Is the Jetta an automatic or manual transmission?
1 Answers
Jetta models are available in both automatic and manual transmission versions. Introduction to Automatic Transmission: Automatic transmission, as the name implies, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. Introduction to Manual Transmission: Cars with manual transmission use a manual gear-shifting mechanical transmission (also known as manual transmission, MT) to adjust speed. That is, the driver must manually shift the gear lever to change the gear meshing position inside the transmission, thereby altering the gear ratio to achieve speed change. The gear lever can only be shifted when the clutch is depressed.
