How Long Can the LaCrosse Dry Dual-Clutch Transmission Last?
2 Answers
The LaCrosse dry dual-clutch transmission can last 5-6 years. Below are some relevant details about the LaCrosse: 1. Vehicle Design: The Buick LaCrosse adopts Buick's latest family design language, featuring smooth and elegant body lines with a dynamic body proportion. The wing-shaped full LED automatic sensing headlights utilize advanced light curtain technology, creating a more uniform and brilliant lighting effect. With a body length of 5026mm, width of 1866mm, height of 1462mm, and an ultra-long wheelbase of 2905mm, it offers a spacious driving and riding space typical of a large premium sedan, ensuring a comfortable seating posture. The interior includes 29 practical storage spaces for easy organization of commonly used devices and handbags. 2. Powertrain: The 2021 Buick LaCrosse family is equipped with two sets of driving systems, delivering both powerful performance and excellent fuel economy, while fully complying with the "China 6b" emission standards. Additionally, the different powertrain combinations provide a wider range of choices to meet diverse user needs, further enhancing the LaCrosse's competitiveness in the mid-to-high-end car segment.
The lifespan of the LaCrosse's dry dual-clutch transmission typically depends on your driving habits and maintenance. Based on my 20+ years of auto repair experience, these transmissions generally last around 100,000 to 150,000 kilometers. However, frequent city traffic congestion or aggressive acceleration/braking can reduce lifespan to around 80,000 kilometers. The main issue lies with the clutch plates - the dry design is prone to overheating and wear, leading to jerking, shuddering or even failure. For maintenance, change the transmission fluid every 40,000 km using OEM fluid - don't cheap out. When stopped at lights, shift to neutral to reduce clutch wear. If warning lights appear, don't delay - get it checked immediately. Pay attention to shift smoothness in daily driving, as this can significantly extend lifespan. With proper care, it can last over 150,000 km.
