Can Dry Dual-Clutch Cars Drive in Rainy Weather?
1 Answers
Vehicles equipped with dry dual-clutch transmissions can operate normally in rainy weather, but they should avoid road sections where the water depth exceeds the wheel height. The structure of a dual-clutch transmission is similar to that of a manual transmission. The dual-clutch transmission simply adds an extra set of clutches and an additional gear-shifting control mechanism compared to a manual transmission. One set of clutches in the dual-clutch transmission controls the even-numbered gears, while the other set controls the odd-numbered gears. Maintenance is crucial for dry dual-clutch transmissions during use. Any transmission system involves gears or chains, and gear operation relies on lubricating oil. The transmission gears inside a dry dual-clutch transmission also require lubrication oil for smooth operation. Additionally, regular replacement of gear oil and hydraulic oil for the solenoid valve group is necessary.
