Toyota brands the K120 as the “Direct Shift” CVT and includes a physical first gear (also known as a "launch gear") and nine additional simulated gears, for a total of 10. The launch gear is engaged when the vehicle takes off from being stopped and transitions to the belt drive as the vehicle picks up speed.
Right-hand side VCT oil control solenoid and harness from a Ford 4.6L SOHC 3V V8 engine Variable camshaft timing ( VCT ) is an automobile variable valve timing technology developed by Ford . It allows for more optimum engine performance, reduced emissions, and increased fuel efficiency compared to engines with fixed camshafts.
Subaru motor vehicles have used manual, conventional automatic, and continuously variable (CVT) transmissions. Subaru manufactures its own manual and CVT transmissions (for non-Kei cars). Since the 2014 model year, the conventional automatic transmissions in North American-spec Subaru vehicles have been replaced with Lineartronic CVTs (with one ...
Lower torque versions of the PowerShift transmission, including the 6DCT250 DPS6 version used in the Ford Fiesta and Ford Focus, used dry clutches and electric motor/solenoid actuation. [ 2 ] Newer PowerShift transmissions are still manufactured by Getrag and can be found on Ford Fiesta and Puma models starting with MY2020, these are known as ...
A transmission solenoid or cylinoid is an electro-hydraulic valve that controls fluid flow into and throughout an automatic transmission. Solenoids can be normally open or normally closed. They operate via a voltage or current supplied by the transmission computer or controller.
A parking pawl is a device fitted to a motor vehicle's automatic transmission that locks up the transmission when the transmission shift lever selector is placed in the Park position.
Continuously variable transmissions are an automotive transmission fitted in a vehicle, using a continuously variable drive ratio or variator device. The typical "automatic gearbox" is not usually considered to be a continuously-variable transmission, as it relies on shifting between discrete gear ratios.
There are also mechanical designs for torque converters, many of which are similar to mechanical continuously variable transmissions or capable of acting as such as well. . They include the pendulum-based Constantinesco torque converter, the Lambert friction gearing disk drive transmission and the Variomatic with expanding pulleys and a belt dri
