One disadvantage of manuals that I learned the hard way: you need all 4 limbs to operate it. If you travel alone, and hurt either a hand or a leg (especially a leg), you are basically stranded. On the other hand, a pirate with one hand, one leg and one eye would be perfectly fine operating an automatic, he would probably even be texting his crewmates in the process.

I am surprised I haven't see more people mention it. The biggest advantage of an automatic is being able to inch forward more easily especially while in traffic. For example: lets say you are driving in stop and start traffic on the freeway. You don't have to constantly be operating the clutch while putting the car in 1st gear then neutral. All you have to do in an automatic is release the break to start and then press the break to stop -> even the gas is not necessary unless you are going over 5 miles an hour. You might not think this is that big of a deal but most people get very tired driving in slow traffic for hours with a manual.

@robertulrich3964

im suprised at your statement. actually, you can slip a clutch out 5% and creep forward in heavy traffic. if you don't tailgate, one could argue, there's less work because you don't have to start/stop with a brake, you slip and creep. at least that's how my car worked. there might be some cars that have really heavy clutches which is outside my point.

you can float the gears no clutch required. But that’s a Kenworth don’t know about cars.

The only time I have felt my manual transmission was a disadvantage was the time I was driving cross country to work with a coworker to save fatigue and split fuel cost. When he got in the car his eyes got big and he said"this is a manual?' I said, "yep " and thought nothing of it till it was his turn to drive, at which point he admitted he had never driven a manual..... I wound up driving the whole 1500 miles straight through after a failed attempt to coach him on how to drive a stick. Lessons ended after he stomped the parking brake instead of the clutch while taking an off ramp. On the plus side he covered all fuel for the trip to make up for his inability to drive.

Constant speed propeller is the manual transmission of aviation

For off-road, you did make a couple comments but this is where an auto really shines. The control and low crawl without stalling at incline is paramount. Try losing power brakes, steering when off camber and extreme angle - and restarting your engine when gravity is not helping fluids etc. In addition - the shock load on non-upgraded drivetrain parts when people put oversized wheels/tires - an auto will drastically help that.

@benmlee

2 ай бұрын

Main advantage of auto is slow crawling. The shock on drivetrain is up to the driver, and you do have a few reserve braking cycles even after engine stalls. On the plus side of manual, the main thing is feel for terrain. You know exactly how much power and how fast the wheels are turning. You can feel when the tire starts to slip even a tiny amount. Very important when you are rocking back and forth to get unstuck. Going thru varying terrain, you can feel when is slippery, so don't gas it. Then when you feel more traction, give it good gas to get back up to speed. With auto, you loose all that. I hardly get stuck driving manual. With auto transmission, I got stuck in sand where I normally would have no issue feeling the terrain. Takes finesse to drive a manual. I use to see it all the time at the mud flats in Azusa, CA. Guys in auto trucks would floor the gas and dig themselves up to the axel without realizing the wheels are just spinning. With manual, you know that immediately and stop.

An automatic simply doesn’t provide the same degree of control, and never will.

For my first seven cars, I had only manuals. Loved them. I made the change to autos for only one reason; they aren't fun to drive in crawling traffic. My clutch foot got plenty tired. These days I rarely get into very long traffic jams, so I regret not going back to manual with my current car.

I enjoy the activity of shifting and the challenge of driving it to certain limits when I'm ready for some adventure. I feel like it keeps my driving mind sharp.

Rational, cogent arguments for the auto trans...... I will still own and buy manual vehicles as long as I am able to.

@@jbellfield Not really, most big luxury cars are autos.

A few advantages with the manual. 1) Your vehicle will never be stolen because no one can drive a manual anymore. 2) You won't have to pay $5,000 to have your automatic transmission replaced. You will have to do a clutch, but that costs a lot less. My Honda Civic Si has 150,000 miles on it and the clutch still works like brand new. 3) You can coast! I do this all the time when I see a red light coming up or going downhill. 4) If your battery dies, you can still get your car started. Get the car on a little incline, hop in, let it roll down the incline and pop the clutch. Boom, you are on your way.

