Which is better: Manual or Automatic transmission? This debate has been present for the last seven decades. Manual and automatic transmissions are completely different technologies, which use different configurations and principles. One is based on a simple gear pair, while the other is based on a planetary gear set. One uses a torque convertor, while the other uses a clutch pack. We will do a logical comparison of these technologies in this video.

to make it easier to understand, u gotta start with bicycles.. if u see a mountain bike or racer (those with several gears) then that is the same concept... smallest sprocket on pedal+largest sprocket on rear wheel=1st gear... larger sprocket on pedal+smaller on rear wheel=higher gears.. u notice when bikers try to climb uphill they mostly use 1st gear, although it takes a lot of pedaling to move the rear wheel to one rotation, it is still bearable same concept with cars... 1st gear is the slowest just like uphill on bike with low gear BUT its got power..but when u go faster u should use higher gears because at that point, inertia is your friend, and u dont waste your engine power

As long I live in a region that gets snow, I will own a vehicle that has a manual transmission. There have been many times when I would have been hopelessly stuck if I had been driving an automatic. I was able to use the clutch and gas to "rock" the car out of a stuck spot. That probably shortens the life of the clutch, but it is better than being stuck in a snowstorm for hours or days.

The author should apply a link to the planetary transmission setup explanation video. Also heavy loads are using automatic transmissions since there is not much place for human error. Especially computer-controlled automatic ones. I mean relatively heavy like for example a tank transmission. Another example can be a system in the "semi-trailer" truck. It is true you can put more on smaller manual transmission but in this case, you have to rely more on the operator skills. Also, a heavy-duty manual transmission becomes rough to operate if the applied load is raised very high while the system weight, placement, and size limitations occur. It's more due to the simplified clutch than the transmission box itself. What's most important is the system's live-cycle overall cost. It's sometimes even more important than the physics ;)

The smoothness of the manual transmission is something that you learn with practice, so that can be a bit misleading information. In the other hand, it is recommended to have the engine engaged during breaking all the way before it starts to stall. By leaving the engine engaged you let your engine help you slow the vehicle down, saving a bit on breaks. I will also like to add that driving on downhills manual also helps to avoid the vehicle gaining too much speed, thus also not depending merely on break pads. Just saying…

I'd prefer manual if I wanted to drive for fun, and an automatic if I wanted to drive without thinking too much. I think in the long run cruise control w/ an automatic transmission has been shown to actually have the best fuel economy, at least if you are on a highway and don't have to brake frequently or speed up of course. I just can't imagine spending 8 hours on a roadtrip with a manual transmission, but I guess thats why SUVs don't really have manuals.

6:39 "Before you press the brake pedal, you have to press the clutch pedal" So wrong.. You should brake with the engine engaged until you almost reach idle rpm's, then press the clutch and brake further. That way you both save the brakes as well as the car's computer knows you're braking on the engine so it won't inject fuel = better milage and lower emissions.

@johannkuhn5685
@johannkuhn5685 7 років тому
When you drive manual you quickly get used to disengaging the clutch at the right time for the current gear. Also, this is not directed at these two comments, but the video also said that a manual is never smooth. Which is also wrong, you can achieve a smooth shift. EDIT - It can be smoother than any auto I've driven so far.

@kuhluhOG

If you care about your transmission, you shouldn't release the clutch pedal too fast. As the video explained, the Synchronizer Ring is matching the speeds, but if you release too fast, it doesn't have the time to actually do its work and as such tear a lot more. And well, repairing a transmission is pretty costly.

An electric car dont need to shift gears as the 3 phase VFD controlled motor in modern electric cars operate between 0 to 7-8000 rpm with no problem while an internal combustion engine works best between 800 - 3000 rpm, hence the need for many gears to keep the engine in that speed range. Also the tourque is at max at a certain rpm for a combustion engine unlike the electric motor wich have 100 % torque from 0 rpm through its entire speed range.

