Is the Sharan's transmission a wet type?
1 Answers
The Sharan is equipped with a DQ380 transmission across all models, which is a wet-type 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. It demonstrates balanced performance in terms of fuel economy and smooth gear shifting, and is generally stable with minimal likelihood of malfunctions. Below is an introduction to dual-clutch transmissions: 1. Dual-clutch transmissions differ from conventional automatic transmission systems. Based on manual transmissions yet belonging to the automatic transmission category, they combine the flexibility of manual transmissions with the comfort of automatic transmissions while providing uninterrupted power output. 2. Traditional manual transmissions use a single clutch. When shifting gears, the driver must depress the clutch pedal to engage different gear sets, resulting in power interruption during gear changes and intermittent output performance.
