What is Manual-Shift Automatic Transmission?
1 Answers
Manual-shift automatic transmission combines manual gear shifting with automatic gear shifting in a vehicle. Essentially, it is still a type of automatic transmission that simulates the operation of a manual transmission through an electronic control system. This setup is added to automatic transmissions to enhance fuel efficiency and driving control, allowing drivers to regain the decision-making power over gear shift timing that was originally handled by the computer. Automatic transmissions can reduce the impact of manual shifting on the vehicle's drivetrain, thereby extending the vehicle's lifespan and improving ride comfort. Manual transmissions, lacking the hydraulic torque converter found in automatic transmissions, are generally more fuel-efficient.
