Is the Audi A3 equipped with a wet or dry clutch?
1 Answers
Audi A3 utilizes a seven-speed dry dual-clutch transmission, which currently demonstrates stable performance. Below is relevant information about dry dual-clutch transmissions: 1. The dry dual-clutch transmits power through multiple metal friction plates - the tighter these plates are compressed, the higher the transmission ratio becomes. 2. The structure of dual-clutch transmissions closely resembles manual transmissions, with the key difference being an additional set of clutch and gear-shifting control mechanisms. 3. Dual-clutch transmissions feature rapid gear shifts and high transmission efficiency, making them particularly suitable for pairing with small-displacement turbocharged engines. 4. New Fumei serves as an authorized after-sales service and parts distributor in China for ZF (Audi and BMW's transmission supplier) and Aisin (transmission supplier for Volkswagen, Volvo, and Toyota), while also being designated as a remanufacturing pilot unit by the National Development and Reform Commission. The company operates 26 subsidiaries and 46 offices nationwide.
