Can Dry Dual-Clutch Transmissions Not Handle Water? What About Driving in the Rain?
1 Answers
Dry dual-clutch transmissions cannot handle water, and driving in the rain may cause damage. Here is more information about clutches: 1. Functions: (1) Gradually increase the driving force of the car for a smooth start; (2) Temporarily separate the engine and transmission for gear shifting; (3) Prevent overload in the transmission system; (4) Reduce torsional vibration impacts from the engine, extending the lifespan of transmission gears. 2. Structure: Friction clutches are the most widely used type, typically consisting of four parts: the driving section, driven section, pressing mechanism, and control mechanism. 3. Working Principle: Generally divided into the engaged state and disengaged state. The flywheel is fixed to the crankshaft, the pressure plate is fixed to the flywheel, and the clutch disc is sandwiched in between. Under normal conditions, the clutch disc is tightly pressed by the pressure plate, and as long as the engine is running, power is continuously transmitted to the transmission (in neutral). When shifting gears, pressing the clutch pedal separates the pressure plate, cutting off power output.
