The advantage of a gated shifter is that it guides the shift lever through a jagged slotted path, which allows for more precise gear control when changing gears.

I could also put the shifter in its manual gate and use the steering wheel - mounted paddles to choose my gears, but this torque converter automatic lacked the snappiness of a dual clutch transmission.

Nissan's gated 5 - speed automatic transmission came in handy on steep descents, where we often found ourselves shifting through the lower gear ranges to slow the vehicle and spare the brakes.

Also completely styled in this brushed chrome look are the inside door handles, frames for the gear shift lever and parking brake, the DSG gearshift gate and the three spokes of the leather sport steering wheel.

In typical BMW fashion, the five - speed manual provided smooth and precise shifts with the signature «tink» into each gate and gear ratios perfectly mated to the engine's rpm band.

The gearshift lever is used to select Drive, Reverse or Neutral mode in full automatic operation, and can be moved across its gate for sequential style, manual gear shifting.

The manual transmission has very short shift travel and utterly precise guiding of the shifter into the open gear lever gate.

With its precision navigating through the shift gate and its short travel, it enhances driving pleasure and prompts the driver to change gear more often than the universally free - revving engine actually needs.

The shifter's gates could use a bit more definition, as a vague first - to - second shift had us ending up in fourth gear more often than we'd have liked.

The five - speed automatic transmission shifted smoothly and the gated shifter made it easy to move between first and second gears whenever we needed to apply engine braking.

Second, with the shift lever moved over into the gate closest to the driver, the transmission will hold the engine RPM longer before shifting into the next gear, giving extra oomph whenever required.

On certain models you can opt for a center console with a gated shifter (the shift lever moves through a slotted path) for better control when shifting gears.

An all - new and class - exclusive electronic shifter with an all - new driver - oriented T - handle provides the driver with intuitive gear selection and offers an Auto Stick selector gate for added control.

Caution must be exercised when changing gears, however, as the shift gates are extremely narrow and (as we found out in testing) it is very easy to hit second gear instead of fourth.

The shifter, for example, moves through the gate as if on a well - worn track, while still showing great precision in gear changes.

The transmission options are either a Lamborghini - sourced six - speed manual gearbox with metal gate for the shift lever, or an Audi - developed R Tronic [2] gearbox — which is a semi-automatic, without a traditional clutch pedal with automatic gears shifting mode.

The option exists to use the stick shifter to change gears manually in a small mini gate to the left of the main automatic selection gate.

And in the absence of a conventional manual shift gate for the pop - up Jaguar J-gate style selector dial, the only way to revert to auto mode once you've selected manual via the standard steering wheel gear shifters is to pull and hold the right - side paddle, or rotate the dial selector between normal and Sport mode.

Gear changes required a bit of wrestling to push the shifter through the gate, and we found it easy to get lost in the gear pattern.
