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

[scharnhorst]

pag manual na diesel kayang kaya talaga ang clutch driving. hehe.

pero naaappreciate ko na ang A/T pag soooooobra sobrang trapik

[bluerolla]

pwede din pala ako mag full release ng clutch at 1k rpm at 1st gear in traffic. its like gliding on idle. tried this just earlier tonight and ok naman. di din masyado nanginginig.

kayang kaya ng altis natin yan bro

been doing that since I got my altis. especially kung stop and go yung traffic. parang matic na naka D mode lang

kasi dun sa big body ko dati eh parang hirap. lakas ng nginig...

I assume same thing with Reverse, or do I need to still partially apply the clutch on Reverse?

safer kung naglalaro lang sa clutch pag reverse. mas malakas kasi ang hatak ng reverse over-all against sa 1st gear. in my experience

at 1st gear, i can fully release the clutch with slight on the gas pedal at 1.2-1.5 rpm. lalo pag continuous but slow moving traffic. kahit di pa umaangat yung needle ng speedometer.

*tidus & aejhay: yeah, you can fully release the clutch I am doing that but it depends on the type of your car.

Totoo naman na ang kotseng naka-manual ay nakakareduce the risk of texting while driving.

Agree ba kayo na we need to "save the manuals?"

not really true. it doesn't matter if a car is manual or automatic. if the driver wants to read or send a text message, he'll find a way.

Hey, back in high school, I had classmates and friends who could eat breakfast, have coffee, change into their school uniform, and use the cellphone... all while driving a manual transmission car.

Hi mga sir, I'm planning to get a car loan this November, 1st car & 1st time driver. Balak kong mag-enroll sa driving school sa end of OCT 2010 or early NOV 2010 na para malapit sa pagbili.

Balak ko kasi A/T car, pero sabi ng mga kasama ko sa work ay dapat daw M/T ang aralin ko. Given nga daw na 1st time driver ako, dapat nga daw M/T muna ako at tsaka na lang ako mag A/T. Any advise on this?

Also, A/T dahil gagawin ko itong pamasok sa work everyday nang balikan from Marikina to Makati at dahil traffic lagi sa either C5 or EDSA. Sabi naman nila mas tipid daw sa gas pag M/T kaysa A/T. Nasa 17km ang taxi meter pag EDSA ang daan at nasa 20km pag C5 naman pag umuuwi ako sa gabi.

Thanks in advance for your inputs!

IMHO, get an A/T. The convenience of driving through rush-hour-bumper-to-bumper traffic using a car with A/T will compensate for the savings you'll get from using a M/T.

Konti lang po ang difference ng FC ng M/T and A/T

[uls]

get an AT

old thinking na yung kailangan matuto muna mag MT before mag AT

[roberto_minosa]

A friend of mine took driving lessons with a car with M/T; then she bought a car with A/T. No problems encountered.

[fourtheboys96]

I suggest you learn to drive a M/T even if your are going to buy an A/T car.

Just in case you really really have to drive a M/T, you'll have no problem.

M/T to A/T is much much easier than A/T to M/T.

[spidey]

Thanks po sa mga inputs niyo , I'll learn M/T but will get an A/T. I've been wanting to get a Lancer EX 2.0 GLS pero nung dumating yung Cruze 1.8 LS at nakita ko sa Trinoma at Gateway, medyo napapaisip ako.

Tingnan ko na lang yung yung ibang threads kung alin ang mas matipid sa gas. Thanks again and good day!

m/t vs a/t?

my next sports car should be a/t, pagod na ako sa m/t

[gr3nd3l]

ako naman nag driving lesson using M/T pero A/T ang binili kong kotse ang hassle kasi pag m/t minamaneho bilis ko mangalay

[tc327]

A/T cars nowadays is really very convinient to use and with sportronic tranny you can do manual w/out clutch pedal to push

[aijie28]

M/T parin for drifting.pero pag trabaho A/T lalo na sa pinas nakakapagod laging traffic

[shadow3616931]

A/T na darating araw phase out na M/T syempre pa hi-tech n pa hi -tech mga cars parang cellphone may car nga na auto park na. Me my next cars will all be A/T

BTW yung friend ko nag start ng A/T then bumili car na M/T sandali lang nya napag aralan 1 day lang marunong na mag M/T. Ngayon A/T na uli sya

"Sportronic" trannies (dual clutch trannies not included) are just manually shifted A/Ts and still do not have the same performance of true M/Ts.

But as a compromise between A/T and M/T in a single car, it can be satisfactory (but not all the time).

true, i've driven a lot of modern sportronic trannies, evoX mr, gt-r and c63 amg are the closest to an actual m/t when it comes to shifting, almost no lag when you shift manually, but they're still not as good as an m/t tranny.

[crossdx]

Manual will always be more pure for a sports car, but times sure are changing. With most of the high tech double-clutch technology in new sports cars from Merc, Beemer, Porsche, Ferrari, etc., the "automatic" trannys actually get faster acceleration/lap times than the respective manual transmission variants available. I put quotes on "automatic" because in the case of some like BMW's SMG and M DCT transmission it's not really considered an automatic per se (wiki it, I was confused too initially).
