TWIN CLUTCH-SPORTRONIC SHIFT
TRANSMISSION (TC-SST)
Due to the addition of RALLIART, W6DGA, TC-SST
(twin clutch
āsportronic shift transmission) has been
adopted. The TC-SST assembly is a twin clutch type
automatic M/T that offers the easy driving similar to
A/T, excellent sport driving, and enhanced fun to
drive.
CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSAXLE
(CVT)
F1CJA type (CVT) has been adopted. The CVT com-
bines "torque converter" and "continuously variable
transaxle mechanism by steel belt and pulley" to
achieve "high driving performance" and "better fuel
economy." Depending on the driving conditions, the
comfortable pulley ratio is automatically and continu
-
ously selected from low to overdrive, ensuring
driver-intended smooth driving without shift shocks
due to acceleration pedal operation.
PADDLE SHIFT <CVT, TC-SST>
For some models, the paddle-shaped upshift/down-
shift lever has been fitted near the steering wheel to
allow the driver to operate upshift or downshift with
his/her hands kept on the steering wheel.
