Thanks to the YouTube channel Engineering Explained, we now have a simple guide for those who use cars with dual clutch transmissions. Quite a few manufacturers use dual-clutch transmissions, so even if you think your car is an ‘automatic’, double-check if you own a car made by Volkswagen, Porsche, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Smart, Volvo, Renault, Hyundai, BMW and Ford.
These rules may or may not apply to some of you depending on each manufacturer’s programming, but are good practice to go by.
