Ok, I'm familiar with motorcycle clutches where we basically have two kinds: wet and dry. Wet clutch shares the same bath of oil as the transmission, and the rest of the engine too. What about Civics, how are our clutches lubricated, the same way?

 

i'd say automatic trannys are wet clutches & standards are dry clutches

 

If you're lubing up your clutch, you won't be going anywhere fast... Autos don't use "clutches," per se; they use torque converters.

 

yea and they suck.






honda 5 speed uses 10W 30 motor oil

auto uses tranny fluid

 

But the 10w-30 doesn't actually ever touch the clutch... All trannies need lubrication, but clutches need friction.

 

I thought he wanted to know what to put inside to lube it up.

 

No, I'm asking what lubricates the clutch in our cars--not the transmission itself.

 

Nothing. A lubricated clutch disc would not be able to generate friction, and therefore somewhere in the neighborhood of 0% crank power would be transferred to the wheels.

 

yea it wouldnt be able to "grab" the gears

 

Actually auto's do have what is called "clutch packs".