1) Launching is not what people who drive on roads should be concerned 2) Most "automatics" these days do not have torque converter, but double clutch or steel/rubber band, so in most cases you don't get the benefits of traditional automatic 3) Car is supposed to built to last that shock and again, not really a thing on normal road use 4) Not really an issue, except maybe more work. You use first gear, raise clutch all the way and car goes slow. If it goes too fast, put clutch down for a while and use inertia. 5) With manual, you can select low gear before you start using it and you don't have to wait for kick-down to happen 6) With a strange car, you put gear in, start to raise clutch, when you feel car want's to go, release parking brake. To get a car moving forward on even surface, clutch down, 1st gear on, start raising clutch slowly and car will start moving even if you don't give it any gas. If you feel engine struggling, press clutch a bit deeper and start raising it again slower. I do prefer automatic, but only the reliable ones, like traditional automatic with torque converter and the type of eCVT Toyota ja probably Mitsubishi too uses. I would not touch CVT and anyone getting DSC/DSG should realize that while it is better than CVT, it too has shorter life span than good systems and it will cost an arm and a leg and then some to fix when it breaks or needs service.

Anti theft only in the states. Gues you guys are lucky, in other countries it's more easy so rob a manual.

Slipping the clutch in a modern manual car at low rpms doesn't wear a clutch all that much. It's when you overheat it that it does. You can stay at the bite point for a while at low speeds/revs. Hill assist really helps.

I was always fine with a manual; drove them almost exclusively for almost 30 years. Then autos stopped being slushboxes and you could determine your level of engagement. But I do miss throwing gears. The only thing I don't miss are long left turns from a stop. I hate that you have that shift mid-turn and it upsets the chassis ever so slightly, though that means nothing in normal driving. Just hated the FEEL of it. So I would start from 2nd. But other than that, I miss manuals.

I mean it does make sense in a serious way. People who enjoy driving and who drive for enjoyment typically like manuals for the tactile, direct control that shifting provides. For those who drive purely to get from A to B, the easier and more practical option of an automatic is the better one.

Autos have improved so much during last 20 years, my original car had 3 gears and no synchromesh on 1st gear. This meant that on the very rare occasions 1st was needed whilst still moving neutral needed selecting with clutch up, engine then reved then clutch dipped and gear selected. Called double de clutching technique needed on many European trucks into 1990s.

you bring up some good points. in a car for drag racing and launch i’d probably go with an auto, but only if it’s dual clutch. Manual for everything else

you can reduce transmission shock load at a stoplight by revving in neutral so the gears are up to speed. (also saves your synchros gears). This feature is largely unknown as it is a special variation of double clutching but at a standstill.

Glorious, not in Europe. For some reason people here don't like automatics. Most of the time they've never even used one.

As someone who's been driving standard transmission vehicles for over 40 years, they are still my choice. I bought my current car in 2010 and when I test drove it with the salesman, he asked me how long I had been driving trucks. I asked why he thought that and he said that I was so smooth with the clutch, especially for the first time driving that car. Now, he wasn't much of a standard trans driver, as I was cringing watching him move it, so it's definitely taken with a grain of salt, but I have yet to wear out a clutch disc or get chatter from heat spots on the flywheel and/or pressure plate. I drove for a ride hailing service for 9 months, adding 70k miles to my car's odometer in that time, and several customers noted that they didn't notice it was a standard trans until long into the journey. My favorite thing about standard transmissions is that it's tactile and you have greater control over the amount and timing of torque being applied to the wheels. If the road is covered in snow or ice, you can start off in second gear and reduce wheel spin. Plus, you can use the trans to help control downhill speeds with engine drag vs riding the brakes. In my car, if you let off the throttle while in gear, after a few seconds the computer stops sending fuel to the engine, until you reach idle speed. So, if you're coasting downhill, leave it in gear and not in neutral, and you won't consume fuel during that time. Typically, standard transmissions return better fuel mileage due to automatics having a hydraulic pump that doesn't contribute to the power sent to the wheels. Dual clutch transmissions and CVT's function differently and often are more fuel efficient due to more gear ratios available, which reduce overall load to the engine during normal acceleration. Most standard transmissions have 5 or 6 forward gears, where DCT's are 7 or more and CVT's have an infinite amount up to the final drive ratio. CVT's are like snowmobiles, where you really run at a constant RPM, while the transmission continues to increase the output shaft speed. They don't handle abuse, like towing or drag racing, and wear out faster than typical automatics.

