Is the 1.4T transmission of the Volkswagen Tayron wet or dry?
1 Answers
The 1.4T transmission of the Volkswagen Tayron is a dry-type transmission. Only the 2.0T models use a wet-type dual-clutch transmission. Most Volkswagen models equipped with the 1.4T engine use a dry dual-clutch transmission. The dual-clutch transmission is a relatively common automatic transmission, which is developed based on manual transmissions. Here is additional information about the transmission: 1. The clutch plates of a dry dual-clutch transmission are not immersed in transmission oil and rely on air for cooling. 2. The clutch plates of a wet dual-clutch transmission are immersed in transmission oil and rely on the oil for cooling. 3. The wet dual-clutch transmission offers smoother gear shifts and better reliability and stability. 4. The dry dual-clutch transmission shifts faster, but its cooling performance is inferior, and its reliability and durability may not match that of the wet dual-clutch transmission.
