These sensors' output, combined with the output from a sensor connected to the gearbox which measures its current speed and gear, is fed into a transmission control unit, electronic control unit, engine control unit, or microprocessor, [19] [20] or another type of electronic control system. This control system then determines the optimal timing ...
The TPS sensor along with the vehicle speed sensor are the two main inputs for most TCUs. Older transmissions use this to determine engine load, with the introduction of drive-by-wire technology, this is often a shared input between the ECU and TCU. The input is used to determine the optimum time and characteristics for a gear change according ...

It followed Fioravanti's Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona as the second Ferrari to feature the characteristic swage line dividing the body into upper and lower halves.
At around the same time, Jean Alesi’s grey Ferrari 355 was stolen from the parking garage at his hotel. That car remains missing. The Met says the recovered car is worth "close to £350,000," or ...
