Is the Tharu equipped with a dry or wet transmission?
1 Answers
The Tharu equipped with a 1.4T engine uses a dry dual-clutch transmission, while the Tharu with a 2.0T engine uses a wet dual-clutch transmission. Below are two key differences between dry and wet transmissions: 1. The presence or absence of an oil chamber. (1) A wet dual-clutch transmission consists of two sets of multi-plate clutches, one large and one small, mounted coaxially and housed in a sealed oil chamber filled with hydraulic fluid. (2) A dry dual-clutch transmission relies on dry friction plates on the driving disc to engage, making it more prone to overheating, with lower thermal tolerance compared to a wet clutch. 2. Differences in performance. (1) A wet dual-clutch transmission relies on transmission oil for cooling, offering better stability and reliability, and can handle higher torque. (2) A dry dual-clutch transmission is air-cooled, resulting in inferior stability and reliability compared to a wet dual-clutch transmission, and it can handle less torque.
