What is the Difference Between Automatic Transmission and Dual Clutch?
1 Answers
The differences between dual clutch and automatic transmission lie in the method of power connection, the mechanism of gear transmission, and fuel consumption. The following are detailed explanations: 1. Power connection method: Dual clutch uses clutch plates to connect or disconnect the power between the engine and the transmission; automatic transmission uses a hydraulic torque converter for power connection or disconnection. 2. Gear transmission mechanism: Dual clutch uses a manual transmission gear mechanism, while automatic transmission uses an automatic transmission gear mechanism such as sun gears and planetary gears, but both gear mechanisms are controlled by solenoid valves. 3. Different fuel consumption: Automatic transmission consumes 20% more power than dual clutch in terms of power connection, and dual clutch has lower fuel consumption than automatic transmission.
