Thumbs up What is your car's gear shifting?

The most common types of cars have automatic and manula transmissions. Manual transmission speaks for itself. This type is where the driver shifts gear manually through the vehicle's clutch. Automatic Transmission shifts gear without the driver's intervention.

Recently, there is a breakthrough to the types of vehicle gear transmission, it is called the Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) .

AMT operates similarly to a manual transmission except that it does not require clutch actuation or shifting by the driver. Automatic shifting is controlled electronically (shift-by-wire) and performed by a hydraulic system or electric motor. In addition, technologies can be employed to make the shifting process smoother than conventional manual transmissions.

For more, automated manual transmissions combine the best features of manual and automatic transmissions. Manual transmissions are lighter than conventional automatic transmissions and suffer fewer energy losses. However, most drivers prefer the convenience of an automatic.
