What! Clutch disk bathed in oil!
That would be insane!
Once you depresd the clutch pedal shift from (say) 1st to 2nd gear you won’t go any where. Your whole manual tranny is junk!

A wet clutch is to be the hydro resevoir that compresses the actuator to release presure on the presure plate fingers and the clutch disk from the fly wheel.

Yes, a dry clutch should be dry! And stay that way.

Most automatics and dual-clutch manuals run in an oil bath.

Pls see the link in #46.
