Disengaging the clutch for each shift out of, and then into, each gear is double clutching or declutching. [4] Due to the absence of a neutral spacing, double-clutching is impossible for sequential gear changes, as with a fully sequential gearbox used in motorcycles and racecars. The double-clutching technique involves the following steps:
A dual-clutch transmission (DCT) (sometimes referred to as a twin-clutch transmission) is a type of multi-speed vehicle transmission system, that uses two separate clutches for odd and even gear sets. [1] The design is often similar to two separate manual transmissions with their respective clutches contained within one housing, and working as ...
However, with a combination of clutch control and careful use of engine speed, a much smoother ride can be achieved by allowing the clutch to slip. Variations in engine revs are not immediately translated into changes in drive shaft rotation speed, but rather the friction on the clutch plate allows the drive shaft to gradually equalize with the ...
I suspect it may be "double clutch" in North America and "double declutch" in the British Empire.--Yeti Hunter 11:49, 12 June 2007 (UTC) Yep Double declutch for me, I grew up in the UK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.92.121 18:39, 1 November 2011 (UTC) Double declutch (or 'de-clutch') is right as I learned it, in UK.

With a hint of turbo lag, the engine delivered ample power on demand, while the twin-clutch transmission provided quick, crisp shifts. The X2 sounded surprisingly good in Sport Mode.
Because the Supra transmission has clutch packs, this car's been fitted with a clutch pedal that allows the driver to disconnect the engine from the wheels to do a quick rev at a stoplight or ...
The clutch pedal controls the pressure plate (clutch engaged – the clutch pedal is not being pressed) or not connected to the engine (clutch disengaged – the clutch pedal is being pressed down). When the engine is running and the clutch is engaged (i.e., clutch pedal up), the flywheel spins the clutch pressure plate and hence the transmission.
