    Chrysler Puts A Hold On Their Dual Clutch Transmission

    gallery_10485_267_698333.png

    Last year, Chrysler announced that the 2012 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger would be equipped with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission from parent company Fiat. One year later, Chrysler has dropped the idea to put a dual-clutch transmission for now.

    "We were concerned about the refinement and how the American customers might perceive the transmission," said Chrysler Spokesperson, Vince Muniga.

    Muniga also said the decision was made in the summer and will "look for other future products" to put it in for the North American market.

    i wonder if ford's botches with this have anything to play in this......

    the pentastar + 6 speeds work well......and maybe they would be better off developing an 8 speed for fwd use.....

    only dual clutch trannys i have driven are the VW's and I really disliked em.....

    • Plus the stupidity coming out of Idiot47 mouth about their deaths. Talk about Morons in DC!
    • I was very troubled by their finding Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle dead in their Brentwood area of Los Angeles home.  This brings up the sorts of things that have happened before, and I'm thinking of the late '60s and early '70s, so I was sort of creeped out. They've arrested his son Nick.  Not that it makes it any better or easier, but there may be quicker closure and the news said that his son had a very troubled past with addiction while growing up. 
    • Yes, Come to work on a master's or doctorate ... meet ICE ... I knew a lot of fun and interesting foreign students when I was in college. A lot of them were more interesting than some garden variety Americans.  
    • Sad, we go from an international desire to come for education to one to avoid at all costs with colleges moving out of the country due to the corrupt incompetent leadership in DC.
    • Lambo is your second picture. Jeep is garbage and with all the advertising, I see many Jeep loyalist leaving due to the garbage they build.
