Improved Shifting Performance
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Subaru Tribeca, 2008 Subaru Outback, and 2008 Subaru Legacy. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- By using a wide ranged and crossed ratio gears, a high driving power is ensured at a wide vehicle speed range, and the torque differential between before and after shifting is minimized.
- By using a system that controls the clutch pressure directly and electronically (direct hydraulic control), an accurate and highly responsive control is achieved.
- By using a one-way clutch, smooth shifting without torque interruption is realized.
- By using a new adaptive control, the shifting map is automatically switched and a more active shifting control is performed in the manual mode.
- The control enables manual shifting by operating the steering switch to UP or DOWN while driving in D range, and returns to normal automatic shifting when certain conditions are met.
- To reduce gear noise from the reduction driven gear and prevent the bending moment of the drive pinion shaft from affecting the engagement of reduction gears, the front and rear ends are supported with bearings.
- To reduce driving noise, the drive shafts and joints are integrated and the transmission side drive axle shaft is abolished.
