Which is faster at starting, automatic or manual transmission?
1 Answers
Manual transmission has a faster starting speed. Here are the reasons why manual transmission has a higher starting speed than automatic transmission: 1. The power transmission efficiency of manual transmission cars can reach 85%, and some can even exceed 90%, while automatic transmissions vary depending on the type. In good cases, the power transmission efficiency can reach 80%, but CVT transmissions are generally below 70%. Dual-clutch transmissions, being closer to manual transmissions, have higher power transmission efficiency, but still not as high as manual transmissions. 2. With automatic transmissions, acceleration is indeed just a matter of stepping on the gas pedal, but this action is controlled by the car's computer. Manual transmissions, on the other hand, are not restricted in this way, making it easy to surpass automatic transmissions at the start.
