Why doesn't the Envision use a wet dual-clutch transmission?
1 Answers
The Envision is more suitable for a dry dual-clutch transmission. The difference between dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions lies in the working environment of their clutch plates. A wet dual-clutch transmission has its clutch plates immersed in transmission fluid, while a dry dual-clutch transmission's clutch plates are in direct contact with the engine flywheel. Here are detailed explanations about automotive clutches: 1. Overview: The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Requirements: Smooth engagement, rapid and thorough disengagement; easy adjustment and repair; compact size; lightweight; good wear resistance and sufficient heat dissipation capacity.
