   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_5L40-E_transmission

   The 5L40-E (and similar 5L50) are a series of automatic transmissions made by General Motors. Designed for longitudinal engine configurations, the series includes 5 forward gears and is used in the GM Sigma platform vehicles from Cadillac, the Pontiac Solstice, BMW, and Holden Commodore. The electronically controlled transmission is designed ...

4. Overdrive (mechanics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdrive_(mechanics)

   A plate warns to only engage the unit in third and fourth gears. Overdrive is the operation of an automobile cruising at sustained speed with reduced engine speed (rpm), leading to better fuel consumption, lower noise, and lower wear. [1] The term is ambiguous. [1] The most fundamental meaning is that of an overall gear ratio between engine and ...

5. Non-synchronous transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-synchronous_transmission

   A non-synchronous transmission, also called a crash gearbox, is a form of manual transmission based on gears that do not use synchronizing mechanisms. They require the driver to manually synchronize the transmission's input speed (engine RPM) and output speed (driveshaft speed). Non-synchronous transmissions are found primarily in various types ...

6. Rev limiter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rev_limiter

   Rev limiter. A rev limiter is a device fitted in modern vehicles that have internal combustion engines. They are intended to protect an engine by restricting its maximum rotational speed, measured in revolutions per minute (RPM). Rev limiters are pre-set by the engine manufacturer. There are also aftermarket units where a separate controller is ...

7. Direct-drive mechanism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-drive_mechanism

   The main drawback is that a special type of electric motor is often needed to provide high torque outputs at low rpm. Compared with a multi-speed transmission, the motor is usually operating in its optimal power band for a smaller range of output speeds for the system (e.g., road speeds in the case of a motor vehicle).
