The manual gearbox ; for many it is synonymous with pure driving fun , for other capacities; and possibility; to feel one with your own four-wheeler, managing its times, stretches, sighs, noises. For others still a perfect couple together with the clutch, an indissoluble duo.


For & ograve ;, with the advent of electrified and electric thrusters, the lever protruding from the central tunnel seems to be destined to say goodbye .

Much better is the automatic transmission, capable of reducing fuel consumption, making all the engine components communicate better in a single harmonious chorus and making the life of the driver less stressful, especially for those who often drive in the city.

Exactly; in that urban jungle so characterized by stops, traffic lights, & quot; you leave, no I go & quot; to give precedence and relentless use of the clutch to keep up with the queue.


But Ford doesn't fit in . Maybe he doesn't want to leave behind that perfect manual gearbox that lives aboard his Mustang (among others we can also mention the Mazda manual) and therefore he is thinking not of abandonment but of an update of the prodigal son .

: left style = “left; left “>

The American magazine Musclecarsandtrucks.com has released a patent registered by Ford , in America, and has revealed that the Blue Oval is designing a manual … without the corresponding & quot; sister clutch & quot; .


The third pedal on the pedal board, starting from the right, would be electronically operated by an algorithm. In short, not bad. There is the clutch, there is the feeling of him while driving but we can forget the sessions of calf concentrated on the left calf when we have to keep up with the next damn queue.


According to the patent, the manual gearbox & quot; of new conception & quot; it would still maintain all its main mechanical components , with the possibility; to leave on the busiest cars; sports of the brand, however, the clutch pedal in the pedal set to be used only for use and consumption of the driver; do you want to use the clutch? Paigiala. Don't want to use it? It will activate the same. The algorithm takes care of it.


Musclecarsandtrucks.com assumes that this & quot; new & quot; manual transmission could debut soon on the new pony car of the Blue Oval. The iconic Mustang equipped with electrified powertrains.
