What Causes Metal Shavings in the Transmission?
1 Answers
Metal shavings are caused by wear of the clutch copper or aluminum sleeves inside the gearbox. A small amount is normal, but excessive amounts can affect the normal operation of the transmission. Below are specific introductions to different types of transmissions: 1. CVT: CVT is a continuously variable transmission. Its advantages include fuel efficiency, low maintenance costs, and smooth operation, but it has weaker acceleration feel and limited torque capacity for high-torque engines. 2. AT: AT is an automatic transmission. Its advantages include ease of operation and relaxed driving, as the automatic transmission selects the most suitable gear based on vehicle speed and feedback from the onboard computer. However, maintenance costs and fuel consumption are higher. 3. DCT and DSG: Both DCT and DSG are dual-clutch transmissions. They offer fast gear shifting, high efficiency, and low fuel consumption. However, they require high production precision, resulting in higher costs, and offer relatively poorer comfort.
