Why does an automatic transmission car lack power when reversing and fail to climb steep slopes?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission cars lacking power when reversing and failing to climb steep slopes is typically a transmission issue. Here are methods to distinguish between dry and wet DCT transmissions: 1. Whether the clutch plates of the transmission are immersed in transmission oil: Dry dual-clutch transmissions do not have their clutch plates immersed in transmission oil; Wet dual-clutch transmissions have their clutch plates immersed in transmission oil. 2. The connecting medium between the driving and driven discs in the clutch differs: Dry dual-clutch transmissions use air as the connecting medium; Wet dual-clutch transmissions use oil as the connecting medium. 3. Different usage scenarios: Generally, dry dual-clutch transmissions are used for shorter periods under semi-engaged clutch conditions; Wet dual-clutch transmissions are more commonly used in automatic transmissions, such as the now widely used manual-automatic integrated transmissions.
