Well that and they're quite garbage compared to today's automatic and other transmission. The only thing I can thing of that is worst than manual is a CVT. Which sucks. I rememeber back when this wasn't true at all. And autos couldn't compare to acceleration and gas miles. Now it's backwards. Which is why it's rare. Why make or buy something outdated that makes the car objectively worse
@@ReformedThe in developing countries like India, Pakistan, Indonesia the automatic cars are still out of the grasp of the normal crowd. They cost much more as compared to a manual transmission as well as are difficult to repair due to the road as well as traffic conditions in these countries where the clutch plate needs to be repaired continuously. Also it's more of a tradition these days, as people still feel more comfortable with the controls in there hand with a more manual touch. So you can say it's a choice with a money factor behind it.
I know MT is the most popular choice for most drivers in the world. I have driven MT and AT, I must say the satisfaction of changing a MT gear is Unparalleled but the comfort of AT in a city driving situation is also Unparalleled.
Manual in city driving isn't bad unless it's gridlock traffic . I would say the main advantage with automatic vs manual is better mpg and easier to use
Been around for 42 years now, and this is the first time I've seen of or heard of a iMT. I'm over here with full dog head tilt learning about it. Never stop learning I guess.
In theory, CVTs have the potential to utterly outperform every other transmission. In practice, they are used as cheapskate fuel saving devices that are built WAY too flimsily for their given applications for road cars. CVT's don't need to be weak and unreliable, heavy machinery has been using them for a long time reliably because they didn't under engineer them.
The first cvt trans were so good they got banned in most of motorsport, thus nobody invested into them, thus why there shit right now. you can thank the FIA for that.
Well if the belt wouldn't slipping with more than 250hp input power, then every car manufacturer will use them, too bad that CVT cannot even used on a diesel engine due to high torque input curve within lower RPMs.
I drove in a CVT once, and well it was the smoothest drive of my life. It's not suited for everyone, but if you only say in areas where roads are adequate and don't need too much performance from your vehicle (urban driving), it's life changing.
On the contrary, CVTs are actually ideal for performance because they're always in the most efficient RPM. Efficient doesn't always mean "fuel saving". It can also mean maximum performance possible from the engine. When you're flooring it in a CVT, it stays near redline all the way to its top speed, until you let off the throttle. And as you know, most engines put out their maximum power close to redline. I used to drive a Ford C-Max Hybrid with an eCVT; it only had 200 HP but it could still take off from a standstill faster than my manual 300 HP Genesis Coupe can. Simply because the Genesis has to work it's way up to its maximum power potential, while the C-Max could put its power down instantly. Obviously the Genesis would win in a drag race, but the Hybrid would take off faster and hold the lead for the first few seconds of the race.
In my country (especially in rural area), its easier to meet manual car compare to automatic car.. But for motorcycle, its easier to meet automatic motorcycle/motoped/scooter compare to manual motorcycle...
Koenigsegg: “Yeah, gears are nice and all, but what if we just… ignored that part…” Everyone: “What? Are you going to just attach the engine to a torque converter?!?” Koenigsegg: “Perhaps…”
Indeed, there are only two kinds of transmissions, automatic and manual. If it requires you to disengage the clutch yourself, it’s a manual. If you don’t have to disengage the clutch yourself, it’s automatic. It’s that simple.
@@rogueinvestor2375 no, it's not that simple. Automatic transmissions are a type of transmission. A CVT is not an automatic transmission because it's not switching gears for you as there is no gears in a CVT. A Dual Clutch Transmission may have gears, but it does not work the same way an automatic transmission does.
I'm one of those people that enjoy the interaction between man and machine that a manual offers. They can be tiring in stop and go traffic. Most of the time they are a lot of fun, especially on a winding country road.
