Description
Technical Field

[0002] A wet dual clutch is commonly used in DCT transmissions. Located between the engine and transmission, it acts as the link and switch for power transfer between the two. The wet clutch's primary function is to ensure smooth vehicle starts, reduce impact loads on the transmission gears, and prevent transmission system overload during gear shifts. The coordinated operation of the two clutches enables smooth and efficient gear shifting, thereby improving vehicle performance and the driving experience.
