Is the ix35 transmission dry or wet?
1 Answers
Beijing Hyundai ix35 transmission is dry. The following are the differences between dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions: 1. Transmission efficiency: The structure of wet clutches is more complex, and a complex structure means higher energy loss, so wet dual-clutch transmissions have lower transmission efficiency, occupy more engine power, and under the same conditions, fuel consumption will be higher. 2. Response speed: Dry clutches transmit power directly through metal plates, making power transmission more direct. When the metal plates are pressed tightly, the transmission ratio increases, resulting in a more immediate and noticeable effect. Wet clutches, on the other hand, rely on oil. The process involves speeding up the driving plate, increasing the centrifugal force of the oil, and then speeding up the driven plate, adding an extra step, which slows down the response speed. 3. Torque capacity: The metal friction plates of dry clutches cannot withstand too much torque. If subjected to excessive stress impact, the friction plates can easily be damaged, so dry clutches can only be used in small-displacement, low-torque output models.
