What Causes Dual-Clutch Transmission Overheating?
1 Answers
Dual-clutch transmission overheating causes: continuously shifting gears while driving at low speeds can cause the clutch plates to overheat. A dual-clutch transmission is a relatively common type of automatic transmission. Its structure is similar to that of a manual transmission, except it has an additional set of clutches and gear-shift control mechanisms. In a dual-clutch transmission, one clutch controls the odd-numbered gears, while the other controls the even-numbered gears. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. In a dry dual-clutch transmission, the clutch plates are not immersed in transmission fluid, whereas in a wet dual-clutch transmission, the clutch plates are immersed in transmission fluid.
