DCT consists of two sub-transmissions located in one transmission housing. Each sub-transmission is designed like a manual transmission with its clutch assigned to it. Depending on the engine’s torque and space, the clutches can be either a wet for high torque applications or dry design which is more economical.
Dry Double Clutches are serviceable and do wear. Replacing a DCT does require some speciality tools to remove and refit the replacement clutch and this can be dependent on the specific DCT system.
Most clutch release systems have either a semi-hydraulic or a fully hydraulic system. Originally a cable was used from the pedal to the clutch fork however as modern engine compartments are narrowing this method is no longer used. The clutch cable from the pedal to the clutch fork is replaced by a hydraulic line, master cylinder and slave cylinder. In this configuration the clutch fork is actuated by the slave cylinder.
A fully hydraulic system sees the actuation of the clutch completely taken by the hydraulics through the Concentric Slave Cylinder (CSC).
When a new clutch kit is installed the flywheel must be either replaced or machined. This is because excessive heat from normal driving changes the structure of your flywheel surface which creates less friction affecting the performance of your clutch. By replacing or machining your flywheel the surface of the flywheel reinstated back to the original equipment friction characteristic.
