The dual-clutch transmission in the Audi A4 is similar to a manual transmission in that it uses two clutches to engage gears. However, it also has an electronic control unit that monitors driving conditions and adjusts shifting for smoother acceleration and quicker gear changes.

Think of the dual-clutch transmission in the Audi A4 as having two sets of gears, one for even-numbered gears and one for odd-numbered gears. By having these two separate gear sets, the transmission can pre-select the next gear for quicker shifts.
