But some semi-automatic transmissions have also been based on standard hydraulic automatic transmissions with torque converters and planetary gearsets. [1] [2] Names for specific types of semi-automatic transmissions include clutchless manual, [3] auto-manual, [4] [5] auto-clutch manual, [6] [7] and paddle-shift transmissions.
After the satisfactory experience with the new design, it was adopted in 1967 for the new core model K4C 025 (Type 722.2) of the first automatic transmission series from Mercedes-Benz. With the small block V8 engine M 116 , the K4A 040 (Type 722.2) was launched as a more powerful version of the same design.
The transmission debuted on the E 350 BlueTEC in 2013, [1] and successively replaced both the 7-speed 7G-Tronic (PLUS) transmission and the 5-speed 5G-Tronic transmission. It includes versions for a maximum input torque of 1,000 N⋅m (738 lb⋅ft). [2] After the 5G- and 7G-Tronic, this is the 3rd generation of modern automatic transmissions.
The TH400 was phased out for the 1980 models, when the A-727 replaced the TH-400 as the only automatic transmission option for both the SJ Wagoneer/Cherokee wagons and the J-10/J-20 trucks.

Mercedes-AMG developed the 7-speed MCT "Multi Clutch Technology" planetary automatic transmission. The MCT transmission is essentially the 7G-Tronic automatic transmission without a torque converter. Instead of a torque converter, it uses a compact wet startup clutch to launch the car from a stop and also supports computer-controlled double ...
