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

[rflores]

yes... he really means that... he used to give the automatic driver one back in the day (up to present siguro)... if he is the passenger, he prefers the automatic tranny specifically for this purpose... if he is the driver, he prefers.... to be the passenger...

haha loko ka dualsim. baka magalit si d_mac

A/T for sedans, mpv, vans and suv. M/T sa mga kagaya ng sports car ni OB.

Yup, M/T kapag sports car o offroad. Sir pwede magtanong, bakit OB yung tawag sakanya?

I would just like to share some personal experience and thoughts about the continuous discussion regarding M/T vs A/T.

A friend and I recently drove around to "compare" two cars -- a 4-door, 2.0L, slightly modified compact sedan that was M/T and a larger displacement, sporty handling, 2-door A/T (tiptronic) sports car.

You can rev the engine and drop the clutch with the M/T compact sedan. Making the tire squeal on 2nd, even if only momentarily, is such a blast. You have the challenge and task of shifting quickly and smoothly with a M/T so you feel more engaged. The M/T compact sedan never "won" any of the performance comparisons we did (this obviously however was not due to the transmission difference), but we both reluctantly admitted it was more "fun" to drive. This was mostly due to the transmission.

There are so many ways to look at the comparison between M/T and A/T. "Fun" to drive is just one aspect. If that is a major factor, M/T, hands down.

I choose comfort, therefore AT. I have more focus pa sa steering.

Tested M/T & A/T
Both vehicles are
Fortuner 2.5 vnt
Both stock

M/T hands down specially going through center island gutters during flood..

M/T have better fuel efficiency.
M/T are easier to maintain.
But not for lady drivers.. Lady drivers tend to be clutch drivers thus ruining the transmission.

Male = M/T
Female = A/T

that is the common notion before.... pero dumadami na din male na gusto A/T.

Mas okay na ko sa clutch driver kaysa dun sa mga atat bumitaw sa clutch especially at low speeds, which makes for a very jerky ride.

I don't know about other drivers but I always make it a point to step on the clutch whenever I'm riding a gear at low speeds (e.g. 2nd gear at 10-20 kph) so that stepping on the gas won't make it lunge clumsily forward. Will this kill my clutch faster? I don't know - but at least my passengers are more comfy.

[TheGreenThing]

Kahit 5kph pa ang takbo mo, basta dahan dahan ang release hindi yan mag jjerk
Unless may sira ang clutch mo to begin with.

True. You always have to release gently when coming from a stop. But that's not the scenario I'm describing.

Imagine you're in slow moving traffic, and you're in 2nd gear at 30 kph, then you let go of the gas - if you don't step on the clutch when you release the gas, the car's bound to jerk. Likewise, when you're coasting in-gear, then you step on the gas, the car would jerk again if you don't watch the clutch.

It's much smoother with newer manuals, but still not as smooth as automatics if you don't mind the clutch.

Even sir for other men. marami pa din hinde alam ang proper use ng "M/T", basta mapatakbo lang ang sasakyan.
