What are the models of Audi dual-clutch transmissions?

[DiCarson]

Audi dual-clutch transmission models include: DQ200 dry dual-clutch, DQ381 dual-clutch, DL382 dual-clutch, etc. Function of dual-clutch transmissions: The clutch is located between the engine and the transmission, acting as a 'switch' for power transmission between them. It is a transmission mechanism capable of both transmitting and cutting off power. Its primary functions are to ensure smooth vehicle starts, reduce impact loads on transmission gears during gear shifts, and prevent overload in the drivetrain. History of dual-clutch transmissions: The concept of dual-clutch transmissions dates back 60 to 70 years. As early as 1939, Germany's Kegresse.A was the first to patent a dual-clutch transmission, proposing a design that divides the manual transmission into two parts: one for odd-numbered gears and the other for even-numbered gears. Power is transmitted through two clutches connected to two input shafts, with adjacent gears alternately meshing with the input shaft gears. By coordinating the control of the two clutches, it enables gear ratio changes without interrupting power, thereby reducing shift time and effectively improving shift quality.
