What is the lifespan of a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, the designed service life of a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission is at least 300,000 kilometers, and most can operate up to 250,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information about the transmission: Working principle: The transmission relies on transmission fluid for cooling, lubrication, and hydraulic power transfer. If the transmission fluid is used for too long, it will significantly reduce the transmission's performance. When the transmission fluid becomes severely contaminated, it can also lead to a series of transmission malfunctions. Hazards of not changing the fluid promptly: Failure to change the transmission fluid in time can result in weak starts when the car is cold. Additionally, transmission fluid can deteriorate and evaporate under high-speed and high-temperature conditions, thereby accelerating the wear of mechanical components and, in severe cases, damaging internal transmission parts. It can also cause the transmission fluid to thicken, which may block the transmission cooler, leading to excessively high transmission fluid temperatures, increased wear, and the vehicle being more prone to minor slipping during driving.
