A lot of the info is GTR specific BMW DCTs do not perform the same way In manual mode the car will not creep forward, and on a hill with foot off brakes, it will actually roll forward/backwards depending on the incline/decline You would have to tap the brakes to engage forward creep mode, it's essentialy in Neutral bottom line is it acts just like a manual would unless you engage forward assist and or in gear

[@Baerchenization]

And even then I am not sure it is the right advice, at least for all. Porsche's PDK also starts creeping and there it is a "feature" that it will even start creeping on a slight uphill. Also, e.g. in the newer 911 turbo, it will actually slip between gears to save fuel.

[@vid2ification]

The DPS6 however, isn't manual transmission. It is not an automatic transmission either. What DPS6 transmission truly is something completely unique. This revolutionary transmission is the result of Ford having such explosive diarrhea with the consistency of ravioli noodles in coagulated tomato paste with metal shavings, it has caused Ford to end production on most of their products. A remarkably innovative strategy by Ford to put the DPS6 in so many of their already poorly designed and poorly manufactured vehicles for so many years in an attempt to standardize their marketing scheme of bafflingly inflated prices and remarkably poor quality. Ford is a legend because of this, and will prove to be an incredible story of an innovative and progressive influence at the beginning of an automotive age as well as the innovative regression of their own era. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You need to put the car in N at a stop light. If in the dash it shows 1 that means you are in gear and will wear the clutches

No you don't. The computer programing disengages the clutch during a stop. Thats why when you take your foot off the brake, you then feel the clutch reengage. So you can keep it in gear. If your foot is off the brake, the transmission will be engaged. So if your holding the brake, the car is effectively in N

[@barron204]

I never knew about the hill start issue. Makes sense. I drove a few VWs with DSG (Transporter, Golf) and they would rattle very loudly on hill starts and in wet conditions when there was a chance of wheel slipping. The weight and stress would cause the clutches to slip and I get that now.

[@iqbalarman3819]

Why it vibrates in 1st? Its got your biting point of the clutch. And you never put your foot on accelerator when shifting thats money shifts. As you brake/slow down match the wheel speed with correct gear for a flat road ie 1st equals 0-15 kmph 2nd equals 10-20,3rd equals 20-40,4th equals 40-60 and 60+ is top gear doesnt matter 5th or 6th. This enables you to use Your engine efficiently with proper power output.and be on a lower gear 1 then 2 in uphill if speed is maximum of 50 kmph or 3 if speed is maximum of 90 or 4th if speed is maximum of 140 anything more just use top gears. Never overtake on high gears its Ok to use 3rd in 110 kmph for overtaking only. As long as the tachometer stays in safe position such as 2/3000 less than redline.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Even my Genesis Coupe that had an automatic did that. So idk. In a DCT you need to keep your foot on the accelerator between shifts. This is not a manual tranmission. Great tips tho

[@johnburden9109]

1) I didn't even know they made the GTR in automatic :D 2) I had a 2015 ford focus that was totaled due to hail damage. I drove it like you say and it was a fine car. Never had problems with it. Just picked up a 18 focus and it started out with the same deal, but then it started doing something else. From first gear, it would rev up to 5500 to 6 thousand rpm before it would try to shift. Taking foot off gas didn't help. Would just start to slowly wind down. Then up again when I hit the gas. Then it would violently shift into 3rd or 4th, not sure which and RPM would drop to under 1k as I was trying to accelerate. Then would jerk and into lower gear and rev high and it was just trash all around. The only way to "fix" it was to shut the car off completely and restart. After 2 or 3 tries, it drove normally again. Only correct way to drive this car was straight back to the dealership where I bought it. Now it's sitting there while they attempt to diagnose it. Dude said they "replaced the transmission fluid and cleaned the screen" and they're hoping that fixes it. lol.....

The R35 has been out since 2007 lol. It's only ever had a 6 speed DCT auto. Hopefully that fixes it! Seems like an issue overall with the transmission or the computer for the transmission

[@LoveLikeaHurricane]

clutches are disengaged when brakes are applied at a stop...but your throwout bearing is under pressure. Which is equivalent to holding your clutch pedal down at a stop light. Replacing those parts will require opening the transmission.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah that would be a pain in the butt to have to replace

[@MrShezi2243]

Very informative video. Just a suggestion/ question..... If u r stuck uphill in traffic, u shud use brake hold and shift to L gear so that only one clutch engages. U shud also not creep bumper to bumper but let some distance build yp and then move

