Will Launching Damage an AT Transmission?
1 Answers
Launching puts stress on the transmission, whether it's a manual or automatic transmission. Frequent launching will reduce the service life of the transmission. It is recommended to minimize the use of launching techniques. For manual transmissions or dual-clutch transmissions, frequent launching will accelerate the wear of the clutch plates. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction to Dual-Clutch Transmissions: Dual-clutch transmissions are developed based on manual transmissions, and their structure is similar to manual transmissions. A dual-clutch transmission simply has an additional set of clutches and shift control mechanism compared to a manual transmission. One set of clutches controls the odd gears, while the other controls the even gears. Dual-clutch transmissions offer fast shifting speeds and high transmission efficiency. 2. Classification of Dual-Clutch Transmissions: There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions—dry and wet. The clutch plates of a dry dual-clutch transmission are immersed in transmission fluid, while the transmission fluid of a wet dual-clutch transmission is also immersed in transmission fluid. Wet dual-clutch transmissions offer higher reliability and stability and can handle greater torque. Dry dual-clutch transmissions shift faster and have higher transmission efficiency.
