Sentences with phrase «transmission in the right gear»

Flooring the TT RS on the straights, the engine added its throaty soundtrack to the appreciable acceleration while I struggled to keep the seven speed dual clutch transmission in the right gear, getting help from the virtual tachometer display, which lit up yellow then blinked red as I approached the rev limiter.

Not exact matches

The manual transmission is now a seven - speed — top gear is past sixth, a dogleg move to the right — and the awkward thumb switches for the PDK dual - clutch automatic are being dropped in favor of more intuitive paddle shifters.

It is a transparent transmission, seemingly in the right gear no matter the circumstance.

Also on the knob is a clever and useful Sport Response «push to pass» button that instantly drops the transmission down several gears while quickening the throttle and steering for 20 seconds, allowing you to blow right past that lumbering pickup in your lane with hardly any effort on your part.

The supercharged V - 6 is quiet, although you can hear and feel the transmission finding the right gear as the speed drops and the powertrain prepares itself in case you want to accelerate again.

, and the transmission chose the right gear every time in hard driving.

The 7 - speed transmission is always in exactly the right gear, and the 4.7 - liter V - 8 is powerful enough for anything from autobahn cruising speeds to off - roading (I've driven it through very deep snow, on the beach, through rocky fields, rough terrain, etc.).

It's modest in output next to the AMG fours in A-classes and the like, delivering 242bhp at 5500rpm, but torque of 273 lb ft from 1300rpm and a nine - speed 9G - Tronic automatic transmission mean it's typically in the right gear at the right time for adequate performance.

While the automatic transmission models have been developed to select the right gear at the right time depending on the mode chosen in the JaguarDrive Control ™ system and according to driving style, enthusiasts will make the most of manual shift control using the steering wheel - mounted paddles.

An automated manual transmission requires the same sort of action, however since drivers don't have to use the clutch and gear shift themselves, they often kept their right foot planted flat on the throttle — as you do in a car with an automatic transmission.

The couple of complaints I have after a weekend are that the engine does sound a little coarse and grumbles at low rpm as Graham mentions above, and the transmission tuning did seem a little off as if it wasn't quite in the right gear a lot of times.

Unfortunately, in its default settings the Cooper S suffers from chronic turbo lag and an optional five - speed automatic transmission ($ 1,250) that just couldn't seem to find the right gear.

Moreover, the 500h transmission allows full manual override, right to the engine's redline, and it will allow the driver to actually overpower the rear tires and slide the back end in lower gears.

We noted the transmission's lack of aggressive downshifting above, but in normal driving it works transparently, finding the right gear without a lot of bother.

Also, it is absolutely essential that the manual transmission be in the right gear for the speed you're going.

The six - speed automatic transmission in the Volvo S60 Cross Country T5 AWD is smooth and always seems to have the car in the right gear.

Many vehicles in this class have a delay when you are cruising and want to quickly accelerate just a bit as the transmission hunts for the right gear.

Every 2019 Ram 1500 is equipped with a fully electronic TorqueFlite eight - speed automatic transmission with a wide spread of gear ratios that keeps engine rpm in the right range for the task.

But Mazda has ensured the transmission will provide drivers with the right gear for emergencies, by integrating a «kick - down switch» in the accelerator pedal.

In terms of transmission, the nine - speed transmission spends a bit too much time searching for the right gear.

The four - speed automatic transmission never seems to be in the right gear to take advantage of the engine's power.

The throttle is very responsive, and the transmission always seems to be in just the right gear to deliver respectable levels of torque for passing and accelerating.

Of course, for performance driving it's better to be in the right gear to begin with, so the CLS» transmission is also equipped with two more programs, Sport and Sport +, that hold progressively lower gears and change the shift points to more aggressive settings for even better responsiveness and even more roar from the force - fed V - 8.

The transmission in the tester typically seemed to be in the right gear, and that negated any need to shift the vehicle using its self - selection option.

Today's Mercedes - Benz automatic transmission gear selector is placed in a stalk on the right side of the steering column.

It's one of the better transmissions we've experienced in a light car, also delivering the right gear required in a timely way when shifted manually.

Also Luke explains how to select the right gear in a truck with a 10 - speed, 13 - speed, 18 - speed and synchromesh transmission when taking off.
