   Historically, a dual-clutch transmission shifts faster than a standard hydraulic automatic transmission with a torque converter or a single-clutch automated manual transmission. This is possible because the DCT can pre-select the next gear and transfer torque from one clutch to the next clutch with the pre-selected next gear, thus reducing ...
