    Straight Conventional Automatic?

    Gate Type?

    Manumactic?

    Performance and Cost.

    Ive tried all three (manumatic just a few kilometers lang)


    I think Gate type are the best hehehehe

    It's difficult to compare, as not all gearboxes are created equal. I've driven straight-gates that were terrible, I've driven straight-gates that were good. I've driven manumatics that were sluggish and manumatics that were awesomely responsive (new Civic).

    I prefer the Gate-Type over the straight type, but nothing beats the Manumatic for ease of use.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Gated tiptronic. The straight version seems prone to mis-shift such as shifting accidentally to R or P while running (that'll probably destroy your gearbox).

    Di ba mas prone ang gate type sa mis-shifts since you won't have to press any button to move the shifter?

    ^ but it wont change gears unless you let it pass through the gated part of the shifter.

    eto, evolution X cockpit...




    More big news comes from the availability of a six-speed, dual-clutch transmission like Volkswagen's DSG unit. Shift paddles are mounted on the steering wheel, while a switch on the console delivers three different shift modes.

Whats the best Automatic Stick?