Your spot on with everything as my brother taught me all about A modified automatic will always launch harder than a manual! His baby step explanation was a high stall converter if your engine is putting out 100 hp? It multiplies. Eg: 125 hp. A manual when revving? You still have 100 hp! I drive an automatic but i miss driving my sold Toyota hilux! 2003 SR5 (Toyota tacoma) excellent video as usual! Cheers from Australia 👍 ❤

Excellent reasoning. I will, however, stick to my stick. I got my licence on a stick. I've been driving a stick for 35 years. I've gotten used to being in direct control of when my transmission does what is needed. Plus, try bump-starting an automatic on a dying battery

Correct me if I'm wrong but if you start letting the clutch slip, wouldn't that be torque multiplication also like a torque converter?

But one thing makes up for the manual disadvantage that's a biggie. If you get car jacked! There have been many instances of a criminal trying to car jack a manual and they get right back out and flee because they don't know how to drive it!! I've read of this happening several times. Also a regular car thief that wants to steal cars from parking lots, driveway or side of the street. They see it's manual, they move one, most of the time.

I'll give you one very good reason to stick to manuals. Yeah, ultimately, modern automatics are quicker in acceleration, but you will pay for that slight advantage with a major repair bill when it breaks, and most likely, it will. You can drive a manual almost as fast, and if you don't beat the clutch and syncros to death, that system will ultimately last longer and repairs that might be needed would be less costly. Also, I believe ultimate feel and control of traction is better in a manual, as well as the driver needing to pay attention to road conditions more to determine the proper gear to be in. Automatics may be faster but manuals are more fun and maybe safer.

You’re right the newer automatics are better and faster than manuals especially with their programmable shift points and paddle shifters. But in my stable I usually had both, an automatic in the big car for the daily driver and workhorse and a manual in the small sporty small car for the weekends driving out twistey mountain roads or up the coast on highway 1. With a manual it takes more skill and it’s just more fun, you feel more connected to the road and car. Each to their own. 😊😊

Why you shouldn't buy a manual: 1. Manufacturers are giving up on them. 2. DCT shift in 60-120ms. Quicker than the time to drop the clutch or blink an eye. 3. 8spd, 10spds allow fuel efficiency through optimization of torque curves and lower revs at cruising speed. Manuals end at 6 or 7th gear. 4. No clutch needed. Ever. 5. Easy to sell as a used car. Manuals are for pros. And only one reason why you should: 1. More FUN, engaging, emotional and energetic. OK, I'm sold. Manual it is for me.

DerekSiems. As a used car dealer, autos' are easier to sell, but a used manual is a much harder sell and hence price is affected. So to say they hold value better, is almost always not true - the exceptions being some sports/performance/exotic vehicles.

Johan Cha Ford and GM’s co-developed 10-speed automatic certainly seems to be a great transmission, and utilizing it in a truck is a great move to boost fuel economy, as well as the reasons you already mentioned. But manual transmissions are definitely way more emotional and engaging. There’s something so incredibly satisfying about shifting perfectly and having ultimate control over the car. My Mazda is a manual and I love it. To me, the biggest downside to a manual is crawling through traffic, but on open country roads (there are a few left around here) a manual is an absolute joy.

I agree with the CRAWLING point. It’s very difficult and annoying in manual transmission. It wears down the clutch plate.

