SportShift Transmission

Warning: Always secure the vehicle with the
brakes when stopped. As with any transmission
using a gearbox and clutch arrangement the
vehicle will roll once the clutch is disengaged.
Vehicles installed with the SportShift transmission have
a manual gearbox and clutch arrangement. Most
manual gearbox and clutch arrangements have a clutch
pedal which when pressed lifts the clutch away from
the flywheel, disengaging the engine from the drive
line, enabling gearshifts. The SportShift transmission
uses a Transmission Control Module and an Electro-
hydraulic control unit to replace the clutch pedal and
make gearshifts.
Two modes of gear selection are available.
Auto Drive Mode
In auto drive mode gearshifts are made according to
various driving parameters, i.e. road speed, current
selected gear and accelerator demands. Forward,
reverse and neutral gears are selected by using the auto
drive buttons. While in auto drive mode move to
paddle shift mode at any time by pulling back pulling
back on either the upshift or downshift gearshift
paddles, mounted behind the steering wheel.
