Several manufacturers also offer a CVT gearbox, another variation that complicates things further still. But what do the names mean and how do they work?
Are DSG transmissions better than manual gearboxes?
Modern DSG units provide better fuel efficiency than even the manual gearboxes. The DCT is a dry transmission that does not need the driver to change the gearbox fluid ever. It leaves the clutches dry and wears out their frictional quality eventually. The results are abrupt shifts, slow responses to gear shifting, and jerky transmission.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of manual gearbox?
Advantages: The automated manual gearbox is very simple to drive because it has just accelerator and brake pedals like a conventional auto. Disadvantages: The engine’s electronics must oversee quite a complicated process. And frequently the result is a slow, jerky gear change as they juggle their various tasks.
Should I buy a CVT or a Direct Shift Gearbox?
For keen drivers, the direct shift gearbox is the way to go. A CVT simply won’t be engaging enough and an automated manual will change gear too slowly. For regular drivers, the traditional auto is probably the best bet.
