Where is the Changan 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission produced?
2 Answers
Changan's 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission is produced by Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd. Advantages of the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission: The 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission comes from Changan's Blue Whale platform. Its internal structure is similar to that of a manual transmission, using gear meshing for power transmission, resulting in shorter shift times and better power transmission efficiency. Additionally, because the dual-clutch transmission eliminates torque interruption, it allows the engine's power to be continuously utilized. Therefore, it can save fuel and has excellent fuel economy. Comparison between wet and dry clutches: Wet clutches have a wider threshold calibration and do not require rapid shifting to control temperature like dry clutches, which can cause jerking and hesitation during use. Therefore, wet clutches offer better smoothness compared to dry ones.
I'm a tech enthusiast, always tinkering with car stuff. Changan's 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission is produced in-house, mainly at their factory in Chongqing called the Qingshan Transmission Base. You know, Changan Automobile's headquarters is in Chongqing, where they've set up a dedicated transmission production line. The wet design ensures smoother gear shifts, higher efficiency, and better heat resistance—no worries about overheating even in traffic jams without AC. They use their own Blue Core technology, somewhat similar to Volkswagen's DSG but more cost-effective. I visited the factory last time; the assembly line is highly automated, and workers meticulously fine-tune the details. Chongqing has great natural conditions, being near the Yangtze River, with a complete supply chain that helps reduce production costs. That's why Changan's transmissions offer good value for money, and many owners report no major issues even after years of use.
