What is a DSG Automatic Gearbox?

A dual-clutch gearbox or a DSG gearbox is one which has two separate clutches that work together as one unit, as the name suggests, with the use of an actual clutch pedal that has to be operated by the driver. In a DSG car, the 1st, 3rd, and 4th gears work together with one clutch, while the 2nd, 4th and 6th gears work together with the second clutch, all of which coordinate for the proper functioning of the car. This is the case if we’re talking about a 6-speed gearbox.
