DCT transmissions seem like massively precious winky snowflakes.

>creeping in traffic wears it out
>every gearshift wears it out
>forever needs updating and recalls
>not that reliable
>shit to drive fast

DCT is basicallly an executive toy - impressive in certain showoff situations, but practically useless in normal, commercial, heavy duty, or racing use.

>practically useless in racing

That's why the fastest race cars use DCTs, right?
>>
>>15364317
They are useless for most everything else but in serious racing where you swap out transmissions every so often,wear and reliability are less of an issue
>>
>>15364327
It only has to last long enough for the race to be over...

>>15364317
>faster than a manual
>wear is less than a manual creeping and in traffic
>more reliable than manual
>will last longer than manual

Manual btfo

>the Ford dct is the only dct to exist

>>15364327
Basically this. The only other use is for autocucks to constantly tell everybody "G-GUYS I DRIVE A MANUAL" even though it's just an automatic.

In actual road cars there shouldn't be anything more than a H-pattern manual or column-shift automatic.

>>15364767
>faster than a manual
Extreme generalization based on cherrypicking
>wear is less than a manual creeping and in traffic
And in the long run costs considerably more to keep maintained
>more reliable than manual
Holy fuck no
>will last longer than manual
Again holy fuck no.

it's faster to shift you can't argue that
>>
>>15364881
Doesn't mean shit when you have a torque converter and extra weight sapping power.
>>
>>15364767
Truth.

Manual is reserved for poor Mexicans that drive rusted out civics. If you own a manual and are well off you fell for the meme.

Manuals can't compete with dct. Period.

Shifts faster than humanly possible, built for racing. Manual drivers will always lose to dct no matter how good they think they are.

>>15364882
faster to shift than a manual
i don't think these have torque converter

>I have demonstrated I have no idea what the uck I'm talking about but still need to argue
>>15364897

>>15364882

Tell me more about your Civic's slushbox is literally the same thing as a McLaren DCT
>>
>>15364922
If you knew anything about DCT you'd know that there are only a handful of actual manufacturers and they outsource the parts to different respective auto manufacturers fuckin pleb.
>>
>>15364922
oh you were talking about the dct
my bad
>>
I don't know but the DSG in my little Polo 1.2 TSI is awesome.
>>
>>15364321
don't they use proper sequential transmissions
