The new automatic 9 - speed gearbox of the Mercedes shifts smoothly and is very flexible thanks to a wide range reduction ratio between the first and the ninth gear.

Like most new DCTs, the new transmission features dual dry clutches and two input shafts, allowing for seamless torque delivery between shifts, as well as gear - jumping to the optimal ratio, should the driver ask for it.

These systems may provide added features such as a varying of torque distribution between axles or varying gear ratios.

The second fixed gear (FG2) is located at the ratio of the synchronous transmission point between EVT1 and EVT2.

The hybrid system doesn't require a conventional transmission so it is fitted with a single fixed - gear ratio that creates a direct connection between moving components.

The new nine - speed has a wider 7.6:1 overall ratio — the difference between the first gear ratio and the top gear ratio — compared to the eight - speed transmission, with a «deep» 4.69 first gear that supports excellent off - the - line acceleration and a «tall» 0.62 top gear for low - rpm highway cruising.

With only small changes in rpm between gear ratios, the ideal gear is on hand in virtually any situation out on the road.

With two pure mechanical gear points, infinitely variable ratio in between, start - stop, regenerative braking, pure electrical mode, electric power assist, 100 % towing capability — the hybrid one seems to be better use of quite expensive planetary mechanics.

The overall gear ratio selected provides a balance between the amount of tractive torque available from the electric motor and the vehicle speed range available before the EV mode is disengaged at higher vehicle speeds.

A gear ratio is the relationship between one gear and another — such as one gear up where the bicycle pedals are, and the other gear back near the rear wheel, connected by the chain.

Compared with a conventional automatic transmission, which shifts among up to five gear ratios, a CVT uses the entire range of ratios between low and high gears.

Unlike conventional automatic transmissions, which shift between discrete gear ratios to match the engine speed to road speed, the Murano's Xtronic CVT is stepless, adjusting the relationship through two variable - diameter pulleys and a steel belt.

Transmission duties are taken care of by a 9 - speed automatic gearbox that is claimed to offers greater range of ratios and shorter steps between gears.

The greater the disparity in size between these two pulleys, the greater the range of gear ratios, efficiency and performance the transmission can offer.

Based on Automotive News Full - size Pickup segmentation A key element in the Ram 1500's exceptional performance, fuel efficiency and shift quality, the available TorqueFlite ® 8 - speed automatic transmission features 40 different adaptive shift patterns and a wide gear ratio with small, evenly spaced steps between the gears.

Where the six - speed bounced back and forth between gears downhill and was hesitant to downshift when climbing, Ford's 10 - speed just settled into a gear — with so many to choose from, it could choose a more accurate ratio — and pulled smoothly and strongly.

Incorporating an additional clutch and gear over Kia's existing 6AT, the ratio between the top gear and the lowest gear in the new transmission has been increased by 34 % over the 6AT, resulting in greater fuel economy and improved NVH in higher gears and faster acceleration and climbing performance in low gears.

Now these are surprisingly good figures for a four - cylinder limo, aided no doubt by the slick - shifting gearbox which remains smooth and rarely hunts between gears despite so many ratios.

Both vehicles benefit from nearly imperceptible gear changes due in part to very evenly spaced gear steps between each gear ratio.

It's helped considerably by a six - speed automatic transmission, which allows both a wider spread of gear ratios and closer ratios for less engine - speed change between shifts.

The six - speed automatic was smooth in operation, and its many ratios and the engine's broad torque band ensure that the correct gear for the situation is chosen more often than not, which is good, as there is no manual gear selection; the driver gets to choose between D and L only.
