Is a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission considered an automatic transmission?
1 Answers
6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission is an automatic transmission. The following are specific introductions to dry and wet transmissions in automobiles: 1. Difference: The working principles of dry and wet transmissions in automobiles are basically the same, both using two clutches to work alternately. The difference lies in the medium connecting the driving plate and the driven plate. Wet dual-clutch transmissions mainly rely on oil, while dry dual-clutch transmissions mainly rely on air. 2. Basic structure: The two sets of clutch plates in a wet clutch are located in a sealed oil tank, and the heat is absorbed by the transmission oil soaking the clutch plates. In contrast, the friction plates of a dry clutch do not have a sealed oil tank and rely on air cooling for heat dissipation.
