What is the lifespan of Volkswagen's 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission?
1 Answers
Volkswagen's 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission comes with an official warranty period of 3 years or 100,000 kilometers. Theoretically, it can last between 10 to 20 years. Below is a detailed introduction about automotive clutches: Overview: The automotive clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission. While driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine with the transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power to the transmission. Principle: The driving and driven parts of the clutch utilize friction between contact surfaces, or use liquid as a transmission medium, or employ magnetic transmission (electromagnetic clutch) to transmit torque, allowing temporary separation and gradual engagement between the two parts, while also permitting mutual rotation during the transmission process.
