What Transmission Does the Focus Use?
1 Answers
The currently available Focus models offer a variety of transmission options, including 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual/automatic/dual-clutch/automatic manual, and 8-speed automatic/automatic manual transmissions. Below is relevant information about transmissions: 1. Transmissions are categorized into the following types: manual transmission, conventional automatic transmission, CVT continuously variable transmission/CVT with simulated gears, dual-clutch transmission, and AMT transmission. 2. The purpose of a transmission is to enable the car to drive at very low stable speeds, which would be difficult to achieve with just the engine's minimum stable speed; the reverse gear allows the car to move backward; and the neutral gear allows the engine to be separated from the drivetrain for extended periods during engine startup, parking, and coasting.