@fischer9001 7 років тому
Most hybrid and electric cars use a CVT (continuously variable transmission). Which basically means that you don't have SET gear ratios. What happens is that the gear ratio gradually changes as you go faster, so as you accelerate lightly, the RPMS will stay somewhat in one place. If you Floor the gas pedal, the transmission will hold onto a lower gear ratio for longer to get that better acceleration. The simplest explanation I can give you is this: Picture a large cone shaped object, then picture a belt riding on that cone and attached to the transmission output. The gear ratios change by sliding that belt back and forth on that cone. It's like a bicycle, the bigger gears on the crank will give you higher ratios, and when the chain gets put on a smaller gear, the gear ratio becomes lower. The only fundamental difference between that and a CVT is that the CONE shape allows the belt (or chain) to slide up and down gradually, changing the ratio. Hope that answers your question!
@traviscapehart7590
@traviscapehart7590 7 років тому
Shadow Heart the answer would be no, most electric cars have direct drive, wich means no gears, no shifting. this is because an electric motor is not limited to a specific range of rpm like gas engines. they are much simpler with far less moving parts. they can deliver power to the wheels over a much wider range of motor speeds.

Very good video, I believe another reason that Manual cars are seen as more fuel efficient is that the driver can anticipate the engine performance needs and shift accordingly. This keeps the car in a more ideal "rev range". This is most noticeable during hill driving and cornering. It is also why I am thankful my car has triptonic transmission. (It's an automatic gearbox, but I can "manually" shift up and down as needed).

Never disengage the clutch unless you're ready to stop completely. When you want to go slower, just go to a lower gear. Also on downhills, it's better to be in gear and using the brake to have almost no fuel consumption.

Something not mentioned - automatic has a noticable and significant lag in it. In a manual, when you step on the throttle, since you are mechanically connected to the transmission, power delivery is instant. In an auto, it takes a small bit of time for the torque converter to begin pushing the transmission forward. Then, if there is any shifting occuring, there is a significant lag before full acceleration. Manuals, assuming you know how to properly drive one, acceleration is again, nearly instantaneous.
@Nero_PR

Yes. And there are chipsets that can speed up this process. I have one installed on my Chevrolet S-10 2018 and the difference is noticeable when you need power to overtake someone in the road or for going from a stationary position to instantly high acceleration. I would say is a must have for safety purposes since your car becomes much more responsive when needed.

Two ways to resolve this (I've tried both, they work): 1) use so-called SPORT mode, it forces AT to shift down when you slam that pedal and has a significantly less reaction time compared to regular AT mode; 2) modern AT have a kick-down, which activates when you push the accelerator down to the floor and then some (you'll feel the bump when you press it enough), that'll force AT to give maximum power at the current gear, but be careful not to overrev the engine. There's also a third way, which is manual shifting, but I haven't tried this on the road yet, so can't recommend.

Manual transmission has a noticeable engine braking. This way you brake with both the brakes and the engine at once.

Cláudio Sampaio I recommend starting with Wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_transmission and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_transmission The fluid coupling, also used in this video, is a part of many automatic transmission systems. Contrary to a clutch, it will always exhibit some level of slip and cannot completely "disconnect" the transmission from the engine either. Buses usually have a torque converter, which needs even more power to run but offers smoothness over efficiency, making diesel run busses accelerate equally like electric trolley buses. There are other transmission designs like the two clutch DSG automatic transmission which does not have a fluid coupling or torque converter, but even this type has its flaws (like when you decide to change from acceleration to braking or from motor braking to acceleration at the time of the transmission changing gears. Even this description is oversimplified.

I agree with a couple of commenters below that the video should not say a manual Xmission isn't as smooth as an auto. I consider it a skill to provide a driving experience where not only is the shifting with a 5 speed smooth, it's actually smoother than an automatic, with which you can feel the gear changes, subtle as they may be. I've had people go on an entire trip and finally asked if I was using a clutch! (Some people think the shifter can be used to change gears on an automatic). Indeed, with a powerful car like a Corvette with an automatic where the pedal is floored, you can really FEEL the gear shifts. Finally, I've always used downshifting to slow the car, automatic or manual, which easily boosts brake life to 90,000+ miles.

You DO NOT have to press the clutch every time you want to brake in a manual car. You only press the clutch when you are going to stop completely (in speeds lower than ~20km). Furthermore, by applying the clutch before braking , it gets a little bit harder to stop the car since the car gets a little bit of extra speed! (because of the disengagement) - This video is only one of many videos created by 'professionals' which makes the mistake of 'always' pressing the clutch before applying the brake. I think this happens since they do not actually drive manual cars. Or, maybe this have been a claim of automatic gearbox manufacturers at the introduction of automatic gearboxes! Who knows?! :)) I personally prefer automatic gearboxes with the ability to change gears manually (tiptronic). Automatic gearbox is the best for city traffic (especially in cities built on hills), while the manual gearbox is the best option for enjoying driving in roads and rally.

