What transmission does the Changan Yuexiang use?
1 Answers
Changan Yuexiang uses a 5-speed manual transmission and a 5-speed dual-clutch transmission. The dual-clutch transmission has an additional set of clutches and shift control mechanism compared to the manual transmission. One clutch in the dual-clutch transmission controls even-numbered gears, while the other controls odd-numbered gears. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. The clutch plates in a dry dual-clutch transmission are not immersed in transmission oil, whereas those in a wet dual-clutch transmission are. The wet dual-clutch transmission offers better heat dissipation and can handle higher torque.