ngl it becomes second nature to use manual if you mastered it and i dont think at all that its annoying in stop and go traffic. if you do it right, its almost as convenient as an automatic cause you can go into neutral, disengage clutch and if needed just hold the breaks thats it.
In my opinion Manual transmission is the King of all transmissions. you are in full control of your car at any circumstance. you control the vehicle the way wish. Best part of MT is Engine Breaking and Driver has the option to play around and have fun.
I have a toyota etios with AT, if i want engine braking (i often do) i just shift it from "D" to "L" and it goes to the lowest gear possible, providing me a lot of braking
As someone who lives and will die driving manual, I don't think I could get into using a shifter without a clutch pedal. I would freak out at the thought of gear grinding.
Switching between my 6 speed Tacoma and my auto dodge dual lay, I always reach for my shift knob even knowing that I don’t have it. It’s a weird transition for sure
I started out driving 4-speed and a 5-speed transmissions in the U.S. Army in 1975. About a decade after I got out it was 8-, 9-, Performance 9-, 10-, Super 10- and 13-speed transmissions for close to 30 years. My favorite was the Super 10. I've also pulled single axle and multi axle trailers weighing as much as 80,000 pounds overall. You don't get to moving fast that heavy and it takes twice as long or longer to stop as a car does. A little something to think about the time you want to cut off a big truck... I've also driven automated transmissions and they made me appreciate a regular manual all the more. The narrator didn't cover synchronized transmissions and asynchronous transmission differences.
After driving manual transmission for nearly 30yrs, now I have switched over to Hyundai venue DCT(dry clutches) for the last 2 years. The experience is awesome, no more leg pain n strain and the shifting is so smooth that you won't feel even a slight jerk.
@@joyngamkhumlo2520 I am just 18 yo. But I have been learning to drive manual since I was 12. I don't feel any jerks since I was 14. So high five man. Manuals are for real men.
Sir you have got 30 years of driving experience on manual car, and i think you still got a slight jerk till now, when you move your manual car....i mean in your comment you said that, you won't feel even a slight jerk, by driving DCT ( dry clutch )...but i own three manuals cars, and i don't feel a slight jerk, when i move my car or when i changed the gears, how about that ? Huh,, i think you need to learn proper driving.
Manual transmissions being harder to operate is a massive advantage as it lowers the number of ignorant drivers. Same when you're saying it requires more effort during driving, it's actually an advantage, as it prevents drivers from falling asleep.
I don't get people who say manual is hard to learn. It is quite simple, press clutch to the end, put in gear, then release clutch while pushing gas pedal. The only thing that needs practice is synching clutch and gas pedal
@@MotivationSHCUM what he means is it makes the karens who look at their phones while driving think twice about driving in the first place. its a deterrent
none of these are based in reality lol, it can cause accidents though unskilled use also because moving a little lever around is not an indicator of driving skill nor does it stop you from falling asleep - like at all - the number of times I've had to constantly talk to someone that was falling asleep while driving a manual is quite large (rarely got bad enough to trade out)
There's a racetrack where you can rent out supercars for a time that are all in manual transmissions and while I did understand the basic concepts of those transmission types, this video really helped me understand the differences of each type and I hope to get out on that track someday! :D Edit: here's what I was looking for: semi-automatic transmissions! I finally understand what they are and what they do!
I have a mk6 gti with a dsg and I have had no problems with the transmission so far. I have 75k miles on it atm and it seems to be bulletproof tbh. I’m guessing you also have a vw since you said it was a dsg what problems have you had and what model and year?
I have a 7.5 Golf R wth the dsg transmission love that car wth that transmission it's a rocket just gotta make sure u service the transmission every 40k
@@Ysrski i drive a VW Scirocco with the 2.0 liter tsi engine and 200 hp from 2008. i already have 197.000 km's on it. it started a while ago to knock the gears in and out, specially from 2 to 3rd. thats an indicator of an entire transmission rebuild. other than that the transmission worked flawlessly all that time

