7-speed wet dual clutch transmission issues generally occur in vehicles frequently driven in congested traffic conditions and those habitually kept in D gear for extended periods. Below is more information about dual clutch transmissions: 1. Precautions: Dual clutch transmissions are not suitable for frequent starts, prolonged low-speed driving, or stop-and-go traffic, as these conditions can easily lead to overheating and subsequent malfunctions. If the vehicle's computer issues a warning, it is essential to stop immediately and allow the transmission to cool down. 2. Usage in Traffic Jams: When stuck in unavoidable traffic congestion, it is advisable to use lower gears, including manual mode or S gear, to significantly reduce the risk of excessive clutch overheating caused by continuous gear shifting. 3. Dual Clutch Issues: With technological advancements, while dual clutch transmissions still have some lingering issues such as jerking and sluggish gear shifts, these problems are not widespread. Overall, they are quite reliable in quality and can meet daily driving needs.
