You hear these abbreviations a lot when people talk about their cars or while picking one, and the more letters it has, the more sophisticated it sounds.We pry open these gearboxes to give you an idea of the kind of engineering that went on to create an intermediary that allows your engine to deliver different levels of power to the drive wheels to suit just about any driving condition.
Because it generally has no electronic systems the manual isn’t as costly and is cheaper to fix and maintain. If driven properly, it still delivers the best mix of engine response and fuel economy. The operation is a lot more complicated than it sounds, even more so when you watch it in a YouTube 3D video, but it couldn’t be simpler for the driver – just select D and off you go. As it’s an intricate multipart system that needs precise timing and movement, so many things can go wrong and if it does, expect a hefty repair bill.
There's a new development called an e-CVT which ditches the belts and/or chains, and uses motors/generators to control the speed of the gearset components to get the optimal ratio. Basically, it simulates the behavior of a CVT. It must be noted that the dual-clutch transmission is actually an evolution of the AMT. Also known as a twin-clutch transmission, the DCT is mechanically similar to an automated manual in operation but has two internal clutches and two gear sets. The odd gears are on one set while the even gears are on the other, and each set has its own clutch. The computer, hydraulics, and solenoids control everything, although the driver can override it using paddle shifters.
AMTs are not as common in the Philippine market, but you'd normally find these on mass-market models because of the cost, maintenance, robustness , and potential fuel efficiency.
