The Alfa TCT is wet clutch and yes, will require fresh fluid and filter every three years. Reports suggest has been more reliable than DSGs and Powershifts, but not as many of them around so that may be the reason for not as many reports of failures. I'd stick with six-speed torque converter, now available in some Focus models, all Mazdas, some Citroens and Peugeots and five and nine speed torque converters in some Hondas.
