  2. Double-clutching (technique) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-clutching_(technique)

    Before the introduction of transmission synchronizers in 1927, [2] double clutching was a technique required to prevent damage to an automobile's gearing during shifts. Due to the difficulty and most often unnecessary redundancy involved in the technique, coupled with the advent of synchronized gearing systems, it has largely fallen into disuse in light vehicles.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-clutch_transmission

    [3] [7] By timing the operation of one clutch to engage at the precise moment that the other is disengaging, a DCT can shift gears without interrupting the torque supply to the wheels. [6] [7] A DCT uses clutch packs (as per a manual transmission), rather than the torque converter used by traditional (hydraulic) automatic transmissions. [1]

  5. Non-synchronous transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-synchronous_transmission

    The clutch brake not only slows or stops the idle gear axis but can also prevent shifting into gear until the clutch pedal is released a few centimetres (or inches) off the floor. In order to shift into gear, the clutch must be halfway off the floor, otherwise, the clutch brake will prevent the transmission from being shifted into or out of gear.

  7. 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.

  9. Ford PowerShift transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_PowerShift_transmission

    The Ford unit is a six-speed with one clutch acting on reverse, first, third, and fifth gears, and the other used for second, fourth, sixth gears. As the first gear is engaged, the 2-4-6 clutch is disengaged and the second gear cogs are engaged. At the appropriate time, the R-1-3-5 clutch is disengaged and the 2-4-6 clutch is engaged.
