What Does a 7-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission Mean?

[DelElliot]

A 7-speed dual-clutch transmission refers to a dual-clutch gearbox with 7 gears. When it comes to dual-clutch transmissions, many people think of Volkswagen and Audi. In fact, both AT transmissions and dual-clutch transmissions have their own advantages and disadvantages. Dual-clutch transmissions are further divided into dry and wet types. Wet dual-clutch transmissions are more expensive and larger in size, but they can effectively prevent overheating and are more suitable for driving in congested urban areas. Here is some relevant information: Dual-clutch transmissions have minimal power loss during transmission, making them more fuel-efficient than manual transmissions. There is no power interruption during gear shifts, ensuring both power and handling performance. Advantage: During gear shifts, the two sets of clutch systems work together, making shifts smoother and ensuring better driving dynamics and control. Despite the obvious advantages of dual-clutch transmissions, their failure rate is significantly higher compared to other automatic transmissions (CVT, AT).
