2. Sudden unintended acceleration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration

   "Sudden acceleration incidents" (SAI) are defined for the purpose of this report as unintended, unexpected, high-power accelerations from a stationary position or a very low initial speed accompanied by an apparent loss of braking effectiveness. In a typical scenario, the incident begins at the moment of shifting to "Drive" or "Reverse" from ...

3. Chrysler PT Cruiser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_PT_Cruiser

   The 2000 PT Cruiser grew out of a collaboration with Robert A. Lutz, who was an executive at Chrysler at the time, Dr. Clotaire Rapaille, and Bryan Nesbitt. [21] Nesbitt later went on to design the Chevrolet HHR. The PT Cruiser's design was loosely inspired by the Chrysler Pronto Cruizer concept car while recalling the Chrysler and Desoto Airflow.

4. Powershifting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powershifting

   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. Unlike during a normal gear change, in a powershift the driver does not let off the accelerator.

5. Heel-and-toe shifting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heel-and-toe_shifting

   This technique ensures that maximum power can be reached the instant the brake pedal is released and the accelerator fully depressed. Rowing is the technique of downshifting more than one gear along with the heel-and-toe technique to provide engine braking and smoother deceleration/braking while in the intermediate gears.

6. 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. Autostick - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostick

   Switching between automatic and manual transmission modes is by moving the shift lever to the bottom that then allows upshifts and downshifts by moving the lever left and right. [9] The system works with shifter down into a gated area on the shift assembly that allows the shifter to be pushed to the right (up-shift) or to the left (down-shift ...

8. Limited-slip differential - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-slip_differential

   A significant difference between the limited-slip differential systems listed above and this brake-based system, is that brake-based systems do not inherently send the greater torque to the slower wheel, plus the added brake friction material wear that results from the use of such a system if the vehicle is driven in an environment where the ...

9. Parking pawl - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_pawl

   Interior of an automatic transmission, showing the toothed locking wheel and the pawl below it; a finger is touching the pawl. A parking pawl is a device fitted to a motor vehicle's automatic transmission that locks up the transmission when the transmission shift lever selector is placed in the Park position.
