What does a 7-speed dry dual-clutch mean?
1 Answers
7-speed dual-clutch refers to a dual-clutch transmission with 7 forward gears. Below is the relevant information: Dual-clutch transmission: A dual-clutch transmission is essentially a car transmission with two sets of clutches. In terms of classification, dual-clutch transmissions can generally be divided into wet dual-clutch transmissions and dry dual-clutch transmissions. Currently, mainstream dual-clutch transmissions typically have either 6 or 7 gears. 7-speed dual-clutch transmission: A 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is now generally a dry dual-clutch transmission, which was developed by simplifying the related hydraulic system based on the wet dual-clutch transmission. Since the clutch is not installed in a sealed oil chamber, the dry friction plates on the driven disk can directly engage with each other, resulting in more direct power transmission efficiency.
