Is the 1.4T Tharu Transmission Dry or Wet?
1 Answers
The 1.4T engine-equipped Tharu uses a dry dual-clutch transmission. Dual-clutch transmissions are currently the most popular type of transmission, and their working principle is relatively simple. The structure of a dual-clutch transmission is essentially the same as that of a manual transmission, except that it has two sets of clutches—one controls the odd-numbered gears, and the other controls the even-numbered gears. Below is an introduction to four types of automatic transmissions: 1. Hydraulic Automatic Transmission (AT): Achieves automatic shifting through a combination of hydraulic transmission and planetary gears, consisting of a torque converter, planetary gear mechanism, shift execution mechanism, shift control system, and shift operation mechanism. 2. Mechanical Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): Its characteristic is a series of continuous values that better coordinate the vehicle's external driving conditions with the engine load. 3. Electro-Mechanical Automatic Transmission (AMT): Improved from the traditional manual gear transmission, combining the advantages of both AT (automatic) and MT (manual) into an electromechanical-hydraulic integrated automatic transmission. 4. Dual-Clutch Automatic Transmission (DCT): Uses two sets of clutches that alternately work to achieve seamless shifting. DCT combines the advantages of AT and AMT, offering high transmission efficiency, simple structure, and lower production costs.
