3. Semi-automatic transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-automatic_transmission

   An early example of a semi-automatic motorcycle transmission was the use of an automatic centrifugal clutch in the early 1960s by the Czechoslovakian manufacturer Jawa Moto. [83] Their design was used without permission in the 1965 Honda Cub 50 , which resulted in Jawa suing Honda for patent infringement and Honda agreeing to pay royalties for ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_transmission

   Semi-automatic transmissions on motorcycles are also referred to as auto-clutch transmissions, or sometimes, clutchless manual transmissions. They function in the same way as a conventional fully-manual motorcycle with a sequential gearbox , except they utilize a fully-automatic clutch system, or sometimes torque converter , but still require ...

   The original Servi-Cycle design had the engine drive the rear wheel by belt, with no transmission or clutch, requiring the engine to be shut off while the cycle is at rest. [8] In 1941, a pedal-operated clutch was added. [10] By 1950, Simplex added a belt-type automatic transmission.

6. Float shifting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_shifting

   Float shifting can reduce clutch wear because it is used so much less (only for starting from a standstill). Conversely, improper engagement of a gear (when the engine and transmission speeds aren't matched) can cause wear on the synchros and lockouts, and damage the gears by physically grinding them together due to a difference in speed.

7. Automatic transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_transmission

   This unit was an early semi-automatic transmission, based on the design of a conventional manual transmission, which used a servo-controlled vacuum-operated clutch system, with three different gear shifting modes, at the touch of a button; manual shifting and manual clutch operation (fully manual), manual shifting with automated clutch ...

9. Transmission (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_(mechanical...

   The most common design of automatic transmissions is the hydraulic automatic, which typically uses planetary gearsets that are operated using hydraulics. [ 11 ] [ 12 ] The transmission is connected to the engine via a torque converter (or a fluid coupling prior to the 1960s), instead of the friction clutch used by most manual transmissions and ...
