Is the A4 transmission wet or dry?
1 Answers
Audi A4's transmission is a 7-speed wet dual-clutch. The following are the advantages of a dual-clutch transmission: 1. Seamless shifting: The dual-clutch transmission combines the advantages of manual and automatic transmissions, eliminating the torque converter and instead using two sets of clutches. The alternating work of these two clutches achieves seamless shifting. 2. Full power utilization: Since there is no hydraulic torque converter, the engine's power can be fully utilized. Additionally, the alternating work of the two clutches results in extremely short shifting times, minimizing power interruption from the engine. 3. Reduced fuel consumption: Due to more direct shifting and smaller power loss, fuel consumption can be reduced by more than 10%.
