What is the difference between a manual transmission clutch and a dry clutch?

[DeBryce]

Manual transmission clutches are dry clutches. Here are the relevant details: 1. Dry clutch vs. wet clutch: Manual transmissions use dry clutches. If oil is present, the vehicle may slip and fail to move. Automatic transmission clutches are housed inside the transmission case. Those that rely on hydraulic pressure for engagement are wet clutches. A wet clutch means the clutch and gear wheels are immersed in oil. 2. Differences between dry and wet clutches: Dry clutches offer greater friction but are prone to overheating. To dissipate heat, some clutches use engine oil from the crankcase for cooling, which are called wet clutches. Dry clutches respond faster but are noisier and wear out more quickly. Wet clutches are more durable and quieter. Scooters typically use dry clutches, and many two-stroke vehicles also employ dry clutches.
