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

[Jeff2308]

I still prefer manual coz i like shifting gears and you have more control of the car.

right now im driving m/t vehicles. i've been thinking kung bibili ako ng sasakyan if m/t o a/t. eto thoughts ko:

pag m/t:

- di makagala yung isang kamay lalo pag city driving (dadakma ng food... hihimas ng cellphone... pipindot ng HU)

pag a/t:

- what if baha? kaso yung habagat the deepest floods i've driven to was only 8 inches high. work to home byahe scenario yun. so no worries
- what if tumirik? kaso this is gonna happen probably on the 15th year or so of today's vehicles.
- less precision driving.

Tama sir yun lang drawback nya kapag traffic hehehe😄😥.... If automatic mas mahal maintenance and kapag brandnew kotse mas malaki mura ng mt vs automatic naglalaro sa 60k to 100 k...

[Walter]

^^^ Price difference between AT and MT hovers around 40T only. Usually the AT version has added accessories compared to the same MT counterpart. Like better wheels, some exterior improvements, etc.

[dr. d]

unfortunately, when we buy the AT car, it comes as a package deal with all these other accessories.. hence the more realalistic 60-100K extra...
kung puede lang nga sanang yung transmission box lang ang palitan...
yung ibang accessory kasi ay ayaw ko naman...
"bossing... ayaw ko nyang headrest LCD screen... at ayoko nang manibelang maraming buton..." etc...
kung puedeng tingi ang accessories list...
heh heh.

right!!! to each his own.. tingi rules!
parang yung accessories list of the 60s...
personalized car buying..

i think it is possible... you just have to "compensate them adequately".
kung factory paint color nga... puedeng special order..
everything has a price..

Mas mura maintenance ng A/T pag alaga sa ATF changes. sa 21yrs ng vehicle namin ngayon lang nagpa transmission rebuild, yung previous owner kasi di masyado nagpapa change ng atf

for a brandnew vehicle, when is the earliest possible change in ATF? thanks

[ParticleX]

earliest possible change in atf? every oil change? check with your manual. Usually every 40k. Kung run-of-the-mill transmissions lang that accepts Dexron III fluid, Php250 or less lang per liter neto and you would need mga 4L or so. Pwede na isabay every 3rd or 4th change oil kasi mura lang

Sucks having m/t here in metro manila, sa probinsya ok lang.

Mahihilig sa driving mas prefer M/T, mas nararamdaman hatak. Katuwiran ng iba nakakapagod daw M/T pero di lang
naman driver ang pagod sa pagbibiyahe pati pasahero na di naman umaapak ng clutch at nagkakambyo
pagod din.

[bigfoot2000]

When u are over 40 years old i suggest u get the AT trans because the daily pressure of the clutch will eventually wear your lumbar (spinal connecting your pelvic bone) resulting in low back pain in the long run. By the time u notice it, some nerves may have been compressed by the pressure and it may result in numbness in some parts of your legs

[MrQ5]

resulta yan sir ng improper sitting position, pero pag ganyan edad madali ng mapagod paa at lumalabas na rayuma :D

[MrQ5]

pero malaking ginhawa ng a/t ngayon, thumbs up ako sa reliable a/t ngayon, pag daily driven.

pag rezing rezing, off road m/t.

[MrQ5]

*bf2000anu yun sir? glitch sa tsikot o spambot ka?

[GTi]

I remember our lolo driving a manual transmission car on a daily basis even when he was already in his 60s. No complaints whatsoever. Now already in his late 70s, he still drives a manual on occasion when his matic car is being serviced.

baka nakaranas pa yung lolo mo double pump sa clutch before shifting.

pero sa traffic talo talaga manual sa auto sa ginhawa ng pag drive.

pero either m/t or a/t ok lang, kung ayaw nyo sa trans nyo bigay na lang saken kasama na car :D

[litoskid]

I am 32 years old now back when i was still in the Pi ayaw ko bumili ng A/t kasi nasanay ako talaga sa manual bago ako nag migrate dito bumili pa kami strada na m/t,never ako nag drive ng a/t noong nandyan po ako ayaw ko kasi a/t parang pang matanda sabi ko sa sarili ko pero nagbago lahat po yon nung naka pag drive na ako ng a/t dito sa US parang ayaw ko na mag drive ng manual dahil sa comfort at walang kapagud pagud na pag drive.dati mag drive ako ilocos to manila pagud na ako sakit katawan pero dito sa US kapag mag long drive kami ng family ko hindi ganun kapagud kahit x2 sa distance ng travel ko jan noon. So pag uwi ko trade ko na m/t strada to a/t
