5 Things You Should Never Do In A Dual Clutch Transmission Car 5 Things You Should Never Do Playlist - https://goo.gl/SxoUi7 Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 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.” And don't forget to check out my other pages below!

so basically its a way over complicated automatic transmission....
-
I'm glad my Mercedes can hold the brakes for me during traffic stop, incline or decline. Dual clutch cla45
-
What's the use of the neutral in an automatic transmission car?
-
5:13 "It may think..."....." It thinks...."..... I thought computers were supposed to be fixing human error, but this kinda proves we still need some human input, right???

Icabod Crane is gonna need a PDK to get laid.

wow i never knew these about dual clutch transmissions. always thought they were flawless and superhero tier tech. but i guess a dual clutch in a sports car wont be the same as in an eco car. so i shouldnt worry.
-
For example, when we got sufficient speed and we are approaching a red light. Can we put the car into neutral and roll then brake to a stop at the lights?

Does ford engineer smart enough to realize that? Because I have to change clutch on my dry dual clutch ford every 1 damn year since I bought it brand new, otherwise the shuddering just make it like driving rotten truck.

I have a 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan, And I have read some forums and people have been saying that they paid anywhere from $230 to $575 for a dsg transmission fluid and filter change. I only have 23,000 miles, and am not up for one until 40,000 but is it reasonable or is the actual cost much lower.
Thanks for any help!! -
triptonic like mazda 3 2004 model , what does it have? dual clutch?
when i put in manual mode coz im using auto matic triptonic transmission manual and auto mode, using manual mode im in 2nd gear slowing down not using brake it has harsh downshift going to 1st... like metal to metal... what does it cause -
I'm driving Hyundai accent dct 2016. Down Hill zigzag question is can I use as a engine brake this dct transmission
-
nice hyundai ... @_@
-
Good information! Most of these newer vehicles have Hill Start Assist now that leaves the clutch disengaged and holds the brakes for you until you accelerate going forward.

I was caught in snow and stop and go traffic, lot of breaking and going slow, all the sudden got a warning tone and message the my transmission was over heating. Called the dealer they told me to leave space between me and the car in front of me to fully engage the clutch or to pull the car over and let it cool down for 20 minutes. Say what? That just seems to be a design flaw, did they not take in to consideration a lot of consumers buying these are city drivers in lots of stop and go traffic. Had I know this I would have thought twice about buying the car. Love it otherwise but this is a big issue. I worry what kind of damage this causes over time.
-
Wow, so basically don't drive this transmission in NYC or New Jersey during rush hour. The whole drive you inch forward in those places.
-
You should have realized this video on a Porsche PDK, Volkswagen DSG or Audi S-Tronic... not a Hyundai!!!
-
CVT.
-
The thumbnail image looks like the paddle shifters on a brz/frs, but those don't have a DCT...

I drive a 25 year old 1991 honda civic 5 speed manual and ive never had a problem with it it works every day, yet these brand new hyunda tucsons cant drive 2 weeks without the transmission failing! what a pile of junk they need to get rid of those transmissions.

if you come to a complete stop in a higher gear, will the vehicle stall? Will the car shift up/down automatically in sport mode if I don't do it? Could you redline the engine if you don't shift?
