Does a Dry Dual-Clutch Transmission Have Gearbox Oil?

[VonLeila]

Dry dual-clutch transmissions do have gearbox oil, and this type of transmission also requires regular oil changes. Dual-clutch transmissions are currently very popular, and their structure is similar to that of manual transmissions. They feature two sets of clutches: one controls the odd-numbered gears, while the other controls the even-numbered gears. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. In a dry dual-clutch transmission, the clutch plates are not immersed in gearbox oil, whereas in a wet dual-clutch transmission, the clutch plates are immersed in gearbox oil. Dry dual-clutch transmissions offer faster shifting speeds but have poorer heat dissipation, as well as lower reliability and stability compared to wet dual-clutch transmissions. Wet dual-clutch transmissions can handle higher torque, provide better heat dissipation, and offer superior reliability and stability compared to dry dual-clutch transmissions.