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

You can't actually do that technically. If you leave the gear selector in what would be Drive, at a stop with your foot on the brake it will be in a neutral state till you take your foot of the brake. The odd clutch would be the only one engaging since 1st gear is the lowest it goes. But up hill in traffic I would avoid creeping and leave some distance in front.

your car vibrates at full stops because alot of new cars not only disengage the transmission they also tend to run on less cylinders while at idle... My VW Jetta 1.4t actually runs on 2 cylinders at idle in gear or not until the vehicle reaches 1400rpm and also does so at certain cruising speeds to reduce fuel consumption which can cause a tad bit of vibration when this occurs. This is common place with newer vehicles with Direct port injection and its coded into the engine management im sure a tune can bypass or rectify that issue but at the cost of fuel consumption... Just a theory but highly plausible depending upon the vehicle...automakers are being forced to make cars consume less fuel due to clean air legislation and many automakers if they dont comply will be two sheets to the wind... Too long bending the will of OPEC, we could have had these same vehicle fuel consumption years ago... The carbureted civic was able to get 50+ miles a gallon in the 70'-80's but carmakers refused to adopt fuel savings when building engines for the kickbacks they got from OPEC and lobbyists... damn shame

I am not suprise if you complain about vibraation on Toytota, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru they suffer from low quality in electric unlike Hyundai motor group they provide best electric quality in their cars.

[@junior281991]

DO put it in neutral while at a stop for a long time. When you are stopped the transmission stays in 1st year ready to roll and holding the clutch ready for when you let off the brake. If you put it in neutral it takes it out of gear and releases the clutch so it’s not holding it. The module/actuators the engage/disengage the clutches are no longer working if it’s in neutral so they dont keep heating up.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Sometimes I'll put in in neutral just so it idles smoother. It's designed to be able to be left in gear. So I'll do either

[@hoodio]

the steering wheel vibrates because of resonance frequency, in idle (not in all cars) the motor basically shakes the steering wheel at the frequency it would naturally vibrate at if you hit it, this makes it shake a lot more than when the motor is at any other rpm ie not shaking the steering wheel at the frequency it would naturally vibrate at

Customers who buy cars with automated clutches really should be told that they can’t be driven like normal automatic transmissions.

They have tech in torque converter cars that give amazing efficiency

Most non performance cars don’t have dual clutches, however going under 5mph won’t hurt anything. But the constant stop and go and inching forward in traffic would, but that would take tons of miles!

[@feloniousmonk3049]

The fact that when you shift from Neutral to Drive (1st) and your rpms drop is indicating the engine is working harder... due to very slight clutch drag. To say otherwise is ignorant. The RPMS drop for a reason, and you need to explain what that reason is. and the reason is the clutch plates are slipping, even though there is no forward motion. To demonstrate, put your car up in the air and put the car in "Drive" with the brakes off, and observe if the wheels start spinning. If they start spinning the clutch is dragging, putting pressure on the flywheel and spinning the whole driveline. If the wheels are spinning, then the clutch is dragging on the flywheel at idle while in "Drive" mode.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah obviously the wheels will spin with your foot off the break. The GTR and most other cars have a sensor to where when the brake is on, the clutches are disengaged. Once you let off the brake it engages the clutch

So you discussed creeping forward a foot here, a foot there. But what about creeping for long distances? For example, in a car with an automatic or CVT, I tend to creep through parking lots. I take my foot off both pedals and I hover my foot over the brake in case someone suddenly jumps out from between two cars, or in case a parked car suddenly pulls out. So I'll coast through the entire parking lot with neither brake nor accelerator engaged. And I do the same thing in my driveway. I have a long, narrow driveway that is walled in by my house and a fence. It is just barely wide enough for a car to fit without scraping the house or the fence, so I'll go through the driveway slowly by creeping, with my foot off the accelerator, and just hovering over the brake. Can I do that with a DCT, or will that damage the DCT?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thats no problem. That's not actually 'creeping'. Thats just letting the clutch engage and letting it properly work at its slowest speed. No issue. Creeping is more of on and off the break. So the clutch will be constantly disengaging and reengaging. So you'll be good!

So the last few times I've driven, I've been paying more attention to how I use to brake to see if I've ever been brake creeping. And I realized that while I almost never brake creep in traffic, I do seem to brake creep a lot in reverse. My driveway is extremely long and narrow, and it's bounded on either send by my house and a fence, so the idle reverse speed is too fast to safely navigate it. Instead, to travel down my driveway, I've noticed I've been lightly depressing the brake so that the car reverses slowly rather than at full speed. How bad would this be for a DCT? Is brake creeping bad in reverse too? And if it is bad, is there another way to reverse more slowly than the idle reverse speed?

