Should I shift to N when stopping with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission?
1 Answers
It is optional to shift to N when stopping with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. This is because the dual-clutch transmission disengages the clutch when the brake pedal is pressed during a stop, preventing the engine's power from being transmitted to the transmission. As a result, the car cannot move forward, so shifting to N or not shifting to N are both acceptable. Here is some related information: Dual-clutch transmission: A dual-clutch transmission is a relatively simple automatic transmission that essentially adds an extra clutch and a set of shift control mechanisms compared to a manual transmission. One clutch in the dual-clutch transmission controls the odd-numbered gears, while the other controls the even-numbered gears. Dual-clutch transmissions offer fast shifting speeds and relatively high transmission efficiency. Classification: There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions, dry and wet. The clutch plates in a dry dual-clutch transmission are not immersed in transmission fluid, whereas those in a wet dual-clutch transmission are immersed in transmission fluid.
