Is Porsche's Dual-Clutch Transmission the Same as Volkswagen's?
1 Answers
Porsche's dual-clutch transmission is different from Volkswagen's dual-clutch transmission. Here is more information about the transmission: 1. Manual transmission: The shifting clutch is a wet multi-plate clutch. When hydraulic pressure presses the driving plate and the driven plate together, the clutch engages; when the working fluid is discharged from the piston cylinder, the return spring causes the piston to retract, disengaging the clutch. 2. Automatic transmission: After the engine starts, the crankshaft drives the pump wheel to rotate through the flywheel. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation causes the working fluid between the pump wheel blades to be thrown from the inner edge to the outer edge along the blades.
