General Information: Transmission

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Volkswagen GTI, 2016 Volkswagen GTI, 2015 Volkswagen Golf, and 2015 Volkswagen GTI. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The flywheel transfers the engine torque to the dual clutch. The flywheel and the dual clutch are connected to each other via splines. Together they take over the function of the dual mass flywheel.
The transmission is built like a 6-gear manual transmission. The alternating hydraulic actuation of the double clutch permits operation similar to that of an automatic transmission. This means the gears are automatically or manually shifted via the Tiptronic mode. There is no clutch pedal.
