Which is better, AT or DCT transmission?
1 Answers
Both AT and DCT transmissions have their own advantages and disadvantages, as detailed below: 1. AT technology is more mature than DCT technology. AT transmission refers to the automatic manual transmission, with Japan's Aisin 6AT being the most widely used. AT transmission is currently the most widely applied and popular transmission in the market. Traditional hydraulic automatic transmissions use a torque converter (or hydraulic coupling, multi-plate clutch, etc.), which can cushion the engine's power impact and, combined with planetary gears, offers stable performance. It can also withstand high torque. 2. DCT stands for dual-clutch transmission, which is divided into dry and wet types. Some high-end models generally use wet DCT, which has shorter shift times and matches the engine more perfectly, resulting in less shift shock and better fuel efficiency. However, most models currently use dry DCT.
