Can a Dry Dual-Clutch Transmission Last for 5 Years?
1 Answers
A dry dual-clutch transmission can last for 5 years, but there is no precise or standard timeframe for how long it can last, as it is influenced by numerous objective factors such as daily driving conditions and the driver's habits. Therefore, some owners may require major repairs after five or six years, while others may drive for eleven or twelve years without issues. The biggest difference between dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions lies in their cooling methods. Dry clutches use air cooling, whereas wet clutches use liquid cooling. Due to the absence of oil resistance, dry dual-clutch transmissions offer smoother clutch engagement and disengagement, faster response, better rigid connection, and less wear.
