Which is better, MT transmission or AT transmission?
1 Answers
MT, also known as manual transmission, requires the driver to manually shift gears by moving the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, which is more fuel-efficient. AT (automatic transmission) consists of a torque converter, planetary gear transmission, and control mechanism. It can automatically adjust speed and torque based on road conditions, allowing the driver to focus entirely on the road without being distracted by gear shifting. Each has its own advantages. Specific details are as follows: 1. MT working principle: The pump wheel and turbine form a working pair, similar to two fans placed opposite each other. The wind from one fan drives the blades of the other, with the wind acting as the medium for kinetic energy transfer. If liquid replaces air as the medium for kinetic energy transfer, the pump wheel will drive the turbine to rotate via the liquid. By adding a guide wheel between the pump wheel and turbine, the speed difference between them can be adjusted to achieve variable speed and torque. 2. AT transmission: AT does not require a clutch for shifting, has fewer gears with larger changes, and provides smooth connections, making it easier to operate. It offers convenience to the driver and a comfortable experience for passengers.
