How to Determine Whether a Dual Clutch is Wet or Dry?

[McTanner]

Determining whether a dual clutch is wet or dry depends on the connecting medium. Below are the differences between wet and dry dual clutches: 1. Difference one: The clutch plates of a wet dual clutch are immersed in transmission fluid, with the connecting medium being fluid; the clutch plates of a dry dual clutch directly contact the engine flywheel, with the connecting medium being air. 2. Difference two: A wet dual clutch refers to a multi-plate clutch where two clutches, one large and one small, are installed coaxially; a dry dual clutch operates in a semi-engaged state and does not experience overheating. The dual clutch is located between the engine and the transmission, serving as the switch for power transmission between them, and is a transmission mechanism capable of transmitting and cutting off power.
