2. 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.

3. Electromagnetic clutch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_clutch

   The clutch slips until the input and output RPMs are matched. This happens relatively quickly typically (0.2 - 2 sec). When the current is removed from the clutch, the armature is free to turn with the shaft. Springs hold the friction disks away from each other, so there is no contact when the clutch is not engaged, creating a minimal amount of ...

4. Viscous coupling unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscous_coupling_unit

   Rotary viscous couplings with interleaved, perforated plates and filled with viscous fluids are used in automotive systems to transmit torque. [1] The device consists of a number of circular plates with tabs or perforations, fitted very close to each other in a sealed drum.

5. Manual transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_transmission

   The clutch pedal controls the pressure plate (clutch engaged – the clutch pedal is not being pressed) or not connected to the engine (clutch disengaged – the clutch pedal is being pressed down). 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.

6. Direct-shift gearbox - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-shift_gearbox

   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.
