The dry clutch is what has been traditionally put in tractors, and almost all automobiles for that matter, since biblical times. Just a clutch plate spinning in the bellhousing. Now a wet clutch works on the same principle but the clutch is operateing in a oil or hydrolic fluid resevour. Since the name, "wet clutch" The fluid lubricates the clutch and supposidly extends the life of the clutch. I think, IMHO, a wet clutch is better than a dry but we have been doing it dry for a long time with minimal problems. Hope this helps, K Follow Ups: Re: Re: Wet /Dry Clutch ?