My dad had a pickup burn because of driving too slow for too long with an automatic while working on the ranch. He even had a transmission cooler with its radiator in front of the engine radiator and an always on fan attached directly to the crank shaft, to help control the ATF temperature. Unfortunately, Because he was going so slowly the torque converter was heating up the AFT faster than the cooler could extract the heat and eventually the fluid burned. The fire erupted into the engine bay through the fill/dipstick tube and spread the fire there. His other pickup would have been better suited to those conditions because, though a manual, it has a 7:1 granny gear for slow starts with a heavy load and if really needed a 2:1 reduction in the transfer case. Yes, for short distances, the torque converter will be better for slower speeds than gears accommodate, but for very long distances, there is no substitute for reduced gear ratios, without which, either system will see damage or catastrophic failure.

I just think when I'm driving manual, I actually feel like I'M the one that controls the vehicle at all times(witch is more fun). Wherein the comfort is better in automatic, but I don't feel that involved with the driving itself. So I'll stick with manual.

I like both, even had an f150 5-speed. Definitely agree with the feel of the drive, manual is much better connection with the road. For small hatchback, definitely manual again.

@@hanswangnstvold435 Well, it's not the Arctic, but I grew up in Michigan, where it's just as cold. With a stick you can slow a skid by down shifting, can't do that with an automatic. I can't believe you didn't know that.

Totally agree with all your reasons. The CVT in my wife's crosstrek is a great, efficient transmission. But I'm going to drive stick until I'm physically unable to do so. (Cold, dead hands, etc, etc...) There are days where my greatest joy is a solid 4-3 downshift...

I couldn't agree more. The fun factor is still there for me in my manual card....

I wonder how many times one launches their vehicle on their daily use.. Even for races, I wonder how much fun or satisfying would it be to just floor your right foot and control steering...

The only problem I found with mt is ever increasing level of traffic everywhere. It used to be "traffic hour", now it's more like " half-a-day traffic ".

"Anyone can come to dealer, get 800hp vehicle and drive it even if he is completely clueless.." - doesn't sound like pros argument for me ;)

Exactly why i love this video. FACTS not opinions. And actual useful info

I drive a 2013 Hyundai Sonata auto and live in LA with heavy traffic never driven a manual ever and gotten use to an auto with traffic. But now I’m thinking of buying a 1997 Supra auto maybe manual. Reason for an auto is it’ll be such a drag to keep on focusing shifting gears in traffic, so instead I can comfortably cruise in my dream car. What is y’all take on manual in high traffic city’s

Automatic transmissoon is awsome in the high tourqe/launching mode but i want to decide my shifting my self, just waiting for a new type of hybrid transmission/clutch so come out.

“You’re friends can’t drive manual” well that’s all the reason i needed to go buy a manual 😂. If you learn stick to drive my car you have earned the privilege of driving it

Dude IDK what y'all's talking about, om Romania most people drive manuals, I, an 18 year old, have been taken straight to the road, on my first driving lesson, it's the same for everyone, it literally takes like, 5 minutes to learn teh controls???? The literal dumbest people, who can barely read or write, can drive a manual no problem, everyone here can drive a manual. I just spent like 30 minutes with my father, on a plain, like, where cattle usually eat, or where you plant corn, matter of fact there was a corn plantarion nearby, so I spent like 30 minutes there, to learn how to start the car, but the thing is it's more difficult there, cause it's not flat, and the tires don't grip enough so you gotta be a little aggressive, but I managed, and then the very next day the driving instructor just took me straight to the road, knowing i have never driven a car before, and nothing happened, it was a less circulated road, but, dang, I'm fine, everyone here drives manuals, and it's pretty nice tbh, you need to pay a lot of attention to everything at first, but you get used to it easily, it's pretty cool.

There will always be enthusiasts and manual transmission cars to buy. I would rather have fun in a manual car than drive a faster automatic car. Two pedals are for toy cars.

As a mechanical engineer and car enthusiast myself, I usually enjoy your videos. This one, though, is more subjective than objective. I guess it's geared (no pun intended) to a more casual audience than what I believe most of your other videos are (or at least the ones I've watched)