You guys are doing a really great job,you should keep on making content that discusses extensively everything related to automobiles. Absolutely love it.
Are you kidding? Have you read the comments? There are dozens of innacuracies in this video! Like DCT/DSG only being available in high end racing cars. I have it in my low cost VW 1.0 engined city car!
I heard that some CVT's "simulate" the feeling of gear shifting cause car owners that don't know how CVT's work think the transmission is not working cause "they don't feel it shift gear" like duh, that's the purpose of CVT's smooth rides with no "gear shift feeling", like bruh
I have a corolla hatch that does this, the simulated gears while driving in D are pretty much not felt at all, you just watch a drop in revs slightly, but while driving in manuals with the shifter or paddles the gears help it to be a fuckton faster as well as actually feel engaging, its a happy balance tbh. Obviously id still rather have a real AMT but its def better and more fun than the types of cvts in nissans mirages etc
@@senioravocado1864 honestly loath the Xtronic CVT that Nissan uses in the newer lines, takes a while for the pullies to adjust creating a lag time and you still have to deal with the shift shake, like, just give me a manual option.
@@senioravocado1864 The imprezas do that but you can turn on a mode to simulate the shifting. Just wish they would add more power because 130hp isn’t enough.
Another great lesson. These are great things to watch everyday. I’ve always wondered how do automatic transitions down shift so quickly when you slow down
For years already, the VW Polo has a DSG. This is an entry level car. So DCT is not only for Sports cars anymore and DCT has become very reliable experts say.
@@Venakis1 thanks for your response. What kind of repairs? I have an 11 month old daughter and need something reliable. How's the transmission and how many miles is on yours?
@@sb6162 I don't have a VW, I drive a Skoda Octavia with manual gearbox. My son's godfather is a car mechanic and he told me that DSG is a great transmission, very smooth but if your warranty is off and it fails you have to pay a lot of money to replace it. That of course doesn't mean that they always fail. If you are a responsible driver and know your car's correct "routine" (like warming up the engine a little always after a cold start) and you maintain it regularly you may be ok. Besides that, I'd avoid european cars if possible. Japanese cars (Mazda, Toyota, Honda) have much higer reliability.
Manual transmission is probably the best. If for any reason your wheels lose traction, you can put the car into the gear which corresponds to the current speed of the vehicle to reacquire traction even in rainy conditions and take advantage of engine braking to shift the momentum of the vehicle. This makes the transition from accelerating to braking much smoother and helps increase the time between brake pad replacements. You don't ever have to wait for ECUs to realize you wish to overtake and downshift while you have continuous access to max torque. It is more efficient regarding fuel consumption and engine wear while servicing is much cheaper due to the simplicity of the manual system. It is also widely accepted that a simple mechanism will always be more reliable as there are less components liable to fail. It is ideal for keeping the RPM in the most healthy and efficient range and as soon as you learn timing your shifts and performing them quickly, you are rewarded with minimal momentum loss and instant max torque upon upshifting. A turbocharged MT offers a whole different experience compared to an AT one.
if im cruising in 6th gear and need to give it some beans, the AT in my CTS coupe will downshift to 3rd faster and smoother than any non racer can shift manually
eh dubious, they're inexpensive IF you are a perfect driver and don't put additional stress on components like riding the clutch, they are factually worse for fuel consumption for most drivers, if you dont shift right you can cause extra wheel spin in slick road conditions
I am a Canadian, Manuel transmissions are dangerous and useless in snow and winter driving generally. I can't believe this factor is ignored in the states but not in Europe !
DCT: "Currently these gearboxes are found on race cars and high-end sport cars" Suddenly my 2009 Skoda Octavia diesel with 105 hp and a DCT becomes less boring. 🤣
Just highlights how poor this video is. DSG (or DCT as the yanks call it) is in everything from 1.0 city cars to high performance sports cars, here in Europe.
@@DavidR_192 what text to speak channel isn't almost horrible full of misinformation or exaggerations? That is the shitty part. Was hoping this was a legit tuber. Rather have a person speak. Than some bot or whatever they claim to use.
I believe many larger commercial vehicles such as buses and trucks that were built in the 1970s/1980s had IMT/semi-automatic transmission systems which makes sense under the context of them trying to allow drivers pay more attention to the road while also making driving those vehicles less physically exhausting! Pretty much before those sorts of transmissions you had to be extremely fit and strong to be able to operate the manual shifters in those large vehicles! :)
Are you a bot or something? There are many similar 'praising' comments, that sound exactly like this one here. Looks like the CC paid for some positive comments!
Some city buses have great transmissions that change very fast and seamlessly. "Seamless" is an important word here because city buses commonly take standing passengers here. On busy times, the bus may be full to the brim and a low comfort transmission may be extremely unconformable. It causes very hard shaking on gear changes.
Thanks, very clear overview. What I miss is the advantage of automatic transmissions in maneuvers and congestions. Just playing with the brake pedal will be enough.
@@GoldenEDM_2018 Driving a Manual is fun, it's just exciting because I'm in controll of the whole car.. yes there are disadvantages.. Plus it's cheaper to maintain or fix 🤷🏾♂️
I learned with my dads 69 f-100 with 3 on the tree and no power steering. I drove a 68 chevelle with a Powerglide and a neutral lockout.M-22 Rock Crusher is still the meanest trans ive ever heard.
My first time in a CVT was jarring. I only knew automatic and manual, no in between. So when I borrowed a friend's car and I always stayed at one little RPM range while speeding up, I was honestly a little confused! It's weird not feeling gears shifting at all, no gentle backs and forths with the shifts. Just one, continuous drive.
"The headache of operating a clutch" - really! I loved the info though. Found out a lot that I didn't know about. However, I don't feel the content should always be tailored to the lowest common denominator. People who watch this sort of thing love the complexities of driving without a learning curve getting in the way.
This is usually said by people who have never tried anything except manual. After sliding with my ass facing forwards on a winter road i've understood that auto gear shifting gives alot more control, and only bought cars with auto shifting. It's very easy to write "turn your wheels into slide and shift gear to 3rd and hit gas and all of this at the same time", but not very easy to do.
