Most people know that cars come with two basic transmission types. Manual and automatic. In manual the driver needs to change gears by depressing a clutch pedal and using a stick shift.

In Automatics, the transmission will change gears for you automatically based on driving conditions, meaning you never have to think about which gear to use.

But there's also something in between that offers the best of both worlds, known as the dual-clutch transmission. In this video, we are taking a look at these different car transmission types.

Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT): A dual-clutch transmission closely resembles a manual transmission but uses two clutches to synchronize gear changes instead of one. Each clutch operates a different set of gears one controls the even-numbered gears while the other controls the odd-numbered gears.

Multimode Manual Transmission (MMT): A type of automated manual transmission used by Toyota. The Multimode Manual Transmission (MMT) is a type of transmission system used in certain Toyota vehicles. Unlike a traditional manual transmission, where the driver manually operates the clutch pedal and gear stick, the MMT system incorporates automated technology to handle these functions electronically. It uses a traditional manual gearbox with a computer-controlled clutch actuated by permanent magnet motors.

PDK Transmission (PDK): A type of dual-clutch transmission used by Porsche. First developed in 2009, PDK is an advanced transmission that has revolutionized gear shifting in Porsche vehicles. The basic principles of PDK are the same as most dual-clutch gearboxes they have two clutches and two gearboxes combined into one casing.

Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT): An ECVT is a type of transmission system commonly used in hybrid vehicles. Unlike traditional transmissions with fixed gears, a CVT offers a continuous range of gear ratios, allowing the engine to operate more efficiently across various driving conditions.
