What is the Principle of a Dual-Clutch Transmission?
1 Answers
The principle of a dual-clutch transmission: A dual-clutch transmission has two clutches, one controlling the odd-numbered gears and the other controlling the even-numbered gears. After engaging the 1st gear, the 2nd gear is already pre-selected, but its clutch is not yet engaged. If the 2nd gear is needed, the corresponding clutch can be directly engaged. The structure of a dual-clutch transmission is similar to that of a conventional manual transmission, except that it has an additional set of clutches and gear-shifting control mechanisms. This type of transmission provides drivers with a crisp and swift shifting experience. Many performance cars and supercars utilize dual-clutch transmissions due to their high transmission efficiency and rapid gear-shifting speed.
