Is the Envision's dual-clutch transmission wet or dry?
1 Answers
The Envision's dual-clutch transmission is dry. Here is the relevant information: 1. The difference between dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions lies in the working environment of their clutch plates. A wet dual-clutch has its clutch plates immersed in transmission fluid, while a dry dual-clutch's plates are in direct contact with the engine flywheel. 2. The clutch is located between the engine and the transmission, acting as a 'switch' for power transfer between them. It is a transmission mechanism that can both transmit and cut off power. Its main functions are to ensure smooth vehicle starting, reduce impact loads on transmission gears during gear shifts, and prevent overload in the drivetrain. In most vehicles, gear shifts are achieved through the engagement and disengagement of the clutch, which results in a temporary interruption of power transfer during the process.
