Inside the DCT

Found this and thought it would interest some.
If you've ever wondered how the DCT works, take a look.

Honda’s DCT, which delivers consistent, seamless gear changes. DCT uses two clutches: one for start-up and 1st, 3rd and 5th gear, the other for 2nd, 4th and 6th, with the mainshaft of one clutch located inside the other for compactness. Each clutch is independently controlled by its own electro-hydraulic circuit. When a gear change occurs, the system pre-selects the target gear using the clutch not in use. The first clutch is then electronically disengaged as the second clutch engages. The result is a consistent, fast and seamless gear change.

Now I wonder how long before this is plagiarized and posted on the other forum?
