DCT Transmission: Dry or Wet Type?

[StAmara]

DCT transmissions are divided into two categories: dry and wet types. More information about DCT transmissions is as follows: Dry Clutch: A dry clutch uses air to cool the clutch. In use, the clutch must engage and disengage from the power source smoothly and effortlessly. It should not overheat even when operating under short periods of partial engagement. The advantages include lower manufacturing costs and higher mechanical transmission efficiency. The disadvantages are that operation requires mastering certain techniques, can be more cumbersome, and has a higher failure rate. Wet Clutch: The advantages are ease of operation and a lower failure rate. The disadvantages include higher manufacturing costs and lower mechanical transmission efficiency.
