However, the inevitable loss of torque
during the gear change impacts driver comfort, since the shift points are defined by the electronics, not the driver.
This transmission has sport and manual shifting modes, but the former is not particularly aggressive, and the latter still suffers from torque converter
lag during gear changes.
eTorque also enhances the driving experience of the 2019 Ram 1500 by adding torque to the
crankshaft during gear changes to minimize noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).
I guess that the momentum of the pedal
during gear changes meant that after a couple of miles things seemed normal again, and when they tried it in the garage, maybe they just knocked the pedal when they got in the car.
Best of all, under full throttle in Sport Plus mode, the engine computer slightly delays ignition and
injection during gear changes, quickening the shifts.
When this selectable feature is enabled, the Drive - by - Wire throttle system automatically adjusts the engine
rpm during gear changes to match the next gear the driver selects.
However, it's cockpit comfort is impacted somewhat by the driver's centre armrest, which even when stowed away can encroach on elbow
space during gear changes.
Constant - speed sweepers and in - town hairpins are taken in style, but any full throttle application tugs at the steering wheel enough to disrupt a cornering line or demand a firm
hand during gear changes.
• Series 1 cars can suffer from drivetrain shunt which was rectified in post-2004 Series 2 models although owners still complain of some
roughness during gear changes.
The latter two are the most fun, offering the tidiest handling and partial cylinder suppression
during gear changes for a nice exhaust rumble during downshifts — pop!
Rider can select from three different shifting modes, and a G switch enhances off - road functionality by reducing the amount of clutch slip during gear changes
With power - shift gear changes without any interruption in power delivery (with the exception of the range - change, which takes place when shifting from 6th to 7th gear), the 12 - speed transmission maintains torque, and the truck does not lose any
speed during gear changes.
As the actuators are required
only during gear changes, the Easy - R suffers far fewer energy losses than a conventional automatic transmission, and the automaker believes that the new technology is a much better alternative to automatic and manual gearboxes alike.
Both cars were very well - behaved on urban streets, although I felt the torque
shift during gear changes more with the V - 8, taking a temporary toll on how much the SL550 pampered me.
Our test car suffered from a sticky throttle, which would cause the engine to hang onto revs for a second, even increasing engine speed at times, while backing off from the
throttle during a gear change.
Delivering seamless acceleration at any speed and in any gear, the application of torque is almost
uninterrupted during gear changes, reducing lurching while in motion and between shifts.
The dual clutches engage and disengage in a way that provides seamless delivery of torque to the wheels,
even during gear changes.
They're a cheap - to - produce and simple means of achieving automatic shifting, and the shift action they produce can be very smooth (i.e. no «lurching»
during gear changes).
During a gear change, therefore, one clutch simply opens and the other closes at the same time, enabling gear changes to take place within milliseconds.
