What transmission does the Tacqua use?
1 Answers
The Tacqua is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, a 6-speed automatic manual transmission, and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Here are some details about the Tacqua: 1. In terms of power, this vehicle is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. For the transmission system, the engines are paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, a 6-speed automatic manual transmission, and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 2. The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is the most commonly used type of transmission by Volkswagen. The one installed in the Tacqua is a dry dual-clutch transmission, which comes in two types: wet and dry. 3. The biggest advantage of a dual-clutch transmission is its fast shifting speed. Because it uses two clutches, the transmission shifts gears more quickly compared to traditional transmissions, resulting in higher transmission efficiency. 4. Dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions operate in different environments. If the transmission works for a long time, it may overheat, leading to abnormal noises and jerking. The dry dual-clutch transmission dissipates heat through air, while the wet dual-clutch transmission uses oil for cooling. Therefore, the wet dual-clutch transmission has a better working environment and a longer service life.
