Ford Dual Clutch Transaxle (DCT) DPS6
Weber State University (WSU) - Automotive Technology Department - Transmission Lab. You asked for it, here it is! This episode covers the Ford DPS6 Dual-Clutch Transaxle (DCT) which is used in the 2012-2014 Ford Focus as well as other Ford and Renault vehicles. This is an amazing piece of technology. This transaxle is made by Getrag and is the model 6DCT250.
Unlike regular manual transmissions, dual-clutch transmissions are manual transmissions that are controlled by a Transmission Control Module (TCM) computer. To the driver of the vehicle, these transmissions operate like an automatic transmission.
Dual-clutch transmissions use two clutch disks, two pressure plates, two release/apply bearings, two clutch forks, and two input shafts. One input shaft feeds power to the odd-numbered gears, the other input shaft feeds power to the even-numbered gears.
Other vehicle manufacturers (BMW, VW, Volvo, Renault, Nissan, Ford, Honda, Mitsubishi, Lamborghini, Porsche, Fiat, Chrysler, etc.) use DCTs in some of their cars; some are used in high-performance applications due to the very quick-shifting speed and lightweight.
Questions:
1. List the major components of the Ford DPS6 DCT transaxle
2. What is the purpose of the solid input shaft?
3. What is the purpose of the hollow input shaft?
4. What is unique about the Transmission Control Module (TCM)?
5. What is the purpose of the shift drums?
6. Describe How this transmission shifts gears
7. What are some advantages of a DCT?
8. What are some disadvantages of a DCT?
9. What is the difference between a Dual Clutch Transmission (Ford Focus, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc.) and a Twin Clutch Transmission (Dodge Hellcat, Corvette, Camaro, etc.)?
10. Tell me one thing you learned or found interesting in this video.
