Default

It has two clutches. Half the gears are on one shaft, the other half on another. 1-3-5,2-4-6. That way, when you shift 1-2, it can just disengage one clutch and engage the other and shift incredibly quickly. GTRs, Ferraris, etc have these. You've got a traditional auto box with a fluid filled torque converter and all of the gears on one shaft. The presence of paddles does not make a gearbox a DCT.
