What should be noted about dry dual-clutch transmissions?

[StAndres]

Dry dual-clutch transmissions require attention: avoid heavy throttle inputs and reduce sudden braking during normal driving. This is because during aggressive acceleration or sudden braking while driving in third gear, the transmission may interpret this as acceleration and prematurely shift to fourth gear. However, with sudden acceleration, the transmission then needs to downshift from fourth to second gear to increase engine speed, resulting in consecutive gear shifts that can cause jerky sensations. Dual-clutch transmissions are mainly divided into two types: dry and wet dual-clutch. The key difference between dry and wet clutches lies in the connection medium between the driving and driven plates - dry dual-clutch transmissions use air for transmission, while wet dual-clutch transmissions use oil.
