Is the MG6 Dual Clutch Dry or Wet?
2 Answers
MG6 uses a dry dual-clutch transmission. The dry dual-clutch has a higher transmission rate, meeting daily usage needs. Here is more information about dual-clutch transmissions: 1. Composition: Dual-clutch transmissions include wet dual-clutch and dry dual-clutch. 2. Dry Dual-Clutch Transmission: The clutch plates of a dry dual-clutch transmission directly contact the engine's flywheel. During operation, the heat generated by the transmission is dissipated by external air, whereas the heat generated by a wet dual-clutch transmission is dissipated by oil. 3. Wet Dual-Clutch Transmission: The wet dual-clutch transmission operates more efficiently. However, the dry dual-clutch lacks the oil medium, resulting in a higher transmission rate and more heat generation during operation.
I've been driving the MG6 Pro for almost two years now, and its wet dual-clutch transmission makes a significant difference in the driving experience. The wet type uses transmission oil to lubricate and cool the clutch plates, so it doesn't overheat or shake as easily as the dry type in traffic jams. The power response is sharp, gear shifts are smooth, and fuel consumption is well controlled. For regular maintenance, it's important to change the transmission oil periodically and have it inspected every two years or 40,000 kilometers to prevent internal wear and extend its lifespan. Compared to the dry type, the wet type is more suitable for urban congested road conditions, with lower failure rates, making it more reliable to drive.
