Automatic vs Manual Transmission

Which is better: Manual or Automatic transmission? This debate has been present for the last seven decades. Manual and automatic transmissions are completely different technologies, which use different configurations and principles. One is based on a simple gear pair, while the other is based on a planetary gear set. One uses a torque convertor, while the other uses a clutch pack. We will do a logical comparison of these technologies in this video.

Please make a video on how to understand this video.

It's all nicely explained and I still don't know what the fuck is going on.

“This is why a manual transmission ride is never a smooth experience” and I took that personally

[saucybaka]

Wow this video made me understand transmissions less

[thrombosed]

I always thought an automatic transmission would just be a manual transmission but shifting it automaticlly

[LaGuerre]

manual transmission: ok, makes sense
automatic transmission: *_IT'S WIZARDS_*

As long I live in a region that gets snow, I will own a vehicle that has a manual transmission. There have been many times when I would have been hopelessly stuck if I had been driving an automatic. I was able to use the clutch and gas to "rock" the car out of a stuck spot. That probably shortens the life of the clutch, but it is better than being stuck in a snowstorm for hours or days.

The smoothness of the manual transmission is something that you learn with practice, so that can be a bit misleading information. In the other hand, it is recommended to have the engine engaged during breaking all the way before it starts to stall. By leaving the engine engaged you let your engine help you slow the vehicle down, saving a bit on breaks. I will also like to add that driving on downhills manual also helps to avoid the vehicle gaining too much speed, thus also not depending merely on break pads. Just saying…

"never a smooth experience"
I take that as an insult

Manual transmission - Ok. I see. Ah got it make sense.
Automatic transmission - which gear? What color? Release which what?

I prefer a manual. Better control (engine braking for example), smoother shifting (provided you know how to drive a vehicle with a manual transmission), and better fuel economy. Also I've had automatics that at certain speeds and loads couldn't decide between 3rd and 4th gear and kept shifting between the two giving you whiplash.

honestly, as much as traffic makes me wish i had an automatic transmission (seriously, operating the clutch and constant swapping between the 1st and 2nd gear is a nightmare)
i have to say, that in almost every other non-traffic situation, manual transmission is pure joy
you basically feel every single move you make
you can rev the engine if you want
you feel the sudden surge of power when you change the gear and quickly release the clutch pedal while revving the engine
i honestly recommend everyone to try the manual transmission at least a few times if it's possible

You forgot to mention that manual is also a free anti-theft mean in the States

I just press and hold W on my keyboard to accelerate.

Thank You Engineers.
Your ingenuity is appreciated.

[francescoromeo]

"this is why manual transmission is never a smooth experience" yeah, if you're too lazy to get it right

[Sonic]

Tesla drivers: what's a transmission

[vck]

My brain burned during the explanation of automatic transmission

[Foxfady]

This is legit the only video that made me understand this thing and i had seen like over 30 the past year and never got it till now

[LilRed_offical]

I know ALOT about cars.. But this video made me forget which was a bolt turns
