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

[yapoy86]

experienced traffic driver. saket na ng paa ko sa clutch. mas maganda siguro pag automatic. brakes lng pag sa traffic.

Ako parehas lang basta trapik ngawet.. kasi pag AT babad naman paa mo sa brake lalo na pag crawling traffic.. pag manual babad naman paa sa clutch..

Mas nakakangawet sa crawling traffic ang gas engine kasi need mo pa mag timpla sa gas.. unlike pag diesel bibitaw ka lang ng konting clutch uusad na

electric car. 1-speed tranny. no clutch. 1-pedal driving i.e. press to accelerate, let go to engage variable regenerative braking, you almost don't have to touch the brake pedal

i can't wait to buy an electric car

I guess we should also be specific with respect to the type of AT: conventional (planetary-gear) or CVT (belt-driven). For me:

Conventional AT - #1
CVT - #2 (leave at D and brake hold)

Baliktad naman sa akin. Yung sa 4AT I can just hold the brake if less than 60s, though madalas din na pag more than 30s neutral na, same as with the CVT. My thinking is that yung 4AT is fluid based while yung sa CVT eh pulley and belt driven so comparatively mas may friction siya.

May I ask. Merong mga nagsasabi na after 5 years daw for A/T magiging sirain daw ito at magsisimulang magbigay ng sakit ng ulo compare sa M/T. how true?

My 4AT is 15 years already running at 140,000kms. Wala namang problema sa transmission kahit once lang yata ako nakapagpalit ng transmission fluid. So basically yung fluid pa lang naging gastos ko sa transmission, whereas kung sa MT in that period maaring nakailang palit ka na ng clutch disk/plate depende how much of a clutch driver you are.

it is how you use or abuse it.
my 2005 5MT is at over 120K km already. it is still the original that came with the car from the factory.
my 2003 4AT is over 100K km, and still shifts fine.

Personally, budget lang nakikitang kong reason why anyone would choose Manual.
(or kung bahain yung place nyo)

Way back in college...

I had a 1.6 Lancer MT, GF had 1.5 Lancer AT (1998 & 1999 models)

Just for fun, we went to a nice road sa north to drag race...

AT car was faster and noticeable yung pag iwan nya sa akin everytime I shift gears.

yes... don't hahaha

I read somewhere that on a normal stock car, great drivers will loose a quarter sec to step on the clutch and shift gear.

If you're racing a quarter mile and use 4 gears, you loose .75 sec just by using a manual. (granting you launch the car properly)

Not for me. I chose a manual because I am used to it and I find it more fun to drive (shifting gears)

It wouldn't be fun if the car you're driving is not quick or worse, slow to respond.

I would consider an MT car for a weekend toy car of sorts - like a Civic SiR or Civic FD 2.0L or Focus TDCi 2.0L MT or better yet, a WRX or Evolution.
