What are the differences between driving a manual transmission and an automatic transmission?
1 Answers
Manual transmission and automatic transmission differ in the following aspects: 1. Different operation difficulty: Manual transmission mainly relies on the driver to press the clutch pedal to complete gear shifting operations. Automatic transmission mainly relies on the hydraulic transmission principle of the torque converter to automatically complete gear shifting. 2. Different safety levels: The neutral gear in manual transmission vehicles causes loss of power, posing potential safety hazards during driving. Automatic transmission vehicles cannot use neutral gear while driving. 3. Different operation methods: Manual transmission requires the driver to manually shift gears by moving the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission and alter the gear ratio. Automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions.
