Is the Macan's Transmission a PDK?
1 Answers
Macan's transmission can be referred to as a PDK transmission, having undergone special tuning and calibration by Porsche. The full name of the PDK transmission is Porsche-Doppelkupplung, or Porsche Double-Clutch Transmission, which is essentially a brand name. All dual-clutch transmissions produced by Porsche can be called PDK transmissions. More details are as follows: 1. In fact, the dual-clutch transmission in the Porsche Macan is not a true PDK transmission; this vehicle uses Audi's dual-clutch transmission. The Porsche Macan shares the same platform as the Audi Q5, so it's quite normal for it to use Audi's dual-clutch transmission. 2. Porsche's PDK transmission is highly stable, with excellent reliability and durability. Tests have shown that even after 50 consecutive launch starts, the PDK transmission does not exhibit any overheating warnings or malfunctions.
