What is the difference between manual and automatic transmission?

[StLaila]

Manual and automatic transmissions have the following specific differences: 1. Manual transmission cars require a clutch to shift gears for acceleration or deceleration. Without a clutch, the car cannot start from a standstill. In contrast, automatic transmission cars do not have a clutch at all; they rely on engine speed to automatically increase vehicle speed. When the engine speed increases, it automatically shifts to a higher gear, allowing the vehicle to move normally. Both manual and automatic transmissions have clutch mechanisms, but their locations differ. 2. Functionality: Manual transmission cars are more fuel-efficient than their automatic counterparts of the same type. During normal driving, a manual transmission only needs to be in a high gear while maintaining throttle, whereas an automatic transmission car requires more throttle to increase engine speed and thus vehicle speed. Manual transmission cars are more suitable for long-distance driving, while automatic transmission cars are better suited for urban driving.
