Will Using Manual Mode All the Time Damage a Dual-Clutch Transmission?
1 Answers
Using manual mode all the time will not damage a dual-clutch transmission. Prolonged use of manual mode in a dual-clutch transmission does not cause harm to the transmission. Under manual mode, the transmission operates simply through gear transfer, and the vehicle's purely mechanical structure ensures the most stable working mode. Dual-clutch transmissions shift quickly: The shift time of a dual-clutch transmission is very short, even faster than that of a manual transmission, taking less than 0.2 seconds. When shifting a manual transmission, the driver needs to simultaneously control the clutch, gear lever, and throttle, which can be burdensome, especially for beginners, potentially causing driver stress and affecting driving safety. Dual-clutch transmissions have no torque loss during shifting: Inexperienced drivers often stall their manual transmission vehicles on the road, especially on slopes, and improper operation may risk damaging the engine and transmission.
