Do You Need to Press the Brake When Starting or Shifting Gears in an Automatic Transmission?
1 Answers
When starting or shifting gears in an automatic transmission, you need to press the brake in the following situations: 1. Shifting from P to R; 2. Shifting from P to D; 3. Shifting from N to D. You do not need to press the brake in these situations: 1. Shifting from D to N; 2. Shifting from R to N; 3. Shifting from D to S. There are three common types of automatic transmissions in cars: AT transmission, CVT transmission, and dual-clutch transmission. The AT transmission, also known as a torque converter transmission, connects to the engine via a torque converter and contains many planetary gears inside. The CVT transmission is a relatively simple automatic transmission, consisting of only two cone pulleys and a steel belt. The dual-clutch transmission is a common automatic transmission that has an additional clutch and gear-shifting control mechanism compared to a manual transmission, with one set controlling odd-numbered gears and the other controlling even-numbered gears.
