How to Distinguish Between Wet and Dry Dual-Clutch Transmissions?

[DelPreston]

Determining whether a dual-clutch transmission is wet or dry depends on the connecting medium: 1. The clutch plates of a wet dual-clutch are immersed in transmission fluid, with the connecting medium being the fluid; 2. The clutch plates of a dry dual-clutch are in direct contact with the engine flywheel, with the connecting medium being air. The dual-clutch is located between the engine and the transmission, serving as the switch for power transfer between them, capable of transmitting and cutting off power. A wet dual-clutch refers to a multi-plate clutch where two clutches (one large and one small) are installed coaxially, while a dry dual-clutch operates in a semi-engaged state without overheating issues.