When I first start out, similar to a manual there's a half second or so where the car rolls backwards and that doesn't damage the DCT like it would a torque converter. I'm wondering though if the computer is smart enough to disengage the transmission when it detects a spin or if it'll rip itself apart. I know obviously the GTR and the Veloster aren't similar, but I'm just trying to get some basic info about if I can spin my V in the snow without the DCT tearing itself up.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I don't think you'd have an issue just having some fun. If you were just going full throttle abusing the car for a long duration, maybe. But a couple spins in the snow shouldn't do anything. I had some fun in the snow in the GTR. kzbin.info/www/bejne/foGbnpd3a52Ko6c

[@sethg1338]

Your first point I was confused do you mean don’t brake your car continuously while on an incline ? Does that also apply to declines ? And if you have to park on incline, is it better to also use to parking brake ?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Basically when you park. Keep your foot on the brake when you put the transmission into park, then pull the Ebrake, then take your foot off the foot brake. Then shut it off. That way the weight of the car is actually on the Ebrake, not the transmission

[@juandrelouw6832]

Dont forget to get up to temprature on trans for launch

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

This was really helpful, thanks .. pls share a video on how to use paddle shifters when driving up or downhill

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Glad you enjoyed the video! You pretty much use them the same as on flat ground. up shift when you need to and downshift when you need to

[@Motorsports_3]

Basically when ur driving uphill try to be in the lowest gear possible like around 3-4k rpms depending how much gas ur going to be using and when driving downhill its kind of the same just stay in a low gear so the car is engine braking or if u up shift to a high gear you'll feel like if the car is in neutral

[@250tsar]

@@Motorsports_3 I thought it would be better to use high gears to go uphill and still be around 3-4K rpm?

[@Motorsports_3]

@@250tsar yeah could it just depends on the car u have. Like I have an e92 m3 so if I'm going up hill and am around 40mph I would be in 3rd gear or 2nd because I would be around 5k rpms because that's where u really feel the power in that car. If I were in 5th or 6th gear going up hill I would not have any torque to move the car fast or safely up hill.

[@JuanGarcia-zq5tp]

I have a Kia Forte GT with the dct. When I have the shifter in manual mode and upshift early under hard acceleration it has massive wheelspin on the upshift. When it upshifts on auto mode it never spins. Does this happen to anyone else that drives a dual clutch front drive car?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Maybe you're shifting right as the full boost kicks in? A car like that will have more torque down low then it does top end HP. So that could be it

[@curt2233]

Exactly what he said shift before 3k if ur cruising turbos rpm 3k-4 45k hp rpm is 5k-6k so ur shifing as the turbo is spinning ride it out until 4k or 5k shift for DCT

[@Pritam043]

Can we shift to manual mode while the car speed is fast ? Or it should be done in slow speed ?

[@longtruong4090]

My GTR has a rough downshift from 3rd to 2nd when I let car downshift. I can feel the car jerk most of the time. Anyone have this problem? Also, since the car has shift-logic and shifts slower when you gas and down-shift, the best way to get to a lower gear and accelerate is to brake and down-shift?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

idk why yours would be jerky. But if your on the brakes it'll downshift quicker. ON the gas pedal it will be delayed if you downshift.

it could just be the shifting down when at higher revs, combined with not being braking so it isn't lining up 2nd? This can happen in my Golf R32 as well.

[@AllGoodDays1]

In regards to shifting when in "manual" mode. Does shifting the slower way damage the vehicle?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Not at all. The car is designed to do this

[@ericw.1620]

Basically what's happening is that in a DCT, there are essentially 2 separate gearboxes, one that has the even gears and one that has the odd. If you're in, for example, gear 3, only the odd gearbox would be engaged. This lets the computer preselect the next gear as the even gearbox is disengaged. If you're on the gas, the computer thinks you're gonna upshift so in this case, it would preselect gear 4 in the even gearbox. If you instead downshift, the computer has to first move the even gearbox from gear 4 to gear 2 and then shift, leading to the longer shift times. This happens in reverse for when you're on the brake.

