A DCT is a clutch-type transmission. It's more properly termed as a robotic clutch transmission (like BMW's SMG), only there's two clutches and two separate sets of gears... so while one gearset is coming out of gear, the other one is already in gear, and all you need to do is to release one clutch and activate another for a near-instantaneous shift.
