What is the lifespan of Getrag's 7-speed wet clutch?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, the lifespan of Getrag's 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission can exceed 100,000 kilometers. The wet dual-clutch is immersed in oil, which helps with heat dissipation. In contrast, dry dual-clutch transmissions do not use oil, and the clutch plates are in direct contact with the engine flywheel, relying on air for cooling. Here is some relevant information about clutches: Introduction: The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. Friction Clutch: The friction clutch is the most widely used and historically significant type of clutch. It primarily consists of four parts: the driving section, the driven section, the pressing mechanism, and the operating mechanism.
