What is the difference between automatic transmission and dual-clutch?
1 Answers
The differences between automatic transmission and dual-clutch: 1. Different principles: Automatic transmission uses a computer to control hydraulic oil to push pistons for gear shifting based on throttle size, vehicle speed, and throttle opening; dual-clutch sets two clutches, one controlling odd-numbered gears and the other controlling even-numbered gears. 2. Different operation methods: Automatic transmission vehicles automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed; dual-clutch combines two automatic transmission clutches together, eliminating the need to press the clutch pedal. 3. Different effects: Automatic transmission is more practical, allowing drivers to manually control gears to better match engine speed with gear position, which can also make the car more fuel-efficient; dual-clutch eliminates power transmission stagnation during gear shifting, ensuring that engine power is transmitted to the wheels without delay, commonly used in sports cars.
