At what temperature does a dry dual-clutch transmission trigger an alarm?
1 Answers
Under normal driving conditions, the transmission fluid temperature of a dual-clutch transmission vehicle is typically below 135 degrees Celsius. An alarm will be triggered if the temperature exceeds this threshold. Causes of excessively high transmission fluid temperature: When a vehicle is subjected to excessive use, such as overloaded towing, or when driving in four-wheel-drive mode set for snow or off-road conditions, excessive slippage in the torque converter can cause the transmission fluid temperature to reach 135 degrees. How to handle overheating: Transmission overheating occurs more frequently in dry dual-clutch transmissions. If the transmission temperature is too high, it is advisable to wait for it to cool down before continuing use. Excessive temperature can lead to transmission failure.
