Lifespan of the Tiggo 8's Wet Dual-Clutch Transmission?

[EmmettRose]

The wet dual-clutch transmission in the Tiggo 8 generally has a lifespan of approximately 20 years or around 500,000 kilometers. Methods to extend the lifespan of the dual-clutch transmission are as follows: 1. Avoid prolonged low-speed driving: During traffic congestion, the clutch plates remain in a semi-engaged state. Frequent gear shifts between first and second gears can accelerate wear and reduce lifespan. In such situations, shifting to 'S' mode for low-speed driving can help avoid constant switching between first and second gears. 2. Avoid rapid gear shifting: When reversing, do not immediately shift to drive before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. This can cause severe gear impact, thereby shortening the lifespan of the dual-clutch transmission. 3. Apply throttle gently: Gently pressing and releasing the throttle helps prevent incorrect gear selection and reduces excessive wear on the gears and clutch plates.
