The researchers have identified three different transmission regimes: a solid - like scenario which transmits torque much like a macroscopic gear; a liquid - like scenario in which much of the energy input is lost to friction and an intermediate slipping scenario unique to soft materials which combines aspects of the solid - like and liquid - like behaviours.

It is with other dual - clutch transmissions, like Porsche's PDK unit, which shifts gears so quickly you'll actually want to use this feature.

The high - speed run doesn't require much more than checking tire pressures, switching off the air - conditioning, putting the adaptive dampers into their firmest setting, and switching the transmission into Sport mode, which locks out eighth gear.

To clarify something... the drivetrain is made so if you are requiring the car to go quicker (pressing the accelerator pedal harder), the transmission will hold the gear until it reaches a fail safe shift point (a point at which is predetermined if you go over «this point» it will cause damage to your drivetrain — this is on most stock production vehicles) or until you ease off the accelerator pedal, which tells the powertrain you no longer need to try and go quicker.

Then Chevy gives the gearbox to its calibration team to tune software and mitigate any wandering you might expect from a complex 10 - speed automatic transmission, creating shift - logic systems like «lift - foot gear - hold» mode, which aggressively holds a gear to prevent excessive upshifts and premature downshifts.

All use Mercedes's latest nine - speed 9G - TRONIC automatic transmission, which varies its cog - swapping attributes depending on the driving mode you've selected — in Eco it'll shuffle up to ninth as soon as conditions allow, while Sport and Sport + hang onto gears for longer and change down earlier.

«Low» mode showcases more aggressive shift logic for the eight - speed automatic transmission, which has better clutches, hangs onto gears longer, and changes ratios quicker than the standard transmission.

I don't understand transmissions well enough to comprehend the subtle differences, but I do know the CVT has the option of infinite gear ratios, which means it can't possibly be a traditional «gear» transmission.

Part of the Forester's issue with fuel economy is that — with either engine — Subaru's automatic transmission is only a four - speed, which drags down highway ratings in particular, and makes for abrupt - feeling downshifts, due to the wide spacing between gears.

The 7 - series» DSC includes a huge amount of sub-functions, including ABS (anti-lock brakes), ASC (stability control, including a separate mode for stabilizing a trailer), CBC (cornering brake control), DBC (Dynamic Brake Control, which recognizes panic situations and helps the driver to effect a full - braking panic stop with less pedal pressure), Brake Fade Compensation, Brake Drying (which applies the brakes slightly in wet conditions to keep the pads dry and thus ready for use), Brake Standby (which applies slight brake pressure in the event of a sudden lift from the gas, moving the brake pads up against the rotor for quicker response in a panic stop), Startoff Assistant (which prevents the 750i from rolling backwards down a hill as you start out), ACC Active Cruise Control (see below), and automatic brake hold (which holds the car at a stop even with the transmission in gear).

Even the base V6 is more than sufficient thanks in part to the Quickshift transmission, which disconnects the torque converter once you're in second gear to create a direct mechanical connection between the engine and the rear wheels.

Once underway, this boosted engine produces lots of torque across a wide band of rpm, which matches well with a six - speed automatic transmission that always chooses the right gear.

The severe dashboard angles and technology - laden center console — which features a joystick - style gear selector for the automatic transmission and the iDrive control knob — might be intimidating to some drivers, but the rich, upscale materials like wood, aluminum and soft leather invite you in a way that the design might not.

An automatic transmission does not have gears like a manual transmission which are physically meshed into one another or engaged.

That's partly because of the six - speed manual (fittingly, the only transmission offered), which slips into gears with a firm, cradling confidence, plus old school hydraulic steering.

This VW makes you feel like a great driver with its precise steering, transmission in which the clutch and gear shifter feel like extensions of your feet and hands, and a 2.0 - liter turbo that rewards you with a steady stream of power that's available throughout its wide rev band.

The only other possible link between transmission fluid and engine firing I can think of is safety switches preventing starting the engine when in the wrong gear, but I think those work in this car by preventing the key physically turning to the start position, which isn't what's happening here.

Generally transmission oils have better extreme pressure characteristics, which are better suited for meshing gears.

The transmission is a ZF eight - speed automatic, custom tuned for the XJR and including corner recognition technology, which senses when you're steering and holds its gear for optimum exit speed.

Thanks to AMG's software, the transmission shifts faster than pop culture trends and will even skip gears during downshifts when the driving mode chosen is Sport or Sport Plus (which uses a higher idle speed for faster launches).

The 1 - litre is also available with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with seven simulated «gears», which has a slightly lower 133 lb ft torque peak, but spreads it all the way from 1700 - 4500rpm.

Still, it was clear that the GT350's gearing is a little shorter than a conventional Mustang, partly due to the final - drive ratio of 3.73:1 and partly due to the six - speed transmission itself, which is like a close - ratio five - speed (fifth gear is 1.00:1) with an overdrive sixth.

Most manual transmission cars are either 5 - speed or 6 - speed, which basically means how many gear ratios the car has.

The affected vehicles, equipped with an eight - speed automatic transmission and a monostable gear selector, may mislead owners about which gear the vehicle is in and may not adequately warn the driver when driver's door is opened and the vehicle is not in PARK, allowing them to exit the vehicle while the vehicle is still in gear.
