1 Answers
Wet dual-clutch transmissions have a lifespan of approximately 500,000 kilometers. A wet dual-clutch transmission refers to a dual-clutch transmission where the clutch plates are immersed in transmission fluid. Dual-clutch transmissions are categorized into dry and wet types. Characteristics of dual-clutch transmissions: 1. DSG transmissions improve vehicle fuel economy; 2. They are highly responsive; 3. Vehicles experience no sensation of power interruption during acceleration, resulting in stronger and smoother acceleration; 4. When in manual mode, the transmission will not upshift even if the accelerator is fully depressed unless the driver initiates the upshift. The functions of a transmission are: 1. To alter the gear ratio to meet the traction requirements under different driving conditions; 2. To enable reverse driving; 3. To interrupt power transmission to the drive wheels during engine start, idle operation, gear shifting, or when the vehicle needs to stop while power output is required.
