What is triptronic/tiptronic?

[sankul]

Hi All

I am thinking of writing a small article for my loacl paper expalining details and specs for the many galant vrgs being imported here.

I need some information and tech knowledge on how the galant auto transmission works. it is generally refereed to as triptronic/tiptronic with a switch over to a mnaul type gear shift system.

any info please?

tiptronic tranny is the auto stick
automatic style tranny with the + and - that you can tap up and down to shift

the USDM eclipse's have it and lots of the Chryslers do to
wish it came in the G's

in fact most of the galants imported here come in tiptronic

superb!

tiptronic/triptronic is no different than a automatic transmission. i love how stupid 40 year old soccer dads think they're nissan maxima is all uber fast cause it "triptronic" when it's no different than my auto pos transmission.
