Which Lasts Longer: Manual or Automatic Transmission?
1 Answers
Manual transmissions have a longer lifespan. Here are the relevant details: Automatic: Automatic transmissions (including torque converters, also known as wet clutches in some regions) and manual transmissions (with clutches) achieve the same function through entirely different methods. In a car, the automatic transmission is positioned the same way as a manual transmission. The primary role of an automatic transmission is to convert the engine's output into a wide range of speed variations delivered to the drive wheels. Manual: Manual transmissions consist of gear sets with different gear ratios. The basic working principle involves switching between these gear sets to change the gear ratio. As a critical component in power distribution, a transmission must include two major parts: the input shaft and the output shaft. Along with the gears that make up the transmission, these are the fundamental components of a manual transmission.
