Someone please explain.
Advantages:
1-Extreme fast up shift and downshift time of 8 milliseconds
2-Practically no power loss whatsoever, because of the short shift time
3-Better fuel economy than the planetary geared automatic transmission and manual transmission
4-When the car is going downhill the clutch disengages, allowing the car to coast
Disadvantages:
1-Response time from letting off the throttle and then reapplying is lengthy, around 400ms, depending on the situation
2-Can be expensive to manufacture, this discourages many automakers |
2nd disadvantage shouldn't matter to most of people on this forum.
we got the dough right? LOL
