Wet dual-clutch transmissions, in general, have multiple clutch plates and need a supply of a specific formulated oil to lubricate and cool the components. This type of wet clutch has much higher torque inputs. The lubricating oil keeps surfaces clean and provides smoother performance and longer life.
In w-DCT applications, the lubricant is applied to dissipate the heat from the frictional surfaces in contact. The torque transmitting capacity is slightly reduced due to decreased coefficient of friction between the contact surfaces due to the presence of the specific lubricant.
This type of unique clutch fluid is located inside the engine casing and the noise level in a wet clutch is less when compared to dry clutch applications. The presence of this specific formulated oil between plates helps in that management of noise. The life cycle of a wet clutch application is often high when compared to that of dry clutch, and the maintenance requirements and cost of a wet clutch types are significantly lower.
According to the company, Champion Brands’ formula for wet dual-clutch transmission fluid (W-DCT) meets or exceeds warranty requirements for many Euro, Asia and American vehicles including VW and Audi 6-speed FWD, Renault EDC 6-speed, Chrysler Powershift 6-speed, Ford Powershift 6-Speed, Mitsubishi TC-SST 6-speed, Peugeot & Citroen DCS 6-speed, Volvo powershift 6-speed, BMW 6 & 7-speed, Ferrari 7-speed, Renault 6 & 7-speed, Volvo 6-speed, and Bugatti Veyron.
