What is the Difference Between Wet Clutch and Dry Clutch?

[CassandraRose]

Here are the differences between dry dual-clutch and wet dual-clutch: 1. Different Cooling Methods: Dry dual-clutch uses air cooling for heat dissipation, relying on wind to drive away heat; Wet dual-clutch is soaked in oil, resulting in higher cooling efficiency. 2. Different Operation Methods: Dry clutch is a manual transmission friction plate clutch with high mechanical transmission efficiency, more complex operation, and higher failure rate; Wet clutch is an automatic transmission oil-immersed friction plate clutch with lower mechanical transmission efficiency, easier operation, and lower failure rate. Additional Information: Dual-clutch transmissions are not suitable for frequent starts, prolonged low-speed driving, or stop-and-go traffic, as they are prone to overheating, leading to failures. Once the vehicle computer issues a warning, it is necessary to stop immediately and cool down the transmission.
