MANUAL TRANSMISSION AUTOMATED
Magneti Marelli’s SELESPEED Manual Transmission Automation system was first developed for Ferrari Formula 1 racing in 1986. It uses an electronic Transmission Control Unit (TCU), interfaced by CAN bus to the Engine Control Module, to actuate the gear shifting of a traditional mechanical transmission, either transversal or longitudinal. The actuators are hydraulic and can be simple add-on hardware for an existing transmission, or can be integrated onto the transmission.
ADVANTAGES
Over an Automatic Transmission • Less mass - estimated 35 lb. reduction • Higher efficiency / fuel economy improvement of approximately 10% • Improved vehicle performance • Higher torque capacity • Fun to drive				Over a Manual Transmission • Improved vehicle control • Optional shift modes such as Manual, Sport, and Automatic for city traffic conditions • Fuel economy gains • Transmission and clutch life improved • MTA can augment other systems • Safety - Driver tutoring function avoids transmission control errors - Driver is free to give full attention to road and traffic conditions

A variety of driver interface options are possible, depending upon the vehicle type (Sporty, Commercial, etc). Current applications include paddle shifters behind the steering wheel, button shifters on the wheel, and traditional stick shifts.
