One of these things that take time to grasp, especially when there is a shaft in another shaft, the difficult thing to understand was what is happening with the pre selected gears' shaft, I guess it continues turning freely on the other shaft, and the gears somehow are attached to inner shaft without affecting the outer.
the fact that this type of transmission produce a lot of energy loss due to it's weight and a lot of engaging parts, but why people say that i have many cons ?
Everything has losses more or less, a car weighs 1 tonne to move people who weigh only 75kg, even 5 people would be 400kg, the rest is just moving the car... small proportion of usefull load. 20kg or even 50kg of more weight of an extra clutch is not a big deal. So, the only way not having losses is not having cars... or ships, or aeroplanes... This system has marginal more losses due to weight but is more easy to use. Besides, the fast and efficient shifting that this system does maybe makes up for these losses. Learn to live with the losses. Don't worry about it. Or if you want to worry stop using everything!
@@EfficientManTo be honest, even a small amount of friction can make a significant difference over a long period. For example, a manual transmission car is lighter and has less friction, leading to better fuel economy in the long run. The European Union removed spare wheels from cars because they add extra weight. This added weight, multiplied by millions of cars, results in increased fuel consumption. Airplanes also worry about the weight of paint. They typically choose white because other colors can add weight, leading to additional costs of around 20,000 euros per year.
@@ccflanI don't know what EU did, but even if they did all these they didn't remove functional pieces of the aeroplane or car engines. DCT adds weight like an electric starter adds weight, we don't remove the starter to make the car lighter because it would be difficult to start... The air condition also adds weight and losses but we want it... Where are you going with this regulatory thing?
Thanks for PDK transmission Dual Clutch

Ehy its quite hard to understand
