Automanual Transmission



1998-11-16

Automated manual transmission (AMT), also known as a clutchless manual, denotes a type of multi-speed motor vehicle transmission system that is closely based on the mechanical design and internal build of a conventional manual transmission, and uses automation to operate either the clutch, and/or the gear shifting. Automated manual transmission, also known as a clutchless manual, denotes a type of multi-speed motor vehicle transmission system that is closely based on the mechanical design and internal build of a conventional manual transmission, and uses automation to operate either the clutch, and/or the gear shifting. Earlier versions of these transmissions that are semi-automatic in operation, such as Autostick, ca. Get These Manual Transmission Cars While You Still Can One of the greatest joys of driving is making a perfectly timed shift, dancing on the clutch pedal, and perfectly matching the revs as you. The Chrysler “Quick Shift Neon” Automanual Transmission Project 983082 Formula One motorsport competition, ever seeking increases in powertrain responsiveness and efficiency, has utilized electronically-shifted manual transmissions for nearly a decade. Automatic transmission 2017 Audi R8 V10 Plus. Believe it or not, a transmission that shifts gears on its own was once considered a luxury, and it was an expensive option on many models for a long.

Formula One motorsport competition, ever seeking increases in powertrain responsiveness and efficiency, has utilized electronically-shifted manual transmissions for nearly a decade. With the advent of this technology for passenger car usage ( for example the Magneti Marelli “Selespeed” system), new levels of powertrain electronic control become possible. At the same time, world-wide emission and fuel economy standards have driven powertrain designers to seek transmissions that are multi-faceted; able to offer manual transmission levels of driveline efficiency while simultaneously offering the ability to be automatically controlled.
This paper will document a 1995-1996 Chrysler advanced powertrain concept study that culminated in a fully driveable, fully automatic, manual 5 speed transmission Neon coupe. The particular difficulties of electronically managing clutch control, gearshift synchronization, and synchronization duration will be scrutinized while detailed data traces will chronicle their successful resolution. In the end, a unique electro-mechanical control system was devised which allows electronic selection and control of a power-interrupted shift, manual transmission and dry friction clutch, affording heretofore unachievable levels of powertrain efficiency.
