Oh I have the semi automatic function where you can switch from third to fourth gear. If you are going about 50km per hour, you do not need to use the clutch to change to the 4th gear anymore.
@DrKlausTrophobie5 ай бұрын
They all had this. The 4th gear is free-running because, when coasting the carburetor will run lean and the motor get less lubrication. Doing this on a regular basis would seize the engine. Especially in high gears, with higher speeds when inertia is high as well.

@RobertJarecki18 күн бұрын
@selflesssamaritan6417 Well, my calculations indicate that the Trabant uses less than a third of the fuel that my 1949 Packard Standard Eight Touring Sedan uses. But the Packard has a 4.2 l inline 8 cylinder engine and fully automatic transmission and weighs 1,750 kg (shipping weight without fuel or fluids: 12 liters of transmission fluid, 7 liters of engine oil and 12 gallons, about 96 liters of coolant) and will seat six adults comfortably (there are footrests for the backseat passengers) and carry about 0.5 cubic meters of luggage in the rear. And, it's turquoise. Edit: I've only taken it up to 160 kph, it is only the smallest 4 door Sedan Packard made that year. *_Packard, Ask The Man Who Owns One_*
