Battle of the Transmissions: M/T vs. A/T

[alwayz_yummy]

most at are high-geared.. ang mt naman ay low-geared..

but siyempre, take into consideration pa yung huge losses ng AT because Fluid is the main medium..torque converter...

e ang MT directed halos sa shaft/flywheel..kaya mas lesser ang powerloss.

and maybe your AT car is not built for speed or di kaya may issues kaya di ganun ang acceleration.. e bakit yung kia pride ng mom ko, during its prime, its so easy to overtake, despite the 1.3L and 3-speed AT.. its in the technique na din.

sir AY dito kasi sa province in terms of overtaking not only mid size ang ini overtake mo consider po yung mga prime movers na nagka ka sunod sunod need power and fast acceleration talaga..ok lng po sana kung yung mga latest tranny cars na kasi easy na lang mag pick up nang speed..

overtaking sa AT? madali naman sa Honda City '03 IDSI. Iset mo lang sa S mode and shifter ayun para kang naka turbo! lakas lang sa gaso....

[OldSchoolHack]

Ganun ba yun? overtake ako ng overtake sa Honda City 1.5 VTEC nasa D lang naman. yun nga lang pag ganito gawain ko lagi sayang sa gas. sa CVT gearless kaya wala low gear hi gear issue. Unless shift mo sa manual mode para meron ka 1 to 7 gears (di ko din ginagawa).

sticky thread na pala to... It's been 3 years na since i posted this. Ngbibida kasi ung kasama ko noon na maganda ang A/T kesa sa M/T, samantalang kakastart pa lang nyang magdrive at matutong umapak sa gas. hehe. Nice to know dami ngshashare ng ideas dito, that's the spirit mga repa! i had my car traded in to a new one. i stuck to M/T pa rin. hehe. i'm open to ideas having A/T though.

Very informative... keep it coming mga repa!

A few more things I can say.

The automatic transmission has come a long way in terms of reliability and efficiency. Modern A/T's are more intelligent, more fuel-efficient, and sometimes integrates a lot of features previously only available to luxury cars.

It used to be that the only compelling reason to buy an A/T car is convenience, and that the price you pay is bad fuel economy. Now, fuel-efficiency on A/T's has become at par or to some extent, even better than M/T under certain situations. It'll be unfair to compare the modern A/T to the those models from the 70's-80's or even the 90's. So if the last time you drove an A/T was way back in 1989, you can't use your judgment back then and apply it to modern A/T's. If you need to decide, you should always test drive both M/T and A/T models of the car your'e interested in.

Pag naging mainstream na ang Dual-clutch systems, lalong lalamang ang mga AT

kung anu-anong sites at forum ako naghahanap at nagreregister meron pala dito thread na ganito (A/T vs M/T) at 3 years na. hirap lang magback-track lalo na kung nasa 1200+ na ang mga posts
emarqz, natawa ako sa post mo, naalala ko rin bigla ang kakilala ko... at yung isang pinsan ko ko na amboy.
for me, I also prefer yung M/T.

sa buhay, di lang naman dapat AT alam mo i-drive, dapat alam mo lahat i drive.. kasi pag emergency arises, e either MT or AT lang alam mo at nagkataong di available ung tranny na alam mo....magsisi ka..

ako, i pefer MT..a fast MT..pero ngayon, puros AT na halos lahat..and MT's are restricted to base models


SANA MAY MT DIN SA HIGH END MODELS! kahit upon request lang...
