Is the Eado's dual-clutch transmission dry or wet?

[DeHaven]

The Eado's dual-clutch transmission is wet. A wet dual-clutch transmission refers to a dual-clutch transmission where the clutch plates are immersed in transmission oil. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. In a dry dual-clutch transmission, the clutch plates are not immersed in transmission oil. Dual-clutch transmissions are a relatively common type of automatic transmission, developed based on manual transmissions. The Eado is a mid-size sedan under Changan Automobile, with dimensions of 4620mm in length, 1820mm in width, 1490mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2660mm. The Changan Eado is equipped with two efficient engines: a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5T turbocharged direct-injection engine.

Last year, I drove my friend's Eado and specifically asked the 4S店 technician. The car is equipped with a dry dual-clutch transmission, which features a compact structure and fast heat dissipation. However, you need to be careful during frequent starts in city traffic jams, as prolonged semi-engagement might lead to overheating. It's quite fuel-efficient in normal driving, and gear shifts are crisp, but it's best to switch to manual mode during heavy traffic jams.

The mechanic guy next door told me about this. Changan mostly uses dry dual-clutch transmissions, and the Eado is no exception. It shifts gears lightning fast when driving, way easier than a manual. Just gotta be extra careful when going through puddles on rainy days. But the newer models have better transmission protection programs, so it won’t overheat from repeated friction when reversing.

Just checked the info and saw the Yidong Blue Whale edition comes with dry dual-clutch transmissions. These don't need oil immersion for cooling, so they're lighter and more fuel-efficient. During my test drive, I noticed downshifts feel crisper than CVTs, though there's occasional low-speed jerkiness, especially when starting cold. I'd recommend waiting until the coolant temp gauge moves before stomping on the throttle.

I heard from Changan engineers that the Eado uses a DF727 dry dual-clutch transmission with high steel belt transmission efficiency. Its biggest advantage is a transmission efficiency of 97%, but you need to be careful not to let mud block the cooling holes. Some car enthusiasts have installed transmission oil temperature gauges and found that the oil temperature is only 70°C during highway cruising, but it's important to pay more attention to temperature changes when climbing mountain roads.
