What are the remedial measures for a dry dual-clutch transmission after water exposure?
1 Answers
Solutions for water ingress in dry dual-clutch transmissions: 1. Clean water ingress: Avoid driving and running the engine as much as possible. In this case, the water will settle at the bottom of the gear oil in the transmission. Open the drain screw at the bottom of the transmission to release all the water and oil, then refill with new gear oil. 2. Dirty water or water with sediment ingress: The transmission needs to be removed and opened for cleaning. If sediment enters the bearings, especially the input shaft bearing, all components inside the transmission must be disassembled and cleaned.
