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

[Dr.Kamiya]

Sweet, but that's not a win for the single-speed transmission but for the electric powertrain overall.

Just sharing... I never imagined this day would come in my lifetime (sa PHL)...

Went our for lunch with 3 new employees... used the extra car which was MT...

Guard went to our table as car needs to be moved (may aalis)

Nag-uunahan yung 3 to present themselves to do it for me. Gave it the keys to one of the guys, then bumalik sya sa table after less than 5 minutes...

"Sir, manual pala yung car mo, di ako marunong"
Then the other 2 also told me, "sorry Sir, AT lang po kami natuto mag drive"

While moving the car, naisip ko lang na wow... 20 somethings who can no longer drive MT cars...

Soon, mutants will be born with right foot only.[emoji13]

Anti theft. Hehe
It is a dying skill. Soon those who mastered MT will become legends.

for those driving the a/t wigo, what's the lowest gear option of the car?

i'm not familiar w/ the vehicle and a lady friend is asking me about it. she's a rookie driver and she's asking for tips for inclined driving.

i'm not sure what you're asking for, but you can lock it for "2" and for "3", or go full 4.

"D" will let the car go from 1st gear to 4th gear.
"3" will let the car go from 1st gear to 3rd gear (ie. D3 on Hondas). Can be used on extended uphill drives to prevent gear hunting
"2" likely means it is locked on 2nd gear. It's typically used in cold climates to help prevent wheel-spin on snow

3 and 2 can also be used if you need engine braking on long downhill drives

ah so "2" is the lowest gear in the wigo for driving on steep roads .

all our a/t vehicles are tiptronic now so they don't have the "2" or "3" gear options. and like i said, i haven't driven nor ridden shotgun in a wigo yet so i don't really know its gear lay outs.

i remember our old gd jazz had an "L" gear even though it was already equipped w/ a "manumatic" feature.

thanks for clarifying bros!

I wouldn't put it like that. Rather, "2" is the lowest selectable or lockable gear. The lowest gear is still technically 1st gear, which is available in "D" and "3" modes, but it operates in full-auto and hence, you can't lock it on 1st gear.

from what i understand, "2" means car gear will be either 1 or 2 only. on "3", the choices of the car will be 1, 2, or 3. on D4, it will be full-range 4 speed.
once, i absent-mindedly left it on "2", and i was wondering why napaka-bagal ko sa daan, kahit tinatapakan ko naman ang silinyador...

but the car seems intelligent naman.
going up our steep parking ramp, with the stick on full D4, the gear is still on 1, even as the rpm is beyond the shifting point. i can feel when it shifts, kasi.
