tells it to it engages it. with these you have about the same hp losses as you would have with a manual but since there are more gears and 2 clutches it allows you to stay in the powerband while it shifts without ever taking power off the wheels.

i could be wrong on this but im pretty sure thats how it works.

i think the audi web site has an explanation.
