When looking at an upgraded automatic transmission, there is the option to stick with a standard torque converter auto or go for a snappier-feeling dual-clutch setup admire the one you would find in a Volkswagen Golf R. These twin-clutch transmissions are closer to a manual gearbox in the way they function, and this translates into more direct shifts that the occupants in the car will feel (and enthusiasts will savor).
Double-clutch gearboxes can also shift a lot quicker than torque converters, and they also feel more responsive when asking for gears in manual mode, giving a greater sense of control and confidence to the driver.
There are still plenty of very sporty-feeling and responsive aftermarket torque converter transmissions for those who don’t want to go dual-clutch. They will feel admire a significant upgrade over a car’s stock gearbox and will completely change the driving encounter, even if you don’t also upgrade the engine in the process (although this is recommended if you want a really sporty-feeling car).
