What is dual-clutch transmission fluid?
Motorcraft® Dual Clutch Transmission Fluid is specifically formulated for use in the DPS6 PowerShift twin dry-clutch transmission. It was designed as dual functioning fluid to protect gear, synchronizers and bearings, while also used to operate the transmission’s shift mechanisms.
Does dual-clutch transmission have fluid?
With many DCT’s having a wet clutch system, they require fluids that are compatible with the clutch material and provide the correct frictional characteristics along with the protection for the gearbox itself.
Can a dual-clutch be automatic?
Further, dual-clutch transmissions do not require the driver to manually change from one gear to another using the shift lever. Instead, the gear selection process is automated so that a DCT can act as an automatic transmission.

What is dry clutch transmission?
There are two types of clutches that can be utilised in a dual clutch transmission, a dry and wet clutch. The dry clutch uses no lubrication oil for the plates, whereas a wet clutch will use oil to keep the system cool.
What is better dual-clutch transmission or automatic?
When compared to manual transmissions and traditional automatics, dual-clutch automatics are quicker to shift. The powertrain never has to be disconnected from the transmission, which allows for lightning-quick gear changes. Dual-clutch transmissions also offer two more benefits over a standard manual or automatic.
What if your transmission fluid is brown?
If your transmission fluid is deep red or brown, your transmission fluid is old and most likely causing extra damage within your transmission. If it is dark brown, that is a sign you have burnt transmission fluid from overheating. You should also check for any particles within your transmission fluid.
