The Hy-Drive was a Chrysler Corporation semi-automatic transmission introduced in 1953 in US-market Plymouths. It was a hybrid manual transmission equipped with a torque converter, like an automatic. Although Hy-Drive cars had a clutch pedal like a traditional manual transmission, it was only used to put the car in gear. Once underway, the driver could upshift and downshift using the gear shift without using the clutch or even lifting off the accelerator.

  • The Hy-Drive was a Chrysler Corporation semi-automatic transmission introduced in 1953 in US-market Plymouths. It was a hybrid manual transmission equipped with a torque converter, like an automatic. Although Hy-Drive cars had a clutch pedal like a traditional manual transmission, it was only used to put the car in gear. Once underway, the driver could upshift and downshift using the gear shift without using the clutch or even lifting off the accelerator. The industry was caught by surprise by the advent of the automatic transmission in the early-to-late-1940s. General Motors' Dynaflow, introduced by Buick in 1948, was a smash hit with the public, very soon being fitted in over 80% of new Buicks. (GM's fully automatic Hydramatic, which debuted in 1939, was in 70% of Pontiacs that year.) Chrysler had previously offered a Fluid Drive fluid coupling (not a torque converter, as it did not multiply the torque) on their manual transmissions, and the Hy-Drive was an evolution of this. It was sold by Plymouth for the entire 1953 model year, and into April of the 1954 model year, when the fully automatic PowerFlite became available. About 75,000 cars came equipped with this transmission. (en)

La industria quedó sorprendida por la aparición de la transmisión automática a principios y finales de la década de 1940. General Motors había desarrollado la transmisión , introducida por Buick en 1948,​ que se convirtió en un gran éxito entre el público, instalándose muy pronto en más del 80% de los nuevos Buick​ (el cambio Hydramatic, la primera transmisión totalmente automática de GM presentada en 1939, estaba en el 70% de los Pontiac de aquel año).​ Chrysler había ofrecido previamente un acoplamiento fluido denominado (que no se trataba de un convertidor de par, ya que no lo multiplicaba) en sus transmisiones manuales, y el Hy-Drive fue el resultado de la evolución de este primer sistema. Fue vendido en los Plymouth durante todo el año de 1953, siendo sustituido en abril de 1954 por el sistema completamente automático,​ que se convirtió en el estándar disponible.​ Unos 75.000 coches fueron equipados con la transmisión Hy-Drive.
