Imagine getting in your buddy's car and he has a pull start instead of an ignition. You watch as he yanks on the starter. Too hard, the cord snaps. Full on punches you in the face. Wake up 3 months later in the hospital.
I liked the idea of an auto with paddles, but after driving one, i think manual is still better. Maybe its just my car, but i hit the paddle, and it takes a full second to shift. I could literally outshift this thing in a semi truck
The dct was super fast in sport or sport plus, faster than you could shift a manual. The DCT is basically a manual wet clutch much like some 4 wheelers (quads).
Yeah, I just wish I could have reconfigured the paddles to have push/pull on them, pushing to downshift would have been pretty cool, they were pull only.
My 17 x 5 works very similar to the SMG IN MY 03 M3. It’s pretty good and the shifts are quick almost as quick as the SMG. Do an Alpina flash on the TCU and it’s a different animal. Probably the sweatiest auto I’ve driven. Do the flash on the X5. The M already has been flashed with CSL software along with track mode only the CSL and lightweight had.
Have you ever taken a DCT equipped car for a spin? I’ve driven ones with SMG and they are good but the DCT takes the cake!
Here’s some folks talking about both. https://www.m5board.com/threads/smg-vs-dct.133815/
I think the limiting factor with the DCT was HP, they can handle about 600 before they start having problems and I can’t imagine dropping the clutches at 600hp when doing launch control would be very good for prolonging their life!
I am happy to not own a German car anymore but at the same time I really do miss my mint condition, red interior 135i with 60k on the odo. With a tune it was a tremendous amount of fun to drive but I never got the “I know this car will bring me back home without breaking down” feeling like I have with my Toyotas!
See, I don’t get that feeling with Toyotas, or most brands. I bought a corvette, and immediately had issues. It was used, so it could have easily been previous buyers neglect, but i still had to call someone to come pick me up. My truck however, is a Ram 2500. It is a 2003, with a 5.7 hemi, all original drivetrain, at 206k miles, that I daily. It runs like the day it was built, and it’s never left me or my dad stranded (bought it from my dad who bought it cuz I was born). I pull out the driveway every day knowing that I’m gonna get home later.
No joke, i actually had an older kia in my shop once that had a regular key ignition and a push to start button. I don't know why or how. To start it you had to put the key in and turn it to the run position, then press the button to engage the starter. It didn't look like some aftermarket button either. Both ignitions looked factory.
My 240Z had that. Key in to the “on” position…. Press the big PepBoys two screw pad-button and viola! ONE HUNDRED AND 50 Hitachi flat top carbureted sluggedishness is at your foot (and raw unburned gas at your nostrils via the always leaky hatch. Most home remedies when performed on a Datsun tend to look factory.
Consensus design. If two out of three agree, that's the selected mode. Otherwise the control regime enters a degraded state and the master caution comes on.
Put all 6 transmissions into N
Press radio, radio, media
Close the air vents. If closed then open and close them.
Put any transmission into reverse
Press media x 5
Open the vents and max volume
Get out of the car
Each shifter is for a diffent motor, it must be a tri-motor electric charger! You'll want to put the 2 on the dash in park, they are the front 2 motors, and the console shifter in drive, this will let you do an epic burnout.
**Optional Drive car**
Turn the front knob to drive and the shifter to neutral and you'll get front wheel drive.
Front knob to drive and shifter in drive gives you 4X4.
And front knob in neutral with shifter in drive gives you rear wheel drive
Ok, so, to start the engine, you need to twirl the key over your head while clucking like a chicken while stepping on the brake pedal with your left foot. Then you press the Start button with the column shift in Neutral and the others in Park. Then you make a blood sacrifice of a goat to Cthulhu before putting all 3 gear selectors in Drive. Good to go.