It’s easier on the engine too I assume since you can shift when you want to. My 2000 Ford Focus SE sometimes downshifts and makes my engine redline sometimes and it’s not helpful for the engine since it could damage it.
My Acura ILX has a DCT 8-speed with a conventional torque converter. Really smooths out the low-speed jerkiness you normally have with a DCT, and it makes the gear shifts almost unnoticeable even when you're accelerating hard. It still gets confused sometimes in brisk traffic when it can't decide whether to shift up or down.
I find the DSG from VW is pretty much the best I've used, its a rare moment I trip it up and thats usually during a sudden stop. Either way DCTs are I think the best even if they're a touch heavier
I was come online to search for just this but get distracted by some other videos and then the recommendations did the some 😭 But I decided to quickly sub to this channel cause of their AWD, 4WD... VID AND THE FIRST VID ON THE PAGE WAS THE EXACT THING I WAS LOOKING FOR 💪🏾
When I was learning to drive and ride over 50 years ago our old tractor and bikes only had a manuals and although I’ve driven and ridden vehicles with all sorts of transmissions even today I still enjoy using traditional manuals over anything else.
There is 1 missing The classic Double Clutch Manual Transmission (DCMT) used in cars without any electronic parts except for the light like the russian car Lada Niva where you have to use the clutch twice to shift a gear once to get from a gear into neutral and second time from neutral into another gear
Those function identically to regular manual gearboxes. The difference is there are no synchros to help with the gear changes. That’s why you have to double clutch in most older manuals.
Manual is always the best, just go with it. Its the truth that car companies wont say. More powerful, more control, cheaper maintenance costs, easier maintenance and give a feeling you won't have when you drink an automatic play station car
Actually the smooth transition of manuals depends on the driver. I've been driving manual for 4 years already and I've mastered it and don't have any problems while shifting gears
I'm a firm believer of manual superiority, but I currently drive a Prius, and after driving in San Francisco, I'd rather aliven't than drive in that state with a manual transmission My left leg would look like Lance Armstrong's beefy kicker. Edit: 9:03 actually the prius does have a shift setting to simulate a very steep engine brake, very useful in the areas around Denver.
CVT transmission are the main type used on Medium to large size tractors these days to, they also use a transmission type known as Powershift. And there’s a few different types for truck gearbox’s to like Road Rangers and what not
More required driving manual yes. It becomes second nature after awhile. I was at a point where I could shift gears, up and down shift while, eating, drinking my beverage or texting. Sometimes even 2 of the 3 what I listed. Perfect vehicle to have, because no one asked to borrow my car. Lol
One you forgot(which barely anyone knows about) is the pre-selector gearbox, which is basically a manual but instead of having a clutch, you press a “gear shift” pedal after selecting gears.
95% of all drivers in the UK pass their driving test in a car with manual transmission , if you pass your test in a manual you are clear to drive both manual and automatic but if you pass in a automatic you can only drive an automatic , if you you want to drive a manual you have to take your test again in a manual .
Everyone that has a car must be a full mechanic or partly mechanic. To a extend. For their own good in every way. To save money. To fix car faster. To be road worthy by understanding the car. Stuff like that. Extremely necessary.
It's unfortunate that a good chunk of the drivers out there don't even know what there engine bay looks like. You can sell some people a 4 banger, and tell them it's a V8, and they will believe it.
What other people see in the thumbnail: Types of transmissions: -Manual -Automatic -CVT -IMT -IST What i see: -Manual -Automatic -Automatic -Automatic -Automatic
DCT is now found in many low cost cars. As you rightly said so, if it fails (including worn out clutch plate), it is too expensive to repair. Likely to replace the whole transmission which cost way too much. In the end, best to replace the car. Make no sense to put DCT into everyday low cost cars. Best keep it to sport cars which require fast gear switching.
My dad bought an automatic merc, sometimes when driving it I reach out my hand sometimes to "change the gears" but I always pull back when I realize what I'm driving lol. My dad and me have a game where where we tally up who wanted to change the gears. I thought we would get over this but since we drive that merc so little compared to the other manual cars we slip up sometimes.
AMT/dual-clutch transmission systems are pretty much standard in all modern larger vehicles like buses and trucks but are also standard in certain car models instead of regular automatic transmissions like in the 6th generation Volkswagen Golfs for example! :)
Manual transmissions are fun to use on the track, but are usually a nightmare in city traffic, especially in places with high traffic density, like Lagos.
I live in a big city with terrable traffic bottlenecks. We have bridges that can take anywhere from 3 minutes to 2 hours to cross depending on traffic. Manuals not that bad. Lack of AC on the other hand sucks.
@@fennex7575 I agree, however I'm sure driving a dual clutch paddle shift Koenigsegg Agera R is also very fun. Just because it doesnt come in manual doesnt mean when you drive it you're not 'cool' or 'man enough'. Trust me, I'm sure if anyone had the chance to drive and own one they would.
Even tho I'm just 20 yo, I'm a manual transmission die-hard fan boomer. I just wish some electrics will have manual trans in the future. I cannot describe how much I love driving stick.
@@kevinbelanger4134 no actual gears, but it switches over to fixed ratio mode, and acts like an IMT. This is the reason why the dealer refers to the transmission as a CVT/IVT on the service documentation.
Since many people today do not know how to operate a manual (3 pedal) transmission car, it also means fewer will be able to steal it, even though it lacks preventative measures. Also, a rear mounted transaxle puts more of the car's weight over the rear wheels. To me, those are very desirable features to have, especially considering they are included free of cost. 🙂
But I can break a manual car without pressing the brake pedal.Its a matter of engaging gear number 1or 2. The car can break automaticàlly àfter realising the gas pedal.
@@musasizigodfreydixion6231 you do not understand what we're talking about. Regenerative braking is a feature in mostly electric and hybrid cars which generates energy when you break or when the car is moving without you pressing the accelerator.

