Will the transmission shift by itself if I forget to?

Volkswagen Touareg Frequently-Asked Questions
Yes. If you accelerate while in Tiptronic mode, the Touareg's 6-speed automatic transmission will automatically shift to the next higher gear if you forget to. Also, the transmission will automatically downshift to 1st gear when you stop. This feature is not currently available on Touaregs sold in the US. It isn't clear whether or not it will be possible to retrofit paddle shifters onto US Touaregs at some point in the future.

How can I disable the brake / transmission shift interlock?

Impala SS Frequently Asked Questions List
This "feature" was added to most GM cars during the time when Audi was suffering lawsuits from "unintended acceleration" cases. It prevents the driver from putting the car into gear without the brake fully engaged. It is easily defeated for more careful drivers. For a '96, just remove the shift handle, lift off the cover plate, and unplug the connector from the BTSI solenoid.

Is Prius available in a manual transmission?

Frequently Asked Questions on Toyota Prius Hybrid
No. The Prius doesn't use any kind of transmission found in a conventional non-hybrid car. In fact there is no step gear transmission in the Prius - it only has one gear ratio. Instead, in the Prius, all the torque is provided by the electric motors. However for the end user it is just the same as any other automatic car to drive. [back to top]

Like an automatic transmission, the fluid in your manual transmission needs to be changed regularly.

Will my manual transmission take the extra power of a 4.6?

RPi Engineering - Specialised Rover Engines - faqs
We have found with all the conversions we have fitted or supplied that, except when 'Racing' is required, the transmissions of most V8 powered vehicles would be unaffected unless already in poor condition. We would stress that all existing transmissions would best be replaced if high mileage and in poor condition, but normally a minimum of a major service (partial strip down, new oil and adjustments) would suffice.

What should I use for a Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF)?

Royal Purple Motor Oil
always, if your car is under warranty, we suggest following your manufacturer's recommendations. In most passenger cars we recommend using Royal Purple Max Gear 75W90. Some people may want to use something lighter, in which case, our ATF or Racing 41 would be good suggestions. Racers may even want to run the Racing 21 which is fine. Many new cars now use an ATF or engine oil.

What's that rattling noise from my manual transmission upon acceleration?

_3
This is a common problem among 6-speed cars. GM is aware of the problem. The faint but distinct rattling noise can usually be heard with the transmission in neutral and the clutch out. A few quick revs at about 1/8 throttle and it should get louder for a fraction of a second, then disappear, and then return when the engine drops back to idle. You should also be able to hear it when starting out in first from 0-10 mph.

The answer to this question is simple. The most popular shift schedules are the schedules that are understood and supported by the workforce, and that meet the business requirements of the organization. Schedules that fail to meet the business requirements usually fail and get replaced. Schedules that are implemented without shiftworker input are hard for the workforce to accept.

Can I paddle shift a 700R4, TH350 or other pre-electronic transmission?

Twist Machine FAQ
No. With a pre-electronic transmission, a mechanical arm such as a linear actuator motor must be placed between the paddle shifter and the transmission. While this approach will perform shifts, the shift time will be significant and unpredictable. It is not remotely practical to paddle shift a 700R4 or other pre-electronic transmission. HERE IS A COMPARISON: This is the only true manumatic solution. The Shrifter™ sends an signal to an electronic receiver in .125 second.

Will the installation of TransGo Performance Shift Kit? hurt my transmission?

Transgo Performance Shift Kit - FAQ
On the contrary, the TransGo Performance Shift Kit? will IMPROVE durability by increasing friction component apply/holding ability. This reduces heat buildup that harms friction components, and at the same time increases cooling and lubrication flow in the transmission. Of course not! Nothing can really do that. What IT WILL DO is greatly increase the capacity and durability of the transmission to its maximum potential, not make it impervious to any possible harm.

Chrome Exhaust Tip What's the Manual Shift button for?

Probe FAQ
Not without thousands of dollars of custom work and fabrication, but you can overbore and expand the maximum sized engines by a bit. The largest engine available on first generation Probes is the 3.0-liter V-6. Ford Taurus SHOs use the same size engine, so technically it could fit, but not without major modifications. Second generation Probes max out at a 2.5-liter V-6, but you can upgrade it to a 2.9 liters.
