What is the difference between an automatic transmission and a manual-automatic transmission?
1 Answers
The differences between an automatic transmission and a manual-automatic transmission are as follows: 1. Different modes: A manual-automatic transmission offers both manual and automatic modes for selection. The driver can choose either the manual mode or the automatic mode, whereas an automatic transmission does not have a manual mode. 2. Different practical technologies: A manual-automatic transmission is a gearbox that combines the functions of manual and automatic shifting. In manual mode, it allows the driver to choose the shift timing independently. In contrast, an automatic transmission only lets the computer decide the shift timing, with no option for the driver to choose. 3. Different structures: A manual-automatic transmission mainly consists of a conventional gearbox, an electronically controlled clutch, an automatic shift control mechanism, and an electronic control unit. On the other hand, a standard automatic transmission is a hydraulic automatic transmission.
