What is a 6-speed Tiptronic transmission?
1 Answers
6-speed Tiptronic refers to a transmission that combines a six-speed manual mode with automatic shifting. Tiptronic means a vehicle has both manual and automatic gear-shifting functions. An automatic transmission includes the Tiptronic transmission, which is an automatic transmission capable of manual gear selection. The manual mode in Tiptronic differs from a pure manual transmission car—although it has a clutch mechanism in its structure, it doesn't require driver operation. A conventional automatic transmission has neutral gear, drive gear, hill climb first gear, hill climb second gear, and reverse gear. In addition to these, a Tiptronic transmission also features a driver-controlled gear increase/decrease function.