[@T818-z5d]

What if i put it to L and then crawl/inch forward... will it still wear and tear the transmission?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

There is no L. In traffic just try and keep your speed at least consistent. Rather then stop and go stop and go

How does auto start stop and auto Hill hold affect the hill hold situation, can I hold the brake until the car auto turns off the engine and leave it there? Does the start stop mechanism also disengage the clutch/transmission?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

If a car has the auto start stop. It'll shut the engine off at a stop. But once your foot comes off the brake it'll start back up. If the car has hill hold too that might be 50/50. My Supra has auto hill assist. But the engine will start back up if I take my foot of the brake. If it has the actual button for the brake hold, it might leave the engine off until you hit the gas pedal

[@jacksonhuang2009]

But bro idk why some of the dual clutch car and some of the torque converter automatic when you activated the launch control they even don't say in the indicator that the launch control is ready I know that you can feel it but is much better to have a indicator that says launch control ready rather than feel it cause it's much easier to go than when you feel it

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah some cars just have it to where it says its ready. The GTR, You know if its working since the revs hold at 4k and the car doesnt move. Other cars if its not working you'll feel the car trying to search forward. Once you get used to doing launch control you can quickly tell if its working. If the GTR isnt warmed up it won't engage launch. And the RPM will stop at 2k and the car will feel like its trying to move.

[@eddienava]

Youre actually NOT supposed to downshift at all at any high speeds(read the user manual) . But we do it anyway.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

To an extent, obviously don't go into 1st gear going 60 mph, but if you keep the rpm range where it should be, downshifting is perfectly fine and won't hurt the engine.

[@Baerchenization]

That is nonsense. Which page of the owners manual is that? The engine has a rev limiter. If down shifting would exceed the max revs, it simply would not perform the shift. For example with PDK, if you are in 7th gear and floor it hard, it will jump straight in to 2nd, if only to rev out the last few mph of 2nd gear. Btw I am saddened to hear he is worried that his gearbox might explode when doing a 0-60 run lol. Porsche guarantee 3,000 launches before a service is needed, not before the box explodes ;)

Like wtf? How difficult could it be to ignore the shift command, if the revs would over rev the engine? FAIL :) (I am looking at page 5-21 of the 2019 manual).

@@BrosFOURRSpeed I had it cleared and it came back. It may just be coincidental that it happened after that.

And when I switch it over to manual shift, it doesn’t work anymore. It just stays as automatic.

A dual clutch is not considered a manual at all, you can drive in normal mode all day long, you never even have to use the paddles if you don't want to, it's an "automatic" as far as just using the gas and brake like another car. You have the option to use the paddles shifters as needed and it's the same as driving in auto, expect you can control the gear. It's just like driving an automatic, it's not a manual at all. It just has clutches in the transmission rather then a torque converter like a traditional automatic

Thank you

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

The transmission should be disengaged when you are at a stand still with your foot on the brake. As soon as you take your foot off the brake, the transmission will engage and that's why you move forward. Try coming to a stop, and if you feel the vibration, quickly take your foot off the brake and then press the brake again. Sometimes that helps. Every now and then I'd put the GTR in N at a stop too. Wonder if there are any adjustments to the computers you can make to adjust the clutch touch points. I ended up being able to adjust the transmission in mine once I started tuning the car

Can anyone tell that how a wet DCT responds while moving down hill for a longer time while bolding brakes. Will it disengage the clutch and set the car free or will it continue to provide engine braking downhill?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I want to say the clutches will stay engaged the whole time. But you can feel it let the car coast. I think depending on the speed you're going it'll re engage to engine brake and hold a speed close to what you're going. But it will let you coast a bit

[@Sparky-ww5re]

You can watch the tachometer, if the car has one. If the revs stay around normal cruising speed, the clutch is engaged and provides engine braking. If it goes down to idle speed, its disengaged.

[@ianfossett4482]

In manual mode you will get engine braking like a manual box . The DCT has two concentric clutches only one is engaged at any given time one clutch controls the odd number gears one does the even number gears one clutch is ALWAYS engaged a computer predicts what gear you will need next and preselects the gear so when the computer shift to the next gear it does so very rapidly , less than a tenth of a second . In auto the hill decent is controlled by you braking just like an automatic transmission. In manual mode it behaves like a manual transmission if you downshift with the paddles the lower gear will slow the vehicle augmented by useing the brakes.

[@TheBulbul1234]

I have a question. Is there any problem if we coast with a DCT car? Or it will be good as it's providing regenerative braking?

There's no point to coast since it just disengages the clutch if you mean putting into neutral, and regenerative braking is only on electric cars for the most part and some hybrids.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I wouldn't do that. The GT500 is already rev matching each downshift. But you're messing with the shift logic. When you're coasting or on the brakes, the next gear down is already engaged with it's clutch to be shifted into. So when you hit the gas and downshift, the car thinks the next gear will be one higher. So it'll be delayed a bit.
