Why is the PDK transmission called 'unlimited launch'?
1 Answers
PDK transmission is called 'unlimited launch' because of its excellent reliability and stability, which allows it to perform multiple consecutive launch starts without triggering overheating warnings or malfunctions. The PDK transmission is a dual-clutch transmission developed by Porsche, combining the characteristics of both manual and automatic transmissions. It features dual input shafts (inner and outer) that connect to the engine via dual clutches - the inner shaft handles odd-numbered gears while the outer shaft manages even-numbered gears. A dog-clutch shifting mechanism determines the power connection between transmission gears and the output shaft.
