It says the transmission is one of three variants of the C635 family of six-speed gearboxes with a range of engine torque capacities.
Launching in late 2009, the dry dual-clutch C635 transmission will first be available on the Alfa Romeo MiTo and is expected to expand to a wide range of Fiat, Lancia and Alfa mid-sized C and D segment models beginning in 2010.

The BorgWarner DualTronic control system developed for the dry dual-clutch C635 transmission employs high pressure electro-hydraulic solenoids working in combination with an on-demand electrically driven hydraulic pump to reduce fuel consumption.
