  2. 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.

  3. Dual-clutch transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-clutch_transmission

    A dual-clutch transmission (DCT) (sometimes referred to as a twin-clutch transmission) is a type of multi-speed vehicle transmission system, that uses two separate clutches for odd and even gear sets. [1] The design is often similar to two separate manual transmissions with their respective clutches contained within one housing, and working as ...

  4. 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(video_game)

    In early 2015, Rust added a feature that decided each player's skin colour based on their Steam ID. [37] In the original game, the heads-up display featured statistics like as health, hunger and radiation level. [9] These were later modified and hidden statistics such as hypothermia were added. Monuments went through a phase where developers ...

  6. Non-synchronous transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-synchronous_transmission

    Double-clutching: releasing the clutch in neutral to synchronize the speeds of the shafts within the transmission [7] Float shifting: shifting without using the clutch; In big rigs and semi-trucks, the driver may have to complete 24 or more gear changes when accelerating from a standstill to 70 mph (110 km/h).

  7. Mercedes-Benz 9G-Tronic transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_9G-Tronic...

    The MCT transmission is essentially the 9G-Tronic with a start-off wet clutch (NAK for German Nass-Anfahrkupplung) replacing the torque converter. This saves weight and optimises the response to the accelerator pedal input. It is a computer-controlled double-clutching. [11] The MCT acronym refers to this multiple-plate clutch.

  8. Heel-and-toe shifting - Wikipedia

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

    When a car with a manual transmission is in motion with the clutch engaged, there is a mechanical connection between the engine and wheels which keeps them in sync with each other. When shifting, however, depressing the clutch is required. This disconnects the engine from the wheels, and the engine speed is no longer linked to that of the wheels.
