The Difference Between Automatic and Manual Transmission?
1 Answers
Automatic and manual transmissions differ in the following ways: 1. Operation: Automatic transmissions do not require clutch pedals, having only brake and accelerator pedals; manual transmissions require clutch pedals for manual gear shifting and reversing. 2. Working Principle: Automatic transmissions use planetary gear mechanisms to change gears automatically based on accelerator pedal position and vehicle speed changes; manual transmissions change gear positions and transmission ratios by moving the gear lever to alter gear meshing positions inside the transmission. 3. Gear Indicators: Automatic transmission gear indicators are marked as P, R, N, D; manual transmission gear indicators are marked as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, R, etc.
