- Porsche files a patent for a simulated manual gearbox based on a dual-clutch automatic transmission.
- The system has three configurations: traditional automatic, sequential shifting, and full manual mode with a clutch.
- Porsche’s new patent expands on an earlier one detailing a shift-by-wire gear selector.
A few months ago, a Porsche patent revealed the automaker’s idea for a shift-by-wire gear selector. It can operate like a traditional automatic shift lever or a manual gear selector, and a new filing from the company expands that idea into a complete simulated manual transmission setup.
