Manual vs. Automatic Transmission
You want to get a new car, but you are not sure whether to get one with an automatic transmission or one with a manual transmission. Well read on and perhaps this essay will help you out with your decision. Cars have played a big role in my life. When I was a little kid my dad and I used to work on his 197? Ford Granada. Every time something would go wrong with the car he would ask me to help him fix it. Not because I knew much about cars, because I didn't know anything about the subject, but because he wanted me to learn about cars and spend some time with me. Or maybe he just didn't want me to get ripped off at a garage when something went wrong with my car. Either way, we spent a lot of time

Automatic transmissions, however, do not have this problem; they do not roll back on hills. A benefit of manual transmissions is acceleration. Cars with manual transmissions accelerate more rapidly and evenly than automatic transmissions, if you know exactly when to shift. Automatic transmissions accelerate a little slower. One very important con on automatic transmissions is that it gives much lesser mileage. Manual transmissions do not use any power from the engine to change gears, because you do that your self, thus saving you money. Another advantage on a car with a manual transmission is that, if your battery dies, you do not need jumper cables and an additional car. All you have to do to start up a car, with a manual transmission and a battery failure, is to push it to a reasonable speed (walking speed) and then jump in and start the vehicle.
The manual gearbox just gives you a lot more control over your car. Like safermotoring.co.uk says, on one of their reports, "Many veteran drivers who have experience of both types of transmission systems insist that a vehicle with a manual gearbox is safer because it gives them more control." I mean I don't know about you, but for me the more control I have over my car the better. Another con on automatic transmissions is that they are just boring to drive. I may be a little bias, because of the simple fact that I like manual transmissions a lot better than automatics, but statistics never lie.
As you can
As long as your mechanic makes sure that a used transmission won’t pose problems to your car, you should opt for used over new. You can also consider rebuilding the transmission yourself to spare yourself the labor costs. If you have the time and the skill set, you can consider it a fun side project that saves you the time and money of shopping for a new
Have you ever wanted to learn how to drive ‘stick’; or maybe, the car you saved up for only comes with a manual transmission? Perhaps you rather look more ‘slick’ and have more experience by driving a manual rather than a plain old automatic? Driving a manual vehicle is not very difficult if you follow these steps: getting used to using the clutch-pedal and the gearbox, beginning to drive, and learning to shift while driving.
The benefits of autonomous vehicles include reduction in frequency of crashes because "further automation is expected to save more lives ... Automatic braking when a car detects an obstacle will reduce rear-end collisions, and fully driverless cars will dramatically reduce human error, which

Manual transmission cars also help save money on gas since the driver is able to control how long it takes for the vehicle shift. The economy is in a rut and saving money is very important for many people, but if you are not struggling then an automatic transmission may be best for you. Another advantage is manual transmission cars tend to last longer since there is less strain on the engine and the driver has total control, but also very easy for a non skilled manual transmission driver to blow up the engine.
Possessing the knowledge of how all the parts in the car work together in order to make the car go is a very interesting concept, at least in my opinion. It was a concept that I never took the time to understand until I really wanted to find out how to drive a manual. Because I was so curious on the topic, I would ask my friends and relatives what it was like to drive a manual compared to the automatic transmission that I was used to. Almost everyone that I talked to would tell me the same thing. They always told me that it made you feel like you were more connected to your car. I wanted to experience
The transmission on your vehicle plays a vital role in keeping your vehicle on the road and working properly. If your transmission is damaged, you are not going to be able to safety drive your vehicle and if your transmission suffers serious damage, you are not going to be able to drive at all.
Have you recently purchased an automatic vehicle? Is this the first vehicle that you've ever owned? While you may have gotten some care tips from friends or relatives, they may have glossed over or forgotten about your transmission. While the transmission is a mysterious device for some people, there are still clear warning signs that is in need of repair or replacement. Here are a few things that you should be looking for:
As a first time car owner, you have a lot to learn about taking care of a vehicle. One of the biggest elements of your vehicle that you need to pay attention to is your transmission.

Vehicles are part of our every day lives; they take us to work, school, and home every day.

Thesis statement: Technology in cars have evolved so much during the last years that we can’t figure out which one to thank when it saves our lives, or when it makes our lives easier. Which is why I’ll talk about as much as I can during the time I am given
Driving a vehicle with a manual transmission allows you to exercise much greater control over the vehicle (which can be exciting in itself to many), the ability to use the clutch and shifter to control the vehicle, such
This paper will discuss the technology of sequential gearboxes. Relatively new technology, the sequential gearbox has been applied mostly in ATV’s, motorcycles, and the automobile racing industry. Recently this technology has begun to reach passenger cars. There are three main points of discussion; the workings of a manual transmission, how a sequential gearbox works and the advantages of them, and the applications of it today. The sequential gearbox is extremely revolutionary and is only used in high-end passenger cars, but maybe one day it will be a luxury the majority of the population will be able to experience.
