Differences Between Manual and Automatic Transmissions in Cars
1 Answers
There are several main differences between manual and automatic transmissions in cars: 1. Different principles: Manual transmissions require manually shifting the gear lever to change the gear engagement positions and transmission ratios inside the gearbox to achieve speed changes; Automatic transmissions can automatically shift gears based on the vehicle speed and engine RPM. 2. Different characteristics: Manual transmissions offer stable performance, high transmission efficiency, and good fuel utilization; Automatic transmissions provide convenient operation and flexible gear ratios. 3. Different transmission efficiencies: Manual transmissions use pure mechanical transmission, while automatic transmissions rely on hydraulic transmission through torque converters.
