Are all cars now automatic transmissions?
1 Answers
Not all cars now are automatic transmissions. When each car model releases a new version, there will be options for both automatic and manual transmissions. An automatic transmission means the driver does not need to shift gears manually; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. A manual transmission requires the driver to manually shift gears by moving the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, thereby altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. The differences between automatic and manual transmissions are: 1. Different transmissions: automatic transmissions use an automatic gearbox, while manual transmissions use a manual gearbox. 2. Different driving methods: automatic transmissions can automatically switch to the required gear, while manual transmissions require manual gear shifting.
