What is the lifespan of a dry clutch?
1 Answers
Dry clutches have a lifespan of 200,000-300,000 kilometers. Introduction to dry clutches: A dry clutch uses air for cooling. Even when operating under prolonged partial engagement conditions, the clutch should not exhibit overheating. Due to poor heat dissipation, dry dual-clutch systems face higher risks of clutch plate overheating or even burning in congested urban areas, whereas wet dual-clutch transmissions are more technologically mature. Introduction to wet dual-clutch: Wet dual-clutch plates are immersed in transmission fluid, while dry dual-clutch plates directly contact the engine flywheel. Since wet dual-clutch plates operate in hydraulic oil, which provides cooling effects, they offer more stable performance.
