A manual (standard) transmission.
"Sensonic" is Saab's electrically-operated clutch. It was supposed to let you shift a manual transmission faster than a pedal-operated clutch could. It was discontinued shortly after introduction because the customers didn't like it.
The "automatic gearbox" Volkswagen used to put in Beetles is an "autostick" transmission. It has a three-speed manual transmission connected to a vacuum-operated clutch and a torque converter. There's no clutch pedal but you still have to shift it.
When shifting from first to second gear in a manual transmission vehicle, you need to press the clutch pedal to disengage the engine from the transmission. Then, while keeping the clutch pedal depressed, move the gear shifter from first gear to second gear. Finally, release the clutch pedal slowly while simultaneously pressing the gas pedal to smoothly engage the engine with the transmission in second gear.
You need to lift your left foot off of the clutch pedal.
It's easy. Do you have a clutch pedal? If you have to shift gears 1-5 with a clutch then you have a manual transmission. If you simply shift into drive and step on the gas then you have an automatic transmission.
If you have a pickup that has a soft clutch and its harder to shift gears you probably have a problem with your transmission. You should check your transmission fluid, make sure its full, and if that doesn't help you will have to take it to a mechanic.
An automatic transmission is a type of car transmission that shifts gears on its own. Therefore, cars with automatic transmissions will not have a clutch pedal and will have a selector lever as opposed to a shift knob.
If we are talking about a standard shift transmission, the clutch may be out of adjustment or if it is hydraulic operated, out of hydraulic fluid because of a leak.
A major indicator would be when you push the clutch in, you can't shift your transmission. Another one would be when you push the clutch pedal, it just goes straight to the floor with no resistance, or it doesn't push in at all.
The transmissions aren't made by Freightliner, and this answer applies to all commercial truck manufacturers. A fully automatic transmission is clutch free. An autoshift basically adds a synchroniser gear and computer operated shift mechanism to a manual transmission, and still uses a clutch. With an autoshift, poor clutch manipulation often causes the synchroniser gear to go out, making the transmission unable to shift. On a fully automatic transmission, that problem does not exist.
Not sure what you're asking about. I have a 1998 S10 standard shift that still has a clutch pedal.
