The downside of the dry clutch system is that:

Dual clutch transmissions still use a torque converter.

Which of the following statements is true with respect to a dry clutch?

Tech A states that a wet clutch is cooled with antifreeze. Tech B states that a dry clutch does not use hydraulic pressure to apply and release the clutches. Who is correct?

Tech A states that gears 1, 2, and 3 are on one shaft in a dual clutch transmission and 4, 5, and 6 are on the other shaft. Tech B states that gears 1, 3, and 5 are on one shaft and 2, 4, and 6 are on the opposite shaft. Who is correct?

Technician A says that a dual clutch transmission has improved fuel economy. Technician B says that the dual clutches are each connected to a separate input shaft that drives its own set of gears. Who is correct?

Tech A states that each clutch in a dual clutch transmission connects to a different input shaft. Tech B states that dual clutches are both connected to the same input shaft to give greater holding power. Who is correct?
