Are Paddle Shifters for Automatic or Manual Transmission?
1 Answers
Paddle shifters are used in vehicles with manual-automatic transmission. Below is relevant information about paddle shifters: 1. Function: They are quick-shifting devices that significantly enhance driving maneuverability. Paddle shifters are typically located behind the steering wheel. When operating them, drivers usually only need to shift into D, S, or manual mode. Using paddle shifters allows drivers to perform upshifts and downshifts without taking their hands off the steering wheel. 2. Classification: There are two types of paddle shifters: fixed and follow-up. Fixed: Fixed paddle shifters remain stationary relative to the dashboard, meaning they don't rotate when the steering wheel turns during cornering. Follow-up: Follow-up paddle shifters rotate with the steering wheel, meaning they turn together with the steering wheel during cornering.
