Is the Focus Transmission Wet or Dry?
2 Answers
Focus transmission is a dry transmission, which uses a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. The transmission is used to change the speed and torque from the engine, and it can fixedly or stepwise change the transmission ratio between the output shaft and the input shaft. Relevant information is introduced as follows: Focus is a compact car under Changan Ford. Taking the Ford Focus 2021 manual Fengyue model as an example, its body size is 4647mm in length, 1810mm in width, 1468mm in height, and the wheelbase is 2705mm. The Ford Focus 2021 manual Fengyue model is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, matched with a 7-speed transmission clutch.
I recently bought a Focus and only after driving it for a while did I realize it has a wet dual-clutch transmission design. This thing is immersed in oil for cooling, making it particularly smooth on highways with almost no gearshift jerks. However, in city traffic with stop-and-go conditions, there's occasionally a slight shudder. The advantage is the effective cooling—it's less prone to overheating and burning out compared to dry types. My car can handle long trips of seven or eight hours without issues. The downside is that maintenance needs to be more frequent, with transmission oil changes required every 50,000 kilometers or so. The cost isn't high, but it's something to keep in mind. Overall, the wet transmission in the Focus is quite reliable, suitable for daily commutes and family trips, offering a smooth and safe driving experience.
