Why Do More People Learn Manual Transmission Than Automatic?
1 Answers
Because obtaining a manual transmission driver's license allows one to drive both types of vehicles, and the tuition fees are relatively lower, most people choose to learn manual transmission. On the other hand, those who obtain an automatic transmission license can only drive automatic transmission vehicles, and the pass rate for the test is relatively higher, making it suitable for students who already own or plan to purchase an automatic transmission car, as well as older students. The content of the automatic transmission test differs from the manual transmission test, with the following distinctions: 1. Automatic transmission excludes gear shifting: Among the 16 test items in Subject 3, gear shifting is one of the more challenging actions. Many people fail the manual transmission test due to incorrect gear shifting, but this possibility is eliminated in the automatic transmission test as this item is not included. 2. Manual transmission requires the driver to coordinate with the clutch for gear shifting, while automatic transmission operates based on preset gear ratios by the transmission, without manual intervention. The difference is that automatic transmission shifting is simpler, with fewer shifts required, whereas manual transmission requires sequential gear shifting. 3. Manual transmission Subject 3 requires the use of the clutch.
