DCT clutch replacement
I know the clutch cant be replaced , only way is to replace the whole tranny. I drive pretty much, 25k - 30k a year and now my 2011 has 39k miles. I don't know how long the clutch can last. Should i get the extended warranty?

they can be replaced with oem ones. removing the dct trans take pretty much the same amount of time as the 6speed and doing the clutch packs doesn't take a large amount ether. you must have a scan tool that can reset the dct and relearn the clutch slip points and etc.

The DCT has two wet multiplate clutches. The wear is distributed on two clutches rather than one, being imersed in oil also reduces wear, multiplate design distributes the wear on multiple discs for both clutches and since they are electronicaly controlled, the clutches do not see as much human error/abuse. IMO the clutches should last a long time. Only the future can tell though .
Fixed that for you Last edited by CanAutM3; 04-17-2013 at 08:55 AM.. |
