Is the clutch of the Song MAX dry or wet?

[DiDeclan]

The clutch of the Song MAX is wet. A clutch cooled by oil is called a wet clutch. The cooling oil does not protect the friction plates but ensures smooth and gentle power transmission. Its advantages include a long service life and generally trouble-free operation unless the clutch is frequently operated in a semi-engaged state, violating operational procedures. More details are as follows: 1. Dry and wet clutches each have their own characteristics and benefits, making it difficult to say which is better. 2. Dry clutch: This refers to the manual transmission friction plate clutch, which is low-cost and has high mechanical transmission efficiency. The downside is that operation requires mastering certain techniques, is relatively cumbersome, and has a higher failure rate. 3. Wet clutch: This refers to the automatic transmission oil-immersed friction plate clutch, which requires a hydraulic coupling or torque converter to work in conjunction for flexible power connection. It is more expensive and has lower mechanical transmission efficiency, but the advantage is easier operation and a lower failure rate.