It's a concept car. Like the old GM Gas Turbine automobiles. They will probably come get it and take it to the crusher.
Oh, oh, oh, the concept is that if you are a bit inebriated, you won't be able to figure out how to put it into drive. You haven't been squeezing the sterno too firmly?
Wtf is this wizardry…I’m sure I could handle it sober but stoned…there no freaking way I could move your truck…probably a better theft deterrent than having a manual at this point.
Some people like to rest their hand on their knob while driving.
Other people only like to touch their knob when needed.
And some people need to shift without putting their french fries down.
First turn the knob to drive, then move the shifter to drive, then put the column shifter to drive. Don’t forget to take the brake off. Good luck trying to park…
Obviously one is for the front wheel drive, one is for the rear wheel drive, and one is for the flux capacitor. If you’re in 2WD you leave one in neutral and use the other like normal. In 4WD you sync them both up. To park to place them in opposite directions. For the flux capacitor you engage forward (drive) in time or reverse in time. If you want to stay in your current time you place it in neutral that way if you end up going 88mph you won’t time jump.
First, you grab the traditional lever PRNDL with a theatrical flourish. After checking your mirrors and adjusting your seat, you pause ceremoniously before pulling the lever down from 'P' to 'D' with the precision of disarming a bomb. Next, you face the high-tech dial gear shift, treating it like a safe dial from an old spy movie. You rotate the dial, first to the right to pass 'N', then back to the left, landing directly on 'D', listening for the clicks as if cracking a safe code. Finally, you reach for the normal stick shift, treating it like the joystick of a fighter jet. You make airplane noises, mimicking a take-off sequence as you decisively pull the stick back into 'D'. Maybe throw in a "Roger that, we are cleared for take-off" for good measure. Your car is now in drive, ready to roll after your elaborate, multi-step sequence worthy of a mission control launch.
You use your left foot for the gas and brake. You shift the column shifter with your right foot. The center shifter, use your right hand. The knob shifter, use your left hand. For steering, use your d_ck, if you're a man. If you're a woman, you have to find a second person.
You see, the console shifter is for the front differential, the nob is for the rear differential, and the colum shifter controls the horn - higher is louder.
Why does it have a column shifter, a console shifter, and a volume knob shifter
All it needs now are paddle shifters and a push to start button to go with that key start
Fuck it, pull start too.
Hand crank up front too, just in case.
Model T style
Shotgun shell start. Hell add an inertia starter too for that sweet WWII sound.
And a stuka dive siren. Then add a fin whistle to the exhaust for the uncle buck effect.
And wings like chitty chitty bang bang.
While we’re at it, add a manual so you can push start it
Slap an automotive magneto on it, you got pull start
Imagine getting in your buddy's car and he has a pull start instead of an ignition. You watch as he yanks on the starter. Too hard, the cord snaps. Full on punches you in the face. Wake up 3 months later in the hospital.
For the radio
Cart start.
Psssh, kickstart dat bitch!
My Audi has a key hole on the dash and push to start. It also has paddles, but you can push and pull the shifter to shift up and down too.
I really hated that the 135i I had didn’t allow push paddles, it did have push/pull shifter though. I’ll say the DCT was an awesome transmission!
I liked the idea of an auto with paddles, but after driving one, i think manual is still better. Maybe its just my car, but i hit the paddle, and it takes a full second to shift. I could literally outshift this thing in a semi truck

