Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: General notes
| The torque of the engine is transmitted via the flywheel to
the dual clutch gearbox. The flywheel and the dual clutch are
joined together by a toothed connection. Together they take on
the function of the dual-mass flywheel.
|
| The gearbox is structured like a 7-speed manual gearbox.
Through opposed hydraulic actuation of two multi-plate dry
clutches, it is operated like an automatic gearbox. In other
words, the gears are engaged automatically or manually via the
Tiptronic system. There is no clutch pedal. |
| When the ignition is switched off, both clutches are
disengaged. |
