Usually, automatic transmissions don’t have a clutch pedal like a car with a manual gearbox. This is because they don’t have a clutch connecting the engine with the gearbox. Instead, they use a torque converter and this sends the engine’s power to the gearbox when you press the accelerator, but it separates the two to let the engine tick-over independently when you stop the car. DSG gearboxes provide a different solution. They feature a pair of electronically controlled clutches that the car can engage or disengage automatically.

One clutch is used to transmit the engine’s power through the gearbox to the car’s wheels. While this is happening, the car’s onboard computer predicts which gear you’ll need next and uses the second clutch to get that gear ready. When the computer decides it’s time to change gear, it simply tells the gearbox to disengage one clutch, and engage the other, therefore changing gear.
