  2. 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.

  3. Progressive shifting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_shifting

    E.g. in a truck with a Caterpillar C15 engine, it is achieved by going all the way up to 1950RPM, then shifting to a gear that will put the engine at 1500RPM. In contrast, using progressive shifting, i.e. maintaining maximum torque , the overall acceleration is slower but there is increased fuel efficiency and lower wear of the engine due to ...

    An MMT car limits the highest gear selectable, if the gradient is steep. L and 2 gear in a full automatic: The L and 2 gear in automatic can be simulated in an MMT car by either using E1/E2 or M1/M2. Es mode: Es mode allows more dynamic and sporty driving with faster gear changes, at the expense of greater fuel consumption.

    The John Deere PowerShift transmission was an eight-speed semi-automatic transmission without a torque converter, used in John Deere tractors, including the iconic John Deere Model 4020. [1] The Powershift is not to be confused with similar John Deere transmissions (including the Quad-Range and the PowrQuad [ 2 ] ), or with the Ford Ultra ...
