clutchless
Lacking manual transmission
Clutchless describes a vehicle or driving technique that doesn't require operating a clutch pedal.
A clutchless gearbox shifts automatically or through paddle shifters.
Clutchless shifting in manual transmissions involves matching engine speed to change gears without depressing the clutch—a skill prized by motorcyclists and truckers.
The new model features clutchless operation for easier city driving.
