TREMEC Introduces New 7-Speed Dual Clutch Transmission
TREMEC has recently presented its new dual-clutch transmission solution named TR-9070 DCT. The new product is notable for impressive operating characteristics with the maximum torque of 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) and extremely rapid gear shifting (less than 1/10 of a second).
No matter whether you are a common driver or a
racer, this smart transmission will adjust to your driving style and ensure
that you’ll have the best driving experience.
TR-9070 DCT
The primary goal of the TR-9070 design was to reduce its dimensions. For this purpose, all hydraulic elements, sensors and clutches are embedded into the gearbox. In addition, an efficient design solution also includes die-cast aluminum casing, a close-packed positioning of the gear cluster, hollow shafts, a durable, glass-filled polyamide 66 material sump pan, and more. The DCT is controlled with a high-performance, 32-bit TCU unit. This component is responsible for operation of all transmission elements, including the hydraulic unit, the 2 clutches, 8 gears, and the parking lock. All transmission components were designed and produced in-house to ensure the highest efficiency rate.
Thanks to the advanced dual-clutch twin system and its fully synchronized operation, the new transmission shifts gears with the ferocity of a race car. The clutch structure combines the advantages of wet and dry clutch solutions into a hybrid design. A high capacity wet clutch unit with optimized friction materials can cool down the clutches with the help of transmission fluid individually (only when it is required). As a result of this technical solution, there is a regulated heat impact and much lower dragging. To make sure that all transmission components will function correctly under all conditions, the TR-9070 DCT is ISO 26262 and ASIL-D compliant.

The new transmission embodies TREMEC’s vast
experience in producing highly-efficient transmission solutions. This new
product is the result of great financial and mental efforts. Fortunately, the
end justified the means. In terms of design, the new TR-9070 DCT is a work of
art which found application in Ford’s new Shelby Mustang GT500.