You guys have to learn the working principles of planetary gears. Basically a planetary gear have 4 components, the sun gear (in the middle of everything) the ring gear (surrounding the planet gears) the planet gears (small 3 gears) and the carrier (connecting the 3 planetary gears) they're always in mesh, and by stopping one or two of these gears you get gear reduction, in which the speed in the output is different than the speed in the input, so you can get underdrive (speed is slower in the output), direct drive (output speed equals input speed) and overdrive (output speed is faster than input speed) that way you also multiply torque to get the car moving, that's why it's a lot easier to start in 1st gear than in 2nd gear, because torque is twice as strong (depending on ever gearbox and the gear reduction for the 1st gear of "X" gearbox)

anos -v transmissions are very complicated, you can't get a complete grasp on them in an 8 minute video. in the tech school I went to in the navy, we learned several months worth of material on just transmissions in about a week and a half. of course due to costs and budgets, teaching us at the normal rate of a civilian school would cost to much and take too long. what I'm saying is that no matter how much they try to simplify transmissions, there is far too much to take in to grasp the complete concept of how these amazing mechanical wonders operate. and these aren't even complicated transmissions. the big ones that operate earth movers and semi tractor trucks are where it really blows your mind.

In the automatic you may have a smoother experience in shifting gears, but less control. Try slowing down the vehicle by simply removing your foot of the accelerator. In an automatic, you may obtain the same speed as you did before, which means the brake pedal will have to be applied. In an manual transmission, the engine does the work in slowing the car when the accelerator is released, thus saving the use of brakes. To slow down faster, shift down to a lower gear. You may try this in an automatic, but some automatics will only shift down when the engine is at a certain RPM, so brake will have to be applied anyway. This is why manual transmission is better than automatic.

One time I went with my sister (in her car with an automatic transmission) to visit relatives in another state. When it was my turn to drive on the interstate, a car swerved in front of us from another lane. Out of habit, I let off the gas pedal to slow down, which of course didn't work. I think we got to about three inches behind the other car and my sister was freaking.

The basic idea is that a planetary gear allows a reduction in speed. Many of the original automatics were 2-speed. The planetary allowed the inside to spin for first gear, then went to the one-to-one when the planetary locks in. If you watch the video carefully, you can see how the central gear spins (and everything spins slowly around it) when the planetary is unlocked. The other thing that isn't shown well is that the output shaft is locked to the outside of the planetary assembly.

brake not break. apart from that, i agree, press if braking in order to stop not to slow down. otherwise you loose inertial engine brake and you will end overheating the brakes. but on today cars, electronics are core part of car functions and instructors suggest to push the clutch in hard brakings to avoid the engine to shut off and consequently cut off electronics (like abs steering assist etc..) .
@aunbomb
@aunbomb 4 роки тому
He didn't say you HAVE to press in the clutch in order to brake, it was more of a recommendation, I just think he worded it wrong, I think his point was you should press in your clutch so your engine doesn't suddenly feel the pressure of braking to a complete stop, you could just press in the clutch to separate your engine from the wheels, then brake.

"In manual transmission driving, BEFORE you press brake pedal, the clutch pedal must be pressed completely". That is what is said. There are people who do this and usually place the gear shift in neutral. This is WRONG! When braking, you can keep the car in top gear all the way to almost being stopped before you step on the clutch (before the engine stammers) OR downshift one, or more gears as you decelerate. When you are at a complete stop then you can place the shifter in neutral and let out the clutch pedal (relax your leg) The video describes driving a stick like an old woman.

@silverwatchdog
@silverwatchdog Рік тому
Depends on the price of the car too and also the age of the manual car also matters. I have never been in a manual car that had smooth transmission. You always know when the driver changes the gears because you slow down a little bit no matter how good they are. In an automatic this doesn't happen. Sure in old entry level automatics it was pretty rough but in any car that isnt a complete entry level car it's definitely smoother. But if you want the best of both worlds there are semi automatics which a lot of higher end SUVs and sedans have and you have full control of the gears with no clutch.
