A method for controlling a dual clutch transmission, a dual clutch transmission, and a vehicle equipped with the same. A first input shaft is connected to a first clutch and a second input shaft is connected to a second clutch. A set of odd-numbered gears and a set of even-numbered gears are arranged respectively across the first input shaft and second input shaft and an output shaft. Two of the gears are set as a start gear and a support gear, respectively. A one-way clutch is provided between the support gear and the first input shaft to let the support gear freewheel when a vehicle is started by synchronously engaging the start gear and the support gear to the second input shaft and the first input shaft, respectively, and simultaneously bringing each of the first clutch and the second clutch into a connected state. A third clutch connects the first input shaft and the second input shaft and rotates them together when the vehicle is started.
A dual clutch transmission which includes at least a first input shaft configured to be connected to a first clutch and a second input shaft configured to be connected to a second clutch, and in which a set of odd-numbered gears and a set of even-numbered gears are arranged respectively across the first input shaft and an output shaft and across the second input shaft and the output shaft, and in a case of starting transmission of power from a power source to the output shaft, the transmission of the power is started by synchronously engaging a start gear being one of the gears for start to the second input shaft and connecting the second clutch to the second input shaft, the dual clutch transmission comprising:
