Is the Dry Dual-Clutch Transmission Not Allowed to Wade Through Water?
1 Answers
The dry dual-clutch transmission is strictly prohibited from wading through water during use, especially when the water level exceeds the midline of the wheels, as water can enter the dual-clutch system, causing severe malfunctions. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The structure of the dual-clutch transmission is extremely precise: Particularly the clutch section, where dimensional accuracy is measured in 'Dao (0.01mm)'. Its shifting speed is very fast, only 0.2 seconds, so the separation and engagement of the clutch are also extremely rapid. All of this is based on the intact and smooth operation of the system structure. If there is even slight sticking during operation, not only will normal shifting be impossible, but it may also cause movement interference, leading to serious mechanical failures. 2. After the dual-clutch transmission has been driven through water: Water on the road is generally very dirty, containing a large amount of dust, impurities, corrosive substances, etc. When the car is driven through water, this water can enter the dual-clutch system through the cooling holes. Dust and impurities deposit on moving parts, and dirty water can cause parts to rust. All of these can alter the fitting clearance of the parts, leading to sticking in the operation of the clutch release fork, rack, bearings, etc., making the actions of various parts uncoordinated and even causing movement interference.
