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

[victorevolution]

sino na ba nasiraan ng at dito?

and bakit nasira?

got 10++ old trooper 4x4 at(in which it is not a 4x4 on the fly) i guess it's more than 15 years old yet it's at is still working a okay never had any problems with it, palit nozzle tip and presto pati usok wala na (use this auto hard)

sa mga nasiraan ng at tranny bakit po nasira? and cost?

di pa naman sira mt trany ng hi ace namin kaso pag nagshishift ka may maingay na parang ayaw kumagat kaysa sa trooper(almost the same age)

both casa maintained
but since dami ng auto and they already served us well(10+++ years) kay prens auto sa lp na lang namin pinapaservice and change oil sa shell(hi ace used as a dog carrier pag may lakad family oh- trooper pamalengke at kung may bundok na pupuntahan)

it depends on the owner, my dad still got his mc arthur styled jeep and up until now its running.

lahat naman ng auto may cost of maintainance kung magtitipid ka eh bahala ka sa buhay mo as long as pagnasiraan ka eh ikaw at pamilya mo lang madadamay at huwag yung ibang motorista

and besides almost all here in the forum knows how to drive both save yung walang both(at and mt)

2nd hand 1995 Lancer AT with signs of previous overheating (stains on the radiator tank, oil leaks everywhere). Also had a sticker from an AT shop on Visayas Ave. Worked ok for a few years aside from a few ATF leaks here and there that were solved with a refill every now and then. Things went south when I overheated due to a busted fan. AT was slipping and sliding when cold and wouldn't shift out of 3rd until restarted.

Tranny replacement was 15k parts 4k labor. Everything was fine until a drive shaft oil seal blew on me the next day. Went for a back job and though that leak was solved another was found in the main pump area. Because it would entail another day of downtime I just let it be and lived with it for another year until I finally sold the car. All in all that car with a dubious maintenance history survived 7 years of daily rush hour driving. Not bad.

I still drive an AT. When the road gets curvy and traffic-free that's when I wish I had an MT.

I have nothing against any kind of transmission. Pero since luma ang kotse ko, lagi ko iniisip na pag tumirik ba, puwede itulak at itabi para hindi hassle sa iba. So ayun manual tranny.

You can do that with an AT. Just put it in Neutral and push.

Torque converters have a mechnical lock-up. At a certain point (or speed), the torque converter will mechanically lock up. This means that the engine and the tranny are mechanically locked (no slipping, sliding clutches there). It releases when speeds or RPM's go down however, reverting back to "automatic" mode.

[JohnM]

^ Yep and the lockup happens lower in the RPM range with the latest iterations.

I still like playing with a stick though. An AT will most likely be faster and smoother on the same route but nothing beats grabbing the right gear at the right place at the right time

And the right car.

I like driving an AT, but I want to drive an MT. That basically sums it up for me.

sino na ba nasiraan ng at dito?

and bakit nasira?

Yung lumang sentra b14 namin nagjejerk kapag change shift from 1st to 2nd yung governor pumapalya na, we sold it bago pa lumala sira. Yung father in law ko naman nasira yung reverse gear ng carnival nila ayaw umandar. Rebuild cost went up to around 45k kaso wala din nasira din after a few months nauwi na lang sa pagbili ng surplus na transmission.

naalala ko pala....last last week lang pala e nagkaroon ng hairline crack yung steel cooler line ng AT ng sasakyan ko. halfway through my 35 km trip bigla nagbago ang takbo ng pickup. ayun tumatagas na pala. anlaki ng epekto sa governor and throttle valve. ayaw nya idownshift. buti may baon ako 1 liter ATF. kinarga ko then takbo sa kaibigan kong may shop para mahinang yung linya. minor problem na kung hindi ko napansin agad e major problem na. malamang palit transmission nyan kung naubusan ng fluid. yung nacanvass ko na 7-10k na AT e 3 years ago pa iyon. malamang nagmahal na ngayon.
