The Difference Between AMT Transmission and Tiptronic Transmission

[BethanyFitz]

The differences between AMT transmission and Tiptronic transmission are as follows: 1. AMT is a semi-automatic transmission that does not have a clutch pedal. When shifting gears, it operates similarly to Tiptronic - after the vehicle comes to a complete stop, simply press the brake and directly move the gear lever. 2. AT is the earliest automatic transmission that appeared in automobiles. It is a very complex precision device, and currently, there is basically no domestic production capability in China. Tiptronic, on the other hand, is based on AMT but adds paddle shifters or gear positions that allow for manual forced upshifting or downshifting. 3. Under normal operating conditions, AMT shifts gears at 1800-2200 RPM, while in sport mode, it shifts at 2500-3000 RPM. The AMT transmission has five gear positions in total: R, N, D, A/E, and +/-. The difference from Tiptronic is that it lacks a parking gear (P gear), so when parking, the handbrake must be engaged for an AMT transmission.
