Is the 1.8T transmission in the Boyue dry or wet?

[Weston]

The 1.8T transmission in the Boyue is wet. Differences between dry and wet transmissions: The working environment of the clutch differs between the two. In a wet transmission, the clutch is immersed in transmission fluid, which acts as an intermediary to connect with the engine. In a dry transmission, the clutch directly contacts the engine flywheel. Response speed: Dry transmissions perform better than wet ones. Because dry transmissions involve direct contact for power transfer, the transmission is more immediate. The metal plates are pressed tightly, increasing the transmission ratio, resulting in more direct and noticeable effects. Wet transmissions require an additional step—from the driving disc speeding up to the increased centrifugal force of the fluid, and then to the driven disc speeding up—so the response speed is slightly slower. Transmission: Refers to the vehicle's transmission system, which is divided into manual and automatic types. Manual transmissions mainly consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations. Automatic transmissions (AT) are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic power transfer and gear combinations.
