What Does Your Transmission Do?
Simply put, your transmission is how your car changes gear while driving. A gearbox moves gears to different levels to send power to the wheels helping the car move forward or backward. Your car’s gear is determined by how fast you are going and how much power you require. The way a transmission works is quite simple, Torque from your engine goes into the transmission by the input shaft, goes through the gears, and comes out of the output shaft.

What is Manual Transmission (MT)?
The manual transmission is operated by the driver by shifting the gear lever and the clutch pedal, along with the acceleration pedal, to send power from the engine to the gearbox, which then sends power to the wheels. It is a hand-operated gear lever and is quite common on roads, and most of the cars you may have seen are essential with manual transmission.

On the other hand, manual transmissions give the driver control over which gear the car will be in at any given moment. Lower gears utilize more torque and operate at lower speeds, while higher gears use less torque and operate for longer at faster speeds.

Cars with a manual transmission have a clutch pedal next to the brake that must be depressed when not accelerating or maintaining a speed with the accelerator pedal. When changing gears, the clutch pedal is depressed so that the clutch can move into the new desired gear.

What is Automatic Transmission (AT)?
You do not have to manually change the gears in an automatic car. The gearbox's mechanism works so that the car will change the gears automatically without the driver having to use either the gear lever or the clutch. Since these cars are easier to use, you may have seen many automatic cars on the roads today.

Within automatic transmissions, there are actually two types: traditional and dual-clutch.

Traditional automatic is a type of automatic transmission connected to the car’s engine by a torque converter. The vehicle controls when to shift gears with this transmission, and the driver has no input or control. The car will monitor certain parameters to determine when to shift gears, such as speed, throttle pedal position, and engine revolutions.

What is Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)?
The CVT gearbox comes with a single gear that is variable in nature and uses a pulley or belt to shift speeds. Many hybrid cars have a CVT gearbox, which is known to improve their mileage because of its mechanism. Most car manufacturers of traditional manual cars are now coming up with models and variants with a CVT gearbox.

Driving a manual transmission is like God sitting beside you. It’s totally safe!

Accidents happen anytime but you still have the precious seconds to respond!

That’s the power of manual transmission!💪

[nosloppyplease]

I finally found out why non-car enthusiasts hate driving so much after my Honda broke down and I had to drive my mom's kia for a month. Y'all just need a more fun car simple as that. And a manual transmission can really make any car fun tbh.

Manual is the best! Upshifting, downshifting, and the best part is rev matching

I love MTs. I've driven both AT and MT, driving uphills and city traffics, I'd still take MT as my daily. It also helps me keep awake and alert while driving.

I had a manual1996 model Volkswagen golf cl works great, enjoying driving manual
transmission, love it.

[willardsmapiye]

I learnt driving on a motorcycle manual transmissions, from there the love of manual transmission kept on growing I've zero interest in automatic vehicles, but I'd love to try out a CVT

Note that the section on CVT describes the old belt type of CVT, whereas some of the images are of Toyota eCVT equipped models, such as the Prius. The Toyota eCVT does not use belt drives at all. Their current system has a planetary gear set, with a motor generator (MG1) which controls the ratio electronically. The models with that type of transmission have no belt driven items at all - MG1 is an alternator/motor (variable frequency 3-phase AC), both used to start the engine when required, and to churn out electric power. The engines use chain drive for the camshafts, so no belts at all in those. Other items, like cooling fans, & air con, use electric motors.

I have one each of 5-speed manual and 10-speed automatic. Both are awesome in their respective cars (2010 Impreza 5-door, 2020 Mustang turbo convertible). The Impreza is a blast to drive and handles great, while the Mustang is a wonderful cruiser which handles well enough and has great acceleration. I’m glad each has the transmission it has.

Till now I'm still love driving manual. Started my first and now the second car. No hassle on any traffic matter.

[ubongudomah]

My first car was an automatic transmission and later I switch to a manual transmission. I think the transition took a while and was worth it. I love manual transmission! I have control over the car and it feels like a relationship

[danfuture]

I drive a manual and I enjoy the fact I'm always in full control of my vehicle 🤷‍♂️

[junelilyrose]

I learned to drive using a 5-speed manual car. I will ALWAYS love a nice stick shift ..the clutch, shifting up and down !!👍

[billyjoejimbob]

This vid leaves out some important considerations. True... enthusiasts usually find a manual transmission more engaging, more fun. But most drivers do NOT measure their driving satisfaction by their ability to operate a clutch and shifter skillfully. And although the manual transmission is mechanically more efficient than automatic alternatives, most drivers are not able to operate a manual transmission with sufficient skill to achieve better performance OR better fuel efficiency that a well-engineered automatic transmission. MOST enthusiasts and environmentalists who believe they are skilled at operating a manual trans. fall short of the performance and efficiency modern automatics can deliver.

Having driven all three... I prefer the automatic for regular everyday driving. I fear the longterm durability and repairablity of CVT.

[johnjaegerelona]

Here's a good explanation why racers and off road enthusiasts go for manual. I first learned how to drive on a 4 speed 1982 Mitsubushi Lancer. I learned automatic on a year 2000+ Nissan Sentra. It only took me around 5-10 minutes to learn.😅😅😅

[sabiqoon]

Very helpful, very informative. Thank you.

[qcrctgavarcesxrfab]

I’m watching this before starting driving school. I’m excited to learn manual! It’s just sad that most premium cars only has manual as their base models usually. And those with better interior and other features are reserved for the automatics and cvts

[jiggsborah]

When I was young I loved manual transmission. I loved shifting through the gears.
I'm older now and I much prefer automatic transmission

[yaklongar]

It is an valuable video made me to understand the meaning of cvt now and how to use it and when thanks 😊 for that

[Ckrepp]

Wife and I exclusively drive manual vehicles. It's amazing how much more in tune you are with both your car and other drivers. It makes driving fun, and it has to be for how much I drive for work/play.
