Does the Dual-Clutch Auto Hold Damage the Clutch?
1 Answers
The dual-clutch auto hold does not damage the clutch and can be used with confidence. When the vehicle is stopped, the dual-clutch transmission automatically disengages the clutch, preventing power from being transmitted to the transmission. This applies whether the car is in D (Drive) or N (Neutral) gear. Upon restarting, there is a process for the power to re-engage with the transmission, which is why dual-clutch transmissions may feel slightly delayed. The dual-clutch transmission is named so because it operates using two sets of clutches. The clutch, located between the engine and the transmission, acts as a 'switch' for power transmission between the two. It is a transmission mechanism capable of both transmitting and cutting off power.
