When the engine is running and the clutch is engaged (i.e., clutch pedal up), the flywheel spins the clutch pressure plate and hence the transmission. The design of most manual transmissions for cars is that gear ratios are selected by locking selected gear pairs to the output shaft inside the transmission.
The typical modern TCU uses signals from engine sensors, automatic transmission sensors and from other electronic controllers to determine when and how to shift. [2] More modern designs share inputs or obtain information from an input to the ECU, whereas older designs often have their own dedicated inputs and sensors on the engine components.
Heel-and-toe shifting [1] is an advanced driving technique used mostly in performance driving with a manual gearbox, [2] although some drivers use it on the road in everyday conditions in the interest of effectiveness.
A direct-shift gearbox (DSG, German: Direktschaltgetriebe [1]) [2] [3] is an electronically controlled, dual-clutch, [2] multiple-shaft, automatic gearbox, in either a transaxle or traditional transmission layout (depending on engine/drive configuration), with automated clutch operation, and with fully-automatic [2] or semi-manual gear selection.
The scope of participation is limitless, because all members of society—adults, children, businesses, institutions, organizations, and governments—are able to downshift [1] even if many demographic strata do not start "high" enough to "down"-shift. In practice, down-shifting involves a variety of behavioral and lifestyle changes. The ...
Synchronized downshift rev-matching system (SynchroRev Match) is a technology invented by Nissan for use on the Nissan 370Z.In combination with the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and various sensors, the engine electronically blips the throttle for the driver during both downshifts and upshifts to allow for better and smoother shifting, and improved handling.
Pressure regulator for domestic water supply. Outlet pressure is set with the blue handwheel and shown on the vertical scale. A water pressure regulating valve limits inflow by dynamically changing the valve opening so that when less pressure is on the outside, the valve opens up fully, and too much pressure on the outside causes the valve to shut.
Powershifting, also known as full-throttle shifting or flat-shifting, is a method of gear shifting used with manual transmissions to reduce the time where the driving wheels are not powered.
