What is the difference between a 7-speed dual-clutch and a CVT?
1 Answers
The main differences between a 7-speed dual-clutch and a CVT are: different nature, different principles, and different characteristics. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Different nature: The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is a dry clutch, developed on the basis of 6-speed technology research, which simplifies the related hydraulic system. It is generally used in conjunction with small-displacement engines. The continuously variable transmission is a stepless automatic transmission, without specific gears, and its operation is similar to an automatic transmission, but the speed change differs from the shifting process of an automatic transmission. 2. Different principles: The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission consists of three similarly sized clutch plates of the dual-clutch stacked coaxially. The two clutch plates on the sides are connected to gears 1, 3, 5, 7 and 2, 4, 6, reverse respectively, with a central disc moving between them, simultaneously engaging or disengaging with the two clutch plates to shift gears.
