2. Powershifting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powershifting

   Keeping the engine in its power band allows it to put down power quicker when the clutch is re-engaged and power returns to the transmission. In a lot of powershift setups there is also a method of cutting the ignition or fuel delivery in a manner similar to a rev limiter , which prevents the engine from over-revving when the load from the ...

3. 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.

4. Shift-by-wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift-by-wire

   Park-by-wire can be considered a part of a shift by wire system, as it shifts the transmission into park mode. [1] The main components of a park by wire system include the driver interface which could be a lever, switch, or knob; an electronic control unit ; and actuators which are capable of driving the parking pawl into and out of the locking ...

   Drivers said the vehicles shudder and shake in higher gears, and hesitate and lurch in lower gears, even after repair attempts. They also accused GM of telling dealers to provide assurance that ...

6. Power take-off - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_take-off

   A PTO at the rear end of a farm tractor A PTO (in the box at the bottom) in the center of the three-point hitch of a tractor. A power take-off or power takeoff (PTO) is one of several methods for taking power from a power source, such as a running engine, and transmitting it to an application such as an attached implement or separate machine.

7. Overdrive (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

   When it is switched on, an automatic transmission can shift into overdrive mode after a certain speed is reached (usually 70+ km/h [40-45 mph or more] depending on the load). When it is off, the automatic transmission shifting is limited to the lower gears. Overdrive should usually be selected when the average speed is above 70 km/h (40-45 mph).

8. Ford AOD transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_AOD_transmission

   Unlike the AOD-E, Reverse, 1st, and 2nd gear ratios in the 4R70-W are numerically higher, giving the transmission a better mechanical advantage and, in turn, better take-off acceleration, better passing acceleration, slightly lower fuel consumption, and designed for better gearset strength; the 4th gear ratio in the 4R70-W is up 0.70:1 from 0.67:1.

9. Cycloidal drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloidal_drive

   Cycloidal drives can feature zero backlash and high torque capacity while being compact in size, unlike Involute gearboxes. They are useful in situations where low speed with high torque is required. Cycloidal drives may be designed with significantly higher contact areas for their size than any gear-based transmission such as epicyclic gearing ...
