What does a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission mean?
1 Answers
7-speed dual-clutch transmission refers to a dual-clutch transmission with seven forward gears, also known as a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which uses a dry clutch. Dual-clutch transmissions can generally be divided into wet dual-clutch and dry dual-clutch types, with the current mainstream dual-clutch transmissions typically having six or seven gears. The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission was actually developed based on the technology of the 6-speed, simplifying the related hydraulic systems. Dual-clutch transmissions are usually found in automatic transmission vehicles, such as the current Magotan, where the gear shift knob is marked with DSG, meaning dual-clutch transmission. Traditional automatic transmissions used a single clutch, where one clutch was responsible for disengaging from the current gear and engaging the next gear, whereas a dual-clutch transmission has one clutch responsible for a portion of the operation.
