Features
• A stand-alone TCM, used exclusively for transmission control, performs various controls such as up and down-
shifts, according to signals relayed from sensors and switches.
• Direct electronic shift control provides superior shift quality.
• A superior balance has been achieved between the quick shift response of a sports car and the mild shift
quality of a luxury car.
• In particular, the response when downshifting in manual mode has been greatly heightened, resulting in a
highly responsive and direct shift feeling.
