  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. Manual transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_transmission

    A manual transmission (MT), also known as manual gearbox, standard transmission (in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States), or stick shift (in the United States), is a multi-speed motor vehicle transmission system where gear changes require the driver to manually select the gears by operating a gear stick and clutch (which is usually ...

  4. 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.

  5. Shift blocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_blocking

    Shift blocking is a feature of automobile manual transmissions added to improve fuel economy ratings in the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) system by preventing a driver from switching from first gear to second or third as would be done normally. A solenoid prevents the shifter from engaging these gears, forcing the driver to shift from ...

  6. Shift kit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_kit

    For manual transmission equipped cars, it is a component that replaces the stock gear selector (shifter). A shift kit usually shortens the throws of selecting a gear (also known as a short throw shift or short shifter), therefore allowing a driver to reduce the shift time and change gears more efficiently.

  8. Automated manual transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_manual_transmission

    Automated manual transmissions can be semi-automatic or fully-automatic in operation. Several different systems to automate the clutch and/or shifting have been used over the years, but they will generally use one of the following methods of actuation for the clutch and/or shifting: hydraulic or electro-hydraulic actuation, [12] electro-mechanical, [13] pneumatic, [6] [14] [15] electromagnetic ...
