The Zeroshift Automanual

[Alx]

If your idea of nirvana is clutchless gear changes with zero lag up and down the cogway, today may be your birthday. So says UK-based Zeroshift, which claims to have developed an add-on mechanism that replaces a manual tranny's synchromesh. It's called the Zeroshift Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), and the company says it can change gears seamlessly -- more efficiently than VW/Audi's sublime DSG box.

The chart pictured shows the AMT in use on a TVR Cerbera 4.2 equipped with a Tremec T5 five-speed manual. The company says on passenger cars it can reduce wasted fuel, while in more sporting applications -- well, you know. – Mike Spinelli

Yes but the catch is the inertia. The drivetrain needs some fancy solution as well.


Retorical philosophical question:
Why does it always has to be a catch.

Well, the Matrix works like this.

The Matrix is an equation which the Architect constantly tries to balance, so for every bad thing, there's a good thing.

Very interesting stuff Alex, thanks.