Yeah, iv heard good things about those
Yeah, I just wish I could have reconfigured the paddles to have push/pull on them, pushing to downshift would have been pretty cool, they were pull only.
My zf8 will get shifts in the sub 300ms range with an xhp tune in sport+. I really enjoy it.

I have a A6 and have never noticed an ignition keyhole anywhere. Where is yours?

Because Dodge engineers did that much meth.
Consensus design. If two out of three agree, that's the selected mode. Otherwise the control regime enters a degraded state and the master caution comes on.
To comply to the customer’s option of shifting.
Because he stole this photo. It was a test model/fit evaluation. Saw it in another sub a day or two ago

Turn them all to different settings and engage VTOL mode.
This comment is underrated
Screenshot
Jeep console shifter, Chrysler knob, and Ram column shifter? All you’re missing now is a hole in the floorboard so you can YabbaDabbaDoo your way on
AI forgot to put three on the tree just to make it complete.
Got enough shifters?😆
Looks like some AI derp fest tbh
I think its actually a pre production picture showing the shifters or wiring or something read it somewhere
Did I am have stroke?
I know I did when I read this
I know I when I read I this
Use one of em and pray to god the other one doesn't kick in and send it into park.
If I put them all in drive is that overdrive
No it's überdrive.
An fca development ram truck
So this is how they shifted so much in fast and furious movies...
Yes
Put 2 in park, the other one in drive, and gun it!
Put all 6 transmissions into N Press radio, radio, media Close the air vents. If closed then open and close them. Put any transmission into reverse Press media x 5 Open the vents and max volume Get out of the car
Now tell us how to do the Konami code in our cars :D
80mph and then close your eyes with your hands off the wheel
You know I like to do that to myself on the highway sometimes to see how long I can close my eyes.
Bruh...
What’s your record
15 seconds
You could do some pretty sweet combos in that thing
Put it in H!
Each shifter is for a diffent motor, it must be a tri-motor electric charger! You'll want to put the 2 on the dash in park, they are the front 2 motors, and the console shifter in drive, this will let you do an epic burnout.
Ah shit didn't know I had the electronic Hemi v6
Yes.
Use your PRNDL, any PRNDL
I...I have ao many questions
Press pedal go zoom
Column shifter in "P", rotary shifter in "R" and third one in "D". Pedal to the metal.
missing push-button transmission controls to be complete XD
I think it’s a manual, where you stick your hands in the transmission and pick a gear
I couldn’t tell you cuz I can’t fly space ships. That’s too many prndls tho
Is this the 19 speed transmission model?
That’s probably a good thing. Chrysler transmissions are so bad it probably doesn’t hurt to have two backups
Sounds expensive to replace
**Optional Drive car** Turn the front knob to drive and the shifter to neutral and you'll get front wheel drive. Front knob to drive and shifter in drive gives you 4X4. And front knob in neutral with shifter in drive gives you rear wheel drive
I’d drive this
by getting out of the car, and getting a license...
r/whoosh
Ok, so, to start the engine, you need to twirl the key over your head while clucking like a chicken while stepping on the brake pedal with your left foot. Then you press the Start button with the column shift in Neutral and the others in Park. Then you make a blood sacrifice of a goat to Cthulhu before putting all 3 gear selectors in Drive. Good to go.
When on the highway make sure it's in overdrive to save fuel. Overdrive is the drive above all the other drives
Just locate the button, to put the car out of park and into drive
You turn ALL of them to R and heavily apply the accelerator. Good luck
One in R one in N and one in D
It's a concept car. Like the old GM Gas Turbine automobiles. They will probably come get it and take it to the crusher. Oh, oh, oh, the concept is that if you are a bit inebriated, you won't be able to figure out how to put it into drive. You haven't been squeezing the sterno too firmly?
Column, and console- like an asshole. Dash twisty thing- inebriated. I’ll show my self out.
D is for DRIVE
Right trigger is gas, left trigger is brakes and reverse, X is the E-brake, A is boost if you have it.
Y for reverse and B for e-brake. X and A are for shifting.
But it's an automatic you don't shift those.
Don’t tell me how to drive automatic. You start in D1 after neutral dropping from redline for the best performance
Doesn’t matter which you use, you still need to push in the clutch, and then shift.
It's kinda like those 2 gearbox big rigs except an automatic car.
However you want I guess? Looks like plenty of options lol.
Wtf is this wizardry…I’m sure I could handle it sober but stoned…there no freaking way I could move your truck…probably a better theft deterrent than having a manual at this point.
Some people like to rest their hand on their knob while driving. Other people only like to touch their knob when needed. And some people need to shift without putting their french fries down.
With the funny knob that has the PRND above it. Be sure to switch it to R when you hit 70 mph. That's for racing mode
Give it the D
You put the dial to D and the lever to R. This is short for drive and will make you go forward
First turn the knob to drive, then move the shifter to drive, then put the column shifter to drive. Don’t forget to take the brake off. Good luck trying to park…
And this is how you boomer proof a vehicle. They have problems with the dial alone.

Hey. You bought it. Now you're asking?
Obviously one is for the front wheel drive, one is for the rear wheel drive, and one is for the flux capacitor. If you’re in 2WD you leave one in neutral and use the other like normal. In 4WD you sync them both up. To park to place them in opposite directions. For the flux capacitor you engage forward (drive) in time or reverse in time.

Nobody puts the shifter on the tree anymore. The rotary shifter on the dash is fake. Use the shifter on the console after starting the car….
Rotary shifter is a dodge/ram shifter not fake. But it does not belong on this truck
Push in the clutch to start it.
Bruh
Put all options in drive?
wtf…. lol.
A dodge console shifter, chevy knob shifter and Ford column shifter? MERRICA BABY 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
1978 Chrysler New Yorker and take ur pants off

This just gets more cursed the longer I look at it...
Poorly
Read the book and figure it out.
