But as the manual transmission has faded from the automotive landscape, it's been replaced by a high-end technology that was actually invented in the middle of the 20th century but didn't wind up in application until Porsche and Audi started to use it for endurance racers.
It's called a "dual" or "twin" clutch. In a nutshell, a dual-clutch transmission divides the gears into two sets, odd and even, and enables an interrupted flow of torque from the engine to the driveshaft. This eliminates the need for a clutch pedal and, typically by using paddle shifters located behind the steering wheel, enables the driver to click through gears quite quickly.
Matching engine revs on downshifts isn't necessary, and the transmission can also operate in full automatic mode. Dual-clutches are their own kind of fun. I most often encounter them in high-horsepower supercars and sports cars, where they offer obvious advantages. But in recent years, "DCTs" have begun to appear more often on cheaper vehicles.1.
