Re: Coasting with the AT

I guess I was a little off. It locks up 88% of the time and it starts at 5 mph on up depending on the situation. From my driving experience though it feels a lot like a manual in its direct feel. This sums it up well. http://www.greencarcongress.com/2011...0110808-1.html

I like the sound of THAT. Wonder if this is the same auto used in the 3 ?

Re: Coasting with the AT

Hi Edwin:

Three replies in a row? WTH

The SKYATIV AT in the CX-5 and 3 are the same technology albeit different dimensionally. The non-SKYACTIV 3 uses their older engine and tranny design.

V8, do not worry about coasting in N. It can save fuel in some circumstances of course but more importantly could potentially save your life someday too.

Wayne

Re: Coasting with the AT

Silly greencarcongress article, the TC isnt' a 6-speed, the tranny is!

These articles mostly focus on accleration. For those that have the SKYACTIV AT, how does it behave in decel? Does it disengage the TCLU, so that when you go to reacclerate, there isn't a harsh lunge (doing so would also reduce engine braking).
