@AntRuggiero R35 has a dual clutch transmission (search "dual clutch transmission" on my channel). For each of these two clutches, there are multiple clutch plates, and it's a wet system. So to answer your question, yes.

Any clutch drop (if this is what your referring to, not automatic) puts shock loads on your drivetrain. Your drivetrain may not die the first time, or the 20th time, but you are decreasing the potential life of the drivetrain each time you do it, regardless of what RPM. Excessive shock loads eventually will lead to fatigue failure, regardless of if they break the something at the time of the load. My boss drives an A4, the clutch/tranny feels great even at 130k miles, but he's been nice to it.

The clutch disc. When you sit there at a red light, and partially engage the clutch to keep your car from rolling back, your pressing the clutch against the pressure plate and flywheel, quite simply just burning it off with no real purpose. Just hold your brake instead. Watch my video "clutches" for a clarification on the parts.

It's cool how you explained the advantages of the dry clutch because I own and race a former Jakub Smrz WSBK-spec 1198RS and I always wondered what the advantages were of having a dry clutch. That bike went over 200 mph at Daytona last year and has over 106 ft-Lbs of torque. Even with launch control and such we don't have to change out the clutch pack that often. Having a smooth rider helps (not me)! Haha!

@Beef1188 Honestly it probably wouldn't get much cooling regardless of what metal was going to be used. Copper may not have the strength at higher temperature as other metals. There's not a lot of mass to the housing, so it will heat up quickly and won't dissipate heat due to it's location in the engine. Oil is something you could circulate in though, and provide continuous cooling.

1) if there were not an inner diameter (the disk was a clutch material all the way to the center) the center would not wear much, and the edges would wear quite a bit, from the difference in speed. 2) A diaphragm spring, check out my video "clutches - explained" or "performance clutch" for an actual visualization.

With more clutch discs you can pack a greater surface area into a smaller package, and so you can transfer more torque in a smaller space, hence why it is popular in bikes. I believe wet and dry are both used in all applications. Wet has better cooling, so it could be used in racing for consistent feel of the clutch. Dry can deliver more torque since it has a greater frictional coefficient.

Correct, but D1 will not be the center, since there wouldn't be much friction. The actual relationship is usually something along the lines of D1 = 0.6D2 to 0.8D2.

If it's a wet clutch that's how it's cooled (using oil). But if it's dry it's cooling is minimal, and it would be used in applications that don't require much cooling.

Great explanation of something I never knew anything about. I'm guessing that race cars might design clutches for maximum performance, minimum weight/size, cost-is-no-object, and they don't care if it's ruined at the end of a race -- they just replace the wear components for each race.

I've been trying to understand the DCT on the new C8 and how the clutch actually works. Thanks for demystifying this subject. I just watched the video on how the gears and layshafts are laid out. Now on to trying to find out how long they'll actually last. And how expensive they are to replace. Both may be equally terrifying. I'm assuming because of the level of torque involved, it'll be a 'dry plate' setup.

It seems the clutches are somehow slipping. Either that or the computer disengages them slightly if the load is too high. I too (like an idiot) have dropped my clutch at 6000+ rpm, and having a worn, stock clutch it wasn't capable of grabbing at those speeds. So it just burnt the clutch and I felt dumb.

So is that a multi-plate clutch is needed because singular clutch clutch handle the torque you want to put through it? so you have multiple clutches to have more? Also, is wet clutch for low powered road bikes, and dry for racing? since dry has more friction?
