Abstract:
A dual clutch transmission includes a group of odd-numbered speed drive trains, including at least a first speed drive train to be driven for setting a first speed serving as the lowest speed; a first clutch to be engaged for driving any one of the odd-numbered speed drive trains including the first speed drive train; a group of even-numbered speed drive trains, including at least a second speed drive train to be driven for setting a second speed serving as the second lowest speed; a second clutch to be engaged for driving any one of the even-numbered speed drive trains including the second speed drive train; an automatic speed control system for selecting one of all the odd-and-even numbered speed drive trains to be driven, and for selecting either the first or second clutch to be engaged for driving the selected speed drive train in correspondence to a traveling speed of a vehicle equipped with the dual clutch transmission; and a manual selection device for selecting any one of all the odd-and-even numbered speed drive trains, including the second speed drive train and excluding the first speed drive train, as a starting-and-stopping speed drive train to be driven when the vehicle starts and immediately before the vehicle stops.
