What is an Unlimited Launch Transmission?
1 Answers
An unlimited launch transmission actually refers to Porsche's PDK dual-clutch transmission. This transmission can perform multiple launch starts without any overheating issues, which is why many car owners refer to the PDK dual-clutch transmission as the unlimited launch transmission. The PDK dual-clutch transmission was jointly developed by Porsche and Germany's ZF Group, emphasizing heat dissipation and stability. In a dual-clutch transmission, one clutch controls the odd-numbered gears, while the other controls the even-numbered gears. This type of transmission offers fast gear shifts and high transmission efficiency. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry dual-clutch and wet dual-clutch.
