Which is better, dry or wet DCT?
1 Answers
Regarding the question of whether dry or wet is better, currently, dry DCTs are indeed more prone to failure than wet ones, mainly due to heat dissipation issues, so relatively speaking, wet DCTs are better. The advantages of each are as follows: 1. Advantages of dry DCT: faster shifting, better transmission efficiency, and higher cost performance. (Representative dry dual-clutch transmissions include Volkswagen's DQ200; Ford, Buick, and some domestic models' DCT250; Hyundai and Kia's D7UF1.) 2. Advantages of wet DCT: higher torque capacity, better heat dissipation, and lower failure rate. (Most dual-clutch models priced above 200,000 yuan on the market are basically wet type.)