@@neonnerd1364 i don't have a problem with manuals, my parents had a garden tractor that had a manual transmission. The problem is that it's annoying as hell to change gear all the time. The only good thing with garden tractors and other machines with manual is that you can set the desired gear straight away. You can't do that with cars or any other vehicles. Manual cars suck, as they're not good off-road. My parents have an off-road car with auto, and it has the best off-road capabilities ever. It even comes with armor plating underneath everything.

But once you do. Damn it's the most beautiful feeling to change it and have control over the beast. Also for off-road there is nothing better than a manual transmission as AT's still work on speed capabilities as compared to the terrain. And for Off-Road AT's they are still not available in a lot of countries and believe me had to even search for it after reading your comment.

Yeah I also noticed a bunch of missing/misleading information on that part. There are at least 3 types of CVTs and only one of them in a belt style CVT, plus CVTs can in fact engine brake and are quite good off-road.
Hi I am a new subscriber of yours and am not so familiar with CVT. Based on your discussion, would you say that CVT is less complicated and less expensive to repair than fully automatic transmission? Also since CVT is highly reliant on the belt, does it follow that the belt would be the first component to get worned out? how expensive is this belt? Thank you and I hope you could take time to give me some insights on these .
Just take care of your vehicle and follow maintenance from the book and that CVT is fine. It's also very smooth on both city and highway driving with less rpms used as well
I drove a manual for more than 30 years before changing to a car with AMT (suzuki celerio). Once you get used to it you realise just how great a system it is. Not as smooth as most people would like but the ability to switch between auto and manual as well as the same fuel efficiency and power as a manual make it a great choice for small cars.
2:20 you always want to get an auto/dct for offroading (of course depending on which offroading you are doing), with mudding/climbing you definitely want an auto due to manual's tending to stall
It really sucks because when you think about it, CVT transmissions can be a very good type of transmission if only manufacturers didn't cheap out on the quality of materials that they use

Wait so how is it that 10th gen civic which has a CVT let’s me “engine brake?” On the shifter is has S and L underneath D. And when I switch to either of those the car’s RPMs shoot up by 1k and 2k respectively, which help me slow down faster.
It just lowers the ratio, gas engines naturally engine brake, so it just has to simulate gearing down to raise the RPMs for stronger braking force. Edit: S is sport, which is not really for braking more for better torque, L is low which is specifically for braking
I drive an Audi A4 with CVT and the engine brake is as good as it is in manual cars (i live in germany, most cars here are Manuals) And its also very good offroad and to pull heavy load

Well if the belt wouldn't slipping with more than 250hp input power, then every car manufacturer will use them, too bad that CVT cannot even used on a diesel engine due to high torque input curve within lower RPMs.
I drove in a CVT once, and well it was the smoothest drive of my life. It's not suited for everyone, but if you only say in areas where roads are adequate and don't need too much performance from your vehicle (urban driving), it's life changing.
On the contrary, CVTs are actually ideal for performance because they're always in the most efficient RPM. Efficient doesn't always mean "fuel saving". It can also mean maximum performance possible from the engine. When you're flooring it in a CVT, it stays near redline all the way to its top speed, until you let off the throttle. And as you know, most engines put out their maximum power close to redline.
I used to drive a Ford C-Max Hybrid with an eCVT; it only had 200 HP but it could still take off from a standstill faster than my manual 300 HP Genesis Coupe can.

