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

**boy_tino** · April 14th, 2009 12:05 AM

dahil sa tindi ng traffic dito sa metro manila kahit mag alternative route ka pa mas maganda pa rin ang AT kesa sa MT.

MT maganda yan kapag medyo moderate ang flow ng traffic

i think, after everything has been said, it's still a matter of personal choice. one thing, though, that a/t will never let you do, is to run your battery to death. because you can't push-start an a/t. and i love gambling with my battery. hehe.

Sedan - Manual
SUV - Automatic

I love M/Ts. I can never ever trade the excitement that I get when driving an M/T.

Nowadays, we have battery packs that hook up to cigarette lighters in case of a dead battery.

True. No manual tranny can shift as fast as dual clutch trannies. Add to that gear ratios that are close to or even closer than manuals and manual trannies will soon be a thing of the past. Same as manual doorlocks, manual windows, etc. Even formula 1 uses multiple clutch auto mechanisms.

Isang advantage nga lang ng stick shifts, pantay ang muscles ng left and right legs mo.

Pero kidding aside, iba nga yung enjoyment na nakukuha sa manual shifting.

Matic for me, I even had my old MB converted to Automatic. Driving a Manual has become unbearable with the present traffic situation in the Metro.

Nice to know dami ngshashare ng ideas dito, that's the spirit mga repa! i had my car traded in to a new one. i stuck to M/T pa rin. hehe. i'm open to ideas having A/T though.

Very informative... keep it coming mga repa!

kung anu-anong sites at forum ako naghahanap at nagreregister meron pala dito thread na ganito (A/T vs M/T) at 3 years na. hirap lang magback-track lalo na kung nasa 1200+ na ang mga posts
emarqz, natawa ako sa post mo, naalala ko rin bigla ang kakilala ko... at yung isang pinsan ko ko na amboy.

for me, I also prefer yung M/T.

sa buhay, di lang naman dapat AT alam mo i-drive, dapat alam mo lahat i drive.. kasi pag emergency arises, e either MT or AT lang alam mo at nagkataong di available ung tranny na alam mo....magsisi ka..

ako, i pefer MT..a fast MT..pero ngayon, puros AT na halos lahat..and MT's are restricted to base models

SANA MAY MT DIN SA HIGH END MODELS! kahit upon request lang...
