Suzuki Cultus Auto Gear Shift
Pak Suzuki Motor Company Limited released the automatic transmission option of Suzuki Cultus, more than half a year after launching the modification with manual transmission. Pak Suzuki Motor Company is a subsidiary of Japanese Auto Giant Suzuki.
Suzuki Cultus with an automatic gearbox has 3 options: Park, Drive, Reverse. As a matter of fact this transmission is a manual one, but equipped with the automatic gear shift (AGS) unit responsible for automatic clutch depression. Therefore, there are two modes of operation in this transmission, manual and automatic. For operation in the manual mode the driver simply switches the gear shaft to M and then uses “+” or “-” options to change gears by himself according to traffic situations. When the gear shaft is switched to “D” (automatic gearbox), then the gearbox mechanism will automatically shift gears according to speed changes. Another peculiarity lies in the fact that there are no glitches when the driver switches from automatic to manual mode. Generally, it is expected that this so-called “automated manual transmission” will fill a niche on the Pakistani auto market.