Nice . I thought before that the transmission is only two kinds , the AT and the MT .
Why the car start in 3jear pls
Me too 🤔🤔
Indeed, there are only two kinds of transmissions, automatic and manual. If it requires you to disengage the clutch yourself, it’s a manual. If you don’t have to disengage the clutch yourself, it’s automatic. It’s that simple.
@@rogueinvestor2375 no, it's not that simple. Automatic transmissions are a type of transmission. A CVT is not an automatic transmission because it's not switching gears for you as there is no gears in a CVT. A Dual Clutch Transmission may have gears, but it does not work the same way an automatic transmission does.
@@rogueinvestor2375 Wrong. CVT is neither auto or manual.
I'm one of those people that enjoy the interaction between man and machine that a manual offers. They can be tiring in stop and go traffic. Most of the time they are a lot of fun, especially on a winding country road.
exactly, rural = manual, urban = auto
ngl it becomes second nature to use manual if you mastered it and i dont think at all that its annoying in stop and go traffic. if you do it right, its almost as convenient as an automatic cause you can go into neutral, disengage clutch and if needed just hold the breaks thats it.
In my opinion Manual transmission is the King of all transmissions. you are in full control of your car at any circumstance. you control the vehicle the way wish. Best part of MT is Engine Breaking and Driver has the option to play around and have fun.
I have a toyota etios with AT, if i want engine braking (i often do) i just shift it from "D" to "L" and it goes to the lowest gear possible, providing me a lot of braking
@nakellold that's good to know. I have only driven MT. I didn't know about this.
As someone who lives and will die driving manual, I don't think I could get into using a shifter without a clutch pedal. I would freak out at the thought of gear grinding.
i was just thinking of that. After giving it some thought i just shouted THATS CURSED n shudderd as the video moved on haha
I know right it feels weird even thinking about it
@@angelacos just makes you cringe

Switching between my 6 speed Tacoma and my auto dodge dual lay, I always reach for my shift knob even knowing that I don’t have it. It’s a weird transition for sure
I started out driving 4-speed and a 5-speed transmissions in the U.S. Army in 1975. About a decade after I got out it was 8-, 9-, Performance 9-, 10-, Super 10- and 13-speed transmissions for close to 30 years. My favorite was the Super 10. I've also pulled single axle and multi axle trailers weighing as much as 80,000 pounds overall. You don't get to moving fast that heavy and it takes twice as long or longer to stop as a car does. A little something to think about the time you want to cut off a big truck...
I've also driven automated transmissions and they made me appreciate a regular manual all the more. The narrator didn't cover synchronized transmissions and asynchronous transmission differences.

You drove for 30yrs and still could downshift properly?
Manual transmissions being harder to operate is a massive advantage as it lowers the number of ignorant drivers.
Same when you're saying it requires more effort during driving, it's actually an advantage, as it prevents drivers from falling asleep.
Thats a driver issue not the transmission type. If you are a disciplined driver, it doed not matter what transmission you are using.
I don't get people who say manual is hard to learn. It is quite simple, press clutch to the end, put in gear, then release clutch while pushing gas pedal. The only thing that needs practice is synching clutch and gas pedal
@@MotivationSHCUM True, and also the time to when to change the gear
@@MotivationSHCUM what he means is it makes the karens who look at their phones while driving think twice about driving in the first place. its a deterrent
none of these are based in reality lol, it can cause accidents though unskilled use also because moving a little lever around is not an indicator of driving skill nor does it stop you from falling asleep - like at all - the number of times I've had to constantly talk to someone that was falling asleep while driving a manual is quite large (rarely got bad enough to trade out)
There's a racetrack where you can rent out supercars for a time that are all in manual transmissions and while I did understand the basic concepts of those transmission types, this video really helped me understand the differences of each type and I hope to get out on that track someday! :D

@@DavidR_192 How about you fix his errors, instead of making it dramatic?
I heard that some CVT's "simulate" the feeling of gear shifting cause car owners that don't know how CVT's work think the transmission is not working cause "they don't feel it shift gear" like duh, that's the purpose of CVT's smooth rides with no "gear shift feeling", like bruh
I have a corolla hatch that does this, the simulated gears while driving in D are pretty much not felt at all, you just watch a drop in revs slightly, but while driving in manuals with the shifter or paddles the gears help it to be a fuckton faster as well as actually feel engaging, its a happy balance tbh.

The video is very outdated with some of these “descriptions & pros & cons”
@@sb6162 Smooth driving but costly repairs.
@@Venakis1 thanks for your response. What kind of repairs? I have an 11 month old daughter and need something reliable. How's the transmission and how many miles is on yours?
@@sb6162 I don't have a VW, I drive a Skoda Octavia with manual gearbox. My son's godfather is a car mechanic and he told me that DSG is a great transmission, very smooth but if your warranty is off and it fails you have to pay a lot of money to replace it. That of course doesn't mean that they always fail. If you are a responsible driver and know your car's correct "routine" (like warming up the engine a little always after a cold start) and you maintain it regularly you may be ok. Besides that, I'd avoid european cars if possible. Japanese cars (Mazda, Toyota, Honda) have much higer reliability.
Manual transmission is probably the best. If for any reason your wheels lose traction, you can put the car into the gear which corresponds to the current speed of the vehicle to reacquire traction even in rainy conditions and take advantage of engine braking to shift the momentum of the vehicle. This makes the transition from accelerating to braking much smoother and helps increase the time between brake pad replacements. You don't ever have to wait for ECUs to realize you wish to overtake and downshift while you have continuous access to max torque. It is more efficient regarding fuel consumption and engine wear while servicing is much cheaper due to the simplicity of the manual system. It is also widely accepted that a simple mechanism will always be more reliable as there are less components liable to fail. It is ideal for keeping the RPM in the most healthy and efficient range and as soon as you learn timing your shifts and performing them quickly, you are rewarded with minimal momentum loss and instant max torque upon upshifting. A turbocharged MT offers a whole different experience compared to an AT one.
if im cruising in 6th gear and need to give it some beans, the AT in my CTS coupe will downshift to 3rd faster and smoother than any non racer can shift manually
I absolutely agree with your review of manual transmission
eh dubious, they're inexpensive IF you are a perfect driver and don't put additional stress on components like riding the clutch, they are factually worse for fuel consumption for most drivers, if you dont shift right you can cause extra wheel spin in slick road conditions
I am a Canadian, Manuel transmissions are dangerous and useless in snow and winter driving generally. I can't believe this factor is ignored in the states but not in Europe !

