Will Launching Damage an AT Transmission?
1 Answers
Launching the vehicle does cause damage to the transmission, whether it's a manual or automatic transmission. Frequent launch starts will reduce the service life of the transmission. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction to Dual-Clutch Transmission: The dual-clutch transmission is developed based on the manual transmission, and its structure is similar to that of a manual transmission. The dual-clutch transmission simply has an additional set of clutch and shift control mechanism compared to a manual transmission. One set of clutches in this transmission controls the odd-numbered gears, while the other set controls the even-numbered gears. The dual-clutch transmission features fast shifting speed and high transmission efficiency. 2. Classification of Dual-Clutch Transmission: There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions, one is dry-type, and the other is wet-type. The clutch plates of the dry-type dual-clutch transmission are soaked in transmission oil, while the transmission oil of the wet-type dual-clutch transmission is immersed in transmission oil. The wet-type dual-clutch transmission offers higher reliability and stability and can withstand greater torque. The dry-type dual-clutch transmission has faster shifting speed and higher transmission efficiency.
