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

[GTi]

Depends on the car, really. Hirap ako makipaggitgitan using the Tribute, but have no problem with the Granvia and Santa Fe.

Yep, it's more about the car and not the tranny.

Yep agreed. I have a montero with paddle shift. Have rarely used the paddle other than out of sheer curiosity or the odd downshift pag long drive.

Question

Nagkaroon na po ba kayo ng major problem with AT within 50k odo or 5 years?

Nope... 2005 Accord * 103tkms and 2011 Santa Fe * 58tkms no transmission problems to date. 2006 Tribute and 2007 Santa Fe replaced engine and transmission supports at 67tkms and 74tkms respectively. 1997 Granvia replaced differential support bushing at 167tkms. That's it...

Among the AT cars we had, none of them had problems with their tranny. My 1997 Expedition in the US had 100k miles on it when I got it and I used it for another 50k miles. The 6th gen Accord was 195k km when we sold it while the 2009 City and Jazz were around 110k km.

Our old pickup had 300T+Km on it when we sold it. Still going strong. M/T you will most likely need to have the clutch lining replaced 2-3x in to get to that mileage.

2009 Sta. Fe. Approx 65t kms. Nabali yung input shaft. Very happy that Hyundai replaced it maski medyo out of warranty (missed pms). Suspect ko major culprit noon nagpa atf dialysis ako sa servitek. They used yung kanilang supplied atf which was by total kaso i think it was not up to recommended specs ng hyundai for the sta.fe.

A officemate has a 2010 montero gls. Inhibitor switch failure at 95t kms

Depende rin siguro sir sa gumagamit. Yung hilux sr5 ko more than 250k na natakbo. Wala pa napalitan sa tranny nya.

10 year old thread!

dati maka-MT ako, lalo na nung kasagsagan ng F&F earlier installments...

pero dahil sa traffic sa metro, maka-AT na ko.

How much is the average difference in maintennance cost, let's say after 100k distance travelled for AT vs. MT? (Ex. for subcompacts?)
Also is the maintennance cost for CVT vs. AT comparable?

[gearhead000]

Hirap ako makipag gitgitan using an AT. Probably psychological. I still prefer driving a manual.

I am surprised. It was one of the reason I prefer an A/T na. I find it very easy makipag-gitgitan using an A/T than M/T. Most times before you can change gears nasingitan ka na. With an A/T, you just hold the car using the brake. Pag-release mo ng preno tumatakbo ka na kaagad. Sa manual, magti-timpla ka pa ng clutch before the car gets moving.

Hmm. That's a bit odd I think na mas mahirap manggitgit sa Manual. Madali lang naman timplahin yung clutch especially if the car is yours and you've already gotten used to the clutch of your car. Changing geaes shouldn't be an issue as well. Lalo na if it's gitgitan sa traffic kasi you're normally on the first gear to begin with.

In my opinion, ATs are easier to use, but it cannot be denied that MTs are still way more fun to drive (wag lang pag traffic).

Ako rin mas ok ako makipag gitgitan sa manual kaysa matic. Dahil you control the clutch. Kumbaga may dalawang paa ka magcontrol. Kunwaring masobrahan ang apak sa gas, controlled pa rin ng clutch. So di nakakatakot. Unlike gas na talagang sa right foot lang aasa

Try practicing left foot braking. It will help.

Hi guys! me and my friend was on a passionate debate on what's the better type of transmission. He plans to buy a new car one in place of his old A/T car. Personally, having driven a car M/T for 5 yrs now, i encouraged him to get a M/T instead of his usual A/T. I haven't driven A/T cars that much, so i really really can't tell the better one objectively. Based on car racing games naman... manual trannys get the better edge, d ba? and i prefer it too. Pros and Cons..., maintenance cost, acceleration.. etc. Love to hear your insights mga pare. I appreciate it!

M/T for long rides since hindi ka mabobore at makaktulog. A/T for city specially on traffic mangangawit paa mo sa clutch pedal kapag m/t
