[Merged:] M/T (Manual) vs A/T (Automatic) Transmission

[totoybato]

Not directed to anyone in particular.

Sometimes the people who says that mabagal ang A/T, are the ones who just don't know how to use them right.

Specially with todays electronically controlled A/T, grade logic A/T, self learning A/T.

By the way the Grade Logic ones <---- they do really know when to hold and when to down and up shift. You should try one.

Probably yung mga old tech ones yung mga 70's yun mabagal talaga mag respond.

I agree , yung mga bagong AT mabibilis na mag respond, like dito sa mga korean cars, Hyundai in particular, yung H-Matic. pag oovertake o slowdown bigla, pasok mo lang sa sports mode para ka ding naka manual transmission without the clutch . Pero tutuo nga, mas malakas lang ng kaunti sa gas consumption ang naka AT.

One has to get used to driving an automatic transmission to maximize it's capability. A manual transmission will have more power and save more fuel but the point of having an automatic transmission is convenience, it goes along with airconditioning and power steering. If one really wants to save fuel then do not use air conditioner and have your power steering removed.

Hi guys!
newbie here.
just got across this fun site 2 days ago.

i drive an invecs2 lancer.
i rarely use the semi-manual/auto gear (katamaran).
my question is, would i be saving more gas using it than driving fully auto?

nope. Just put in the D and overdrive on. To maximize milage, just keep a light foot on the gas pedal.

very responsive na mga new a/t's today. sarap talaga mag drive sa a/t. yung patrol ko na nga lang ang m/t dito kaya ayaw kong i-drive masyado yung previa, baka masanay ako at tamarin sa m/t

[jackndabox29]

For me M/T pa rin although i drive an automatic. My observation lng is they are almost the same in acceleration basta ung car in motion na, pero kung galing from a stand still position malaki talaga advantage ng M/T.

Also i think that A/T uses more gas because its idle is around 1000rpm minimum unlike M/T which is ok at around 700rpm.

i might disagree on this, mas mabilis ang arangkada ng A/T kesa M/T. pero mas lamang naman ang M/T when overtaking.

Also i think that A/T uses more gas because its idle is around 1000rpm minimum unlike M/T which is ok at around 700rpm.

A/Ts idle is at 900rpm when aircon is ON. 800 if off.

If only there were locally available A/T versions of GEN II 4d56 Pajeros...

But there were none, so tiyaga na muna with the manual.

[pepengtom]

kahit ano sabihin niyo, manual pa den ako. sanayan lang yan.
mas enjoy ako sa manual maski laging traffic sa manila.
nababagalan ako sa a/t. tas lagi ko pa naiisip ung gas consumption ng a/t.
tas parang scooter lang ung dinadrive mo, gas pedal and brake na lang.
nakakaboring for me. siguro pag nagkapamilya na lang ako.
sa m/t nakaka abot ako ng 14km/li
laking tipid din saken nun. estudyante pa naman ako. wala namana ko trabaho para magpagas ng magpagas.
so m/t is my vote.

[A121]

gusto ko ng sportronic! i would love to drive one... everyday

but after seeing drift bible... manual pa rin :D

[butchokuy]

guys,

OT lang po. pag nag-drive ka ba ng A/T kailangan ang license mo e me A/T Restrictions din (4 ata yun). 2 - is for M/T 4500 kgs or less.


many thanks,

~noelt.

not necessary m/t lang un...sabi dun sa likod ng licence card ko din ay

"vehicles less than 4500kgs" so it means na mapa "m/t" or "a/t" ok ka........

[pepengtom]

m/t pag gusto hataw palage.
a/t pag tamad magdrive.

[gorbeh]

sa AT na revo namin, ok din humataw. kaso lang takaw talaga sa gas. mabagal din ang response pag downshifting when overtaking pero pag hatawan na, may konting security na hindi mag-redline.

[pepengtom]

ung nga lang... secured ka talagang hindi aabot sa redline.

[jiggs84]

tanong lang.. im not familiar with your jargon..

ano yung "redline"... thanks po...

[ghosthunter]

the "redline" is the engine's maximum safe RPM point. Its the limit how fast you can run the engine. If you exceed that point, the engine will start to break parts. Manufacturers have made safety systems into modern engines to prevent you from exceeding that limit.

[1997]

Sa amin yung Honda umaabot malapit na sa redline pag hinataw... May problem kaya yun?

[scarab]

...i like 'em both but im keeping my m/t. that's my only form of workout right now, la nako exercise eh. :threadmil