I would like to appreciate the people behind this content, incredibly concise and nothing extra. Just pure knowledge which is easy to understand
I believe many larger commercial vehicles such as buses and trucks that were built in the 1970s/1980s had IMT/semi-automatic transmission systems which makes sense under the context of them trying to allow drivers pay more attention to the road while also making driving those vehicles less physically exhausting! Pretty much before those sorts of transmissions you had to be extremely fit and strong to be able to operate the manual shifters in those large vehicles! :)
My 2019 Kia optima EX has a 7 speed DCT
Their great for beginners in commercial vehicles. Their pretty much idiot proof but aren't as good in ice & snow or mud.

Sure thing!
Are you a bot or something? There are many similar 'praising' comments, that sound exactly like this one here. Looks like the CC paid for some positive comments!
Some city buses have great transmissions that change very fast and seamlessly. "Seamless" is an important word here because city buses commonly take standing passengers here. On busy times, the bus may be full to the brim and a low comfort transmission may be extremely unconformable. It causes very hard shaking on gear changes.

After sliding with my ass facing forwards on a winter road i've understood that auto gear shifting gives alot more control, and only bought cars with auto shifting. It's very easy to write "turn your wheels into slide and shift gear to 3rd and hit gas and all of this at the same time", but not very easy to do.
@@kazeryu17 I know. But you don't know. So I had to tell you
It’s easier on the engine too I assume since you can shift when you want to. My 2000 Ford Focus SE sometimes downshifts and makes my engine redline sometimes and it’s not helpful for the engine since it could damage it.
My Acura ILX has a DCT 8-speed with a conventional torque converter. Really smooths out the low-speed jerkiness you normally have with a DCT, and it makes the gear shifts almost unnoticeable even when you're accelerating hard. It still gets confused sometimes in brisk traffic when it can't decide whether to shift up or down.
I find the DSG from VW is pretty much the best I've used, its a rare moment I trip it up and thats usually during a sudden stop. Either way DCTs are I think the best even if they're a touch heavier

used in cars without any electronic parts except for the light
like the russian car Lada Niva
where you have to use the clutch twice to shift a gear
once to get from a gear into neutral
and second time from neutral into another gear
Those function identically to regular manual gearboxes. The difference is there are no synchros to help with the gear changes. That’s why you have to double clutch in most older manuals.
A fair few trucks have them and my old vw beetle has one
That’s just a non synchronized transmission.

DCT is now found in many low cost cars. As you rightly said so, if it fails (including worn out clutch plate), it is too expensive to repair. Likely to replace the whole transmission which cost way too much. In the end, best to replace the car. Make no sense to put DCT into everyday low cost cars. Best keep it to sport cars which require fast gear switching.
One thing missed about manual transmission: you get best control to your car and best driving feel to the car and road than others.

Great to hear!
According to google mileage order is : automatic
Since many people today do not know how to operate a manual (3 pedal) transmission car, it also means fewer will be able to steal it, even though it lacks preventative measures. Also, a rear mounted transaxle puts more of the car's weight over the rear wheels. To me, those are very desirable features to have, especially considering they are included free of cost. 🙂

