Is the Song Pro Transmission Dry or Wet?
1 Answers
Song Pro's transmission is the BYD6DCT35 six-speed wet dual-clutch. Introduction to Dry Dual-Clutch: A dry dual-clutch can be understood as a combination of two sets of ordinary manual transmission clutches, with two clutches controlling two input shafts to deliver power to the transmission. This design aims to improve shift speed and transmission efficiency, so dual-clutch transmissions are always very proactive in shifting. Frequent shifting equals frequent semi-engagement of the clutch, which means high-frequency sliding friction between the flywheel and the clutch. Durability: The 1.5T direct-injection turbocharged engine paired with the Song Pro has a peak torque of only 245Nm (1600-4000 rpm), and the ample torque margin indicates the durability of this transmission. Function: The BYD Song Pro fuel version comes standard with a 1.5T high-efficiency engine, model number BYD476ZQB. The wet transmission places the clutch in an oil chamber, where it is lubricated and cooled by transmission oil flow.
