With the news releases talking about getting rid of the 4 speed and improving the 6 speed and bringing over the Fiat dual-clutch to Chrysler, I was wondering what the benefits of a dual-clutch would be and if it would even be beneficial/practical to a Jeep.

Any opinions as I don't know?

I'd be for more sports car orientated vehicles. If its the trans im thinking of..

yah its mainly for quick shifting. one clutch is for gears 1,3,5 and the other is for 2,4,6 so when releasing the clutch to shift, the "other" clutch is already engaged. thats how nissan's double clutch works anyway

well since our Automatics are horrible.. any change is a welcome one to me.

Thanks for the answers.

Regarding the current trans (6 spd)....they're supposed to improve it...so the presser said.

Dual clutch autos are also more efficient than a conventional automatic.

wait are they getting rid of 4 speed auto and making it a 6 speed with a dual clutch, or are they just making the 6 speed manual have a dual clutch???
