Is the Superb 2.0T equipped with a dry or wet dual-clutch transmission?
1 Answers
The 2.0T Superb is equipped with a wet dual-clutch transmission. Wet dual-clutch transmissions have higher costs and larger volumes, but they effectively prevent gearbox overheating and can deliver greater power. Below is relevant information about dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions: 1. A wet dual-clutch transmission refers to a setup where two multi-plate clutches (one large and one small) are coaxially installed together in a sealed oil chamber filled with hydraulic fluid. This design provides better modulation capabilities and superior thermal properties, allowing it to transmit higher torque. 2. A dry dual-clutch transmission transmits torque through friction plates on the clutch driven disc. It eliminates the need for related hydraulic systems and benefits from the high efficiency of dry clutches in torque transmission.
