Is the MG GS transmission dry or wet?

[ArianaRose]

It adopts a wet dual-clutch transmission, which is independently produced by MG manufacturer. Dual-clutch transmissions are divided into dry dual-clutch transmissions and wet dual-clutch transmissions. Whether dry or wet, the transmission principles are basically the same, with two clutches working alternately. However, the connection medium between the driving disc and the driven disc of the clutch is different. Dry dual-clutch transmissions rely on air, while wet dual-clutch transmissions rely on oil. Wet transmissions are much more stable and have higher costs, but their transmission efficiency is not as good as dry transmissions. Dry transmissions are prone to clutch plate burning due to the inherent defect of poor heat dissipation. In terms of working principles and basic structure, there is no essential difference between dry-clutch and wet-clutch transmissions. The difference lies in the cooling method of the clutch friction plates: (1) The two sets of clutch plates in a wet clutch are in a sealed oil tank, and the heat is absorbed by the transmission oil that soaks the clutch plates. (2) The friction plates of a dry clutch do not have a sealed oil tank and need to be cooled by air.
