What transmission does the Octavia Pro use?
1 Answers
The Octavia Pro uses a dual-clutch transmission, which is a relatively common type of automatic transmission. The structure of this transmission is similar to that of a manual transmission. In fact, the dual-clutch transmission is developed based on the manual transmission, with the addition of an extra clutch and a set of gear-shifting control mechanisms. Dual-Clutch Transmission: In a dual-clutch transmission, one clutch controls the odd-numbered gears, while the other clutch controls the even-numbered gears. This type of transmission offers fast gear shifts and high transmission efficiency. Types of Dual-Clutch Transmissions: There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. In a dry dual-clutch transmission, the clutch plates are not immersed in transmission fluid, whereas in a wet dual-clutch transmission, the clutch plates are immersed in transmission fluid. The dry type provides faster gear shifts and higher transmission efficiency, while the wet type can handle higher torque and offers smoother gear shifts.
