when did the first push to start car come out?
1998
in the second year of production, the acura tl was given slightly more features, including a 5-speed automatic transmission with sportshift. the added gear allowed for slightly better fuel economy and acceleration when compared to the previous 4-speed automatic transmission with sportshift. with this model, if the driver forgets the 1-2 shift the computer will take over when in sport mode and do the 1-2 up and down shifts, unlike the 4-speed 1999 model. in many vehicles, the 5-speed automatic transmission failed: as the third clutch pack wore, particles blocked off oil passages and prevented the transmission from shifting or holding gears normally. the transmission would slip, fail to shift, or suddenly downshift and make the car come to a screeching halt, even at freeway speeds. this problem was highlighted in the "los angeles times" in september 2002. "consumer reports" took note and gave the tl and cl the black spot, the worst rating for transmission reliability. in response to the recurring problem, the manufacturer extended the warranty covering the transmission to 7 years or on u.s.a. models. a class-action lawsuit was settled to extend the transmission warranty for u.s.a. owners or entities to 7.75 years for all models made from 1998 to 2002 and some 2003 models by vin; however, canadian owners warranties were not extended. transmissions replaced prior to march 2005 usually fail again. transmissions replaced from march 2005 and later include a redesigned third gear clutch pack reported to fix the problem.

for example, in a push–pull power amplifier using vacuum tubes, the signal is most often "split" by a phase splitter (aka phase inverter) stage which produces two signals, one "in phase", and the other "out of phase", that is, phase inverted. these two complementary signals then drive the two halves of the first push–pull stage, which may be either the output stage or the driver stage. the other common arrangements for driving a push-pull stage are by using an isolation transformer to produce the split signals, or by using the in-phase half of the first push-pull stage to drive the other half. a common circuit using this last technique is the long-tailed pair, often seen in television sets and oscilloscopes.