Manual cars suck, as they're not good off-road. My parents have an off-road car with auto, and it has the best off-road capabilities ever. It even comes with armor plating underneath everything. The reason i love CVT, semi-auto, or powershift in farmer speech, and auto is the best things out there. You only need to do a few simple things and you're of. Not everyone can drive automatic, semi-automatic or CVT cars, or any other vehicles with any of these three transmission types. Everyone can however drive manuals. I can, and if i can, everyone can, even new born babies can i'm that bad at driving cars. That's why i'm not interested in cars. I honestly take a ride in a taxi when i go to work. I even walk to my job. Mostly taxi rides though. I'm at least caring about the climate. I do wish i had my very own drivers licence though. I only look at the fact that we're in the middle of a pandemic and i don't want to catch the virus, so i obviously don't want to sit in a cab. Then, a girl i barely know coughed me in the neck today, and as she might have the virus for all i know, i'm fuckex up. I just hope i at least get a good life in the afterlife and i'm in the risk zone anyway
@@Chisszaru bruh calm down. You'll have a nervous breakdown at this rate. And believe me if you think Manual Transmission is easy then you haven't met a damn lot of people 😂 more than 70% of people fail there first manual transmission test as the control over speed and gear together is difficult to catch. But once you do. Damn it's the most beautiful feeling to change it and have control over the beast. Also for off-road there is nothing better than a manual transmission as AT's still work on speed capabilities as compared to the terrain. And for Off-Road AT's they are still not available in a lot of countries and believe me had to even search for it after reading your comment. The pro of a manual transmission is that it can be used anywhere. And in countries where the roads as well as traffic is too much would always prefer manual as anytime the Automatic can fail and thats the end for you my guy.
@@aryanv1406 i've met many who succsseded in getting the manuals right the first time. That just shows how well educated Swedes are. I, who can't even drive a car knows how to deal with a manual, and if even i can do that, everyone can do it on the first try. I manage to change gear in a manual car, and i'm like i said the worst driver ever known to humanity, as everything i drive or operates breaks doen like a crazy, and if even i can do it on the first try, everyone can do it on the first try. It sounds weird, but it's true. Even i can change gear in a manual trans car, and that just proves everyone can do it on the first try, cause if i can, everyone can. I don't even have my own drivers licence and i know how to change gear. I've never driven a car and i know how to change gears. It didn't take me long to figure that out, and i'm not like Einstein
Manual all the way, uphill roads and passing cars are nerve racking
I hated CVT as a Teck, but they have gotten so much better that I have one now in my 20 Honda Fit and I love it.
You have to relearn how to drive a CVT as it's very different from regular tranny. Can't just floor it - if you do you won't go anywhere fast.
This is really very good 👍
But I really needed some examples of car brands that usually use each transmission
But in general, good work 👍
Soon as I get in the car, step on the clutch and start the car... me and the car become one. 😁 can't become one when the computer is shifting for me 🤪
😂
did anyone else notice the insane drop in quality on the CVT section?
Yeah I also noticed a bunch of missing/misleading information on that part. There are at least 3 types of CVTs and only one of them in a belt style CVT, plus CVTs can in fact engine brake and are quite good off-road.
Hi I am a new subscriber of yours and am not so familiar with CVT. Based on your discussion, would you say that CVT is less complicated and less expensive to repair than fully automatic transmission? Also since CVT is highly reliant on the belt, does it follow that the belt would be the first component to get worned out? how expensive is this belt? Thank you and I hope you could take time to give me some insights on these .
Just take care of your vehicle and follow maintenance from the book and that CVT is fine. It's also very smooth on both city and highway driving with less rpms used as well
I drove a manual for more than 30 years before changing to a car with AMT (suzuki celerio). Once you get used to it you realise just how great a system it is. Not as smooth as most people would like but the ability to switch between auto and manual as well as the same fuel efficiency and power as a manual make it a great choice for small cars.
2:20 you always want to get an auto/dct for offroading (of course depending on which offroading you are doing), with mudding/climbing you definitely want an auto due to manual's tending to stall
It really sucks because when you think about it, CVT transmissions can be a very good type of transmission if only manufacturers didn't cheap out on the quality of materials that they use
CVT is mostly used in bikes or scooters this days.
I loved the part when both pros and cons are not everyone can drive 😂
CVT is also used in tractors
Where have you been? They're on 30-50% of cars - especially small to mid size.
Nah manual type smaller bikes are more fuel efficient than cvt scooters
Let’s just appreciate the cons of CVT: doesn’t allow you to blow your motor… what a loss
Excessive redlining that would make you feel like you’re blowing your motor is another con to mention.
@@cckiller0053 just slap it in neutral and go ape shit
Düz vitessever olarak «Intelligent Manual Transmissionı» olan araba sürme merakının birdenbire ortaya çıkması... iMT çok ilgimi çekti. İlk defa duydum.
This is so nice i understand your teching is much good than compare to my teacher explaination ,this uses me to do a seminar in my school .thank you .....
Wait so how is it that 10th gen civic which has a CVT let’s me “engine brake?” On the shifter is has S and L underneath D. And when I switch to either of those the car’s RPMs shoot up by 1k and 2k respectively, which help me slow down faster.
It just lowers the ratio, gas engines naturally engine brake, so it just has to simulate gearing down to raise the RPMs for stronger braking force.
Edit: S is sport, which is not really for braking more for better torque, L is low which is specifically for braking
I drive an Audi A4 with CVT and the engine brake is as good as it is in manual cars (i live in germany, most cars here are Manuals)
And its also very good offroad and to pull heavy load
