What Does Your Transmission Do?
Simply put, your transmission is how your car changes gear while driving. A gearbox moves gears to different levels to send power to the wheels helping the car move forward or backward. Your car’s gear is determined by how fast you are going and how much power you require. The way a transmission works is quite simple, Torque from your engine goes into the transmission by the input shaft, goes through the gears, and comes out of the output shaft.
What is Manual Transmission (MT)?
The manual transmission is operated by the driver by shifting the gear lever and the clutch pedal, along with the acceleration pedal, to send power from the engine to the gearbox, which then sends power to the wheels. It is a hand-operated gear lever and is quite common on roads, and most of the cars you may have seen are essential with manual transmission.
On the other hand, manual transmissions give the driver control over which gear the car will be in at any given moment. Lower gears utilize more torque and operate at lower speeds, while higher gears use less torque and operate for longer at faster speeds.
Cars with a manual transmission have a clutch pedal next to the brake that must be depressed when not accelerating or maintaining a speed with the accelerator pedal. When changing gears, the clutch pedal is depressed so that the clutch can move into the new desired gear.
What is Automatic Transmission (AT)?
You do not have to manually change the gears in an automatic car. The gearbox's mechanism works so that the car will change the gears automatically without the driver having to use either the gear lever or the clutch. Since these cars are easier to use, you may have seen many automatic cars on the roads today.
Within automatic transmissions, there are actually two types: traditional and dual-clutch.
Traditional automatic is a type of automatic transmission connected to the car’s engine by a torque converter. The vehicle controls when to shift gears with this transmission, and the driver has no input or control. The car will monitor certain parameters to determine when to shift gears, such as speed, throttle pedal position, and engine revolutions.
What is Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)?
The CVT gearbox comes with a single gear that is variable in nature and uses a pulley or belt to shift speeds. Many hybrid cars have a CVT gearbox, which is known to improve their mileage because of its mechanism. Most car manufacturers of traditional manual cars are now coming up with models and variants with a CVT gearbox.

Manual is the best! Upshifting, downshifting, and the best part is rev matching
80% of drivers have never heard of rev matching. I drive motorcycles as well, sometimes I don’t even use the clutch to shift gears, only do the rev matching
Me personally, I love the constant going first, second, third, second, clutch in, breaking, neutral, first, second, first, second.. when going home from work at rush hour... definitely not times when I would wish me an automatic, no no
I learnt to drive ina manual car that didn't have synchromesh in first, onceyoy got used to it .
Driving a manual transmission is like God sitting beside you. It’s totally safe!
Accidents happen anytime but you still have the precious seconds to respond!
That’s the power of manual transmission!💪
Your choice
There’s this thing called semi auto
So illogical!! If touvecee actually drove a manual transmission vehicle you'd never make the above statement. What does the transmission have to do with making vehicles safer!?
@@dstr1 because a manual forces you to actually pay more attention to your road conditions.
I finally found out why non-car enthusiasts hate driving so much after my Honda broke down and I had to drive my mom's kia for a month. Y'all just need a more fun car simple as that. And a manual transmission can really make any car fun tbh.
Depends where you live like it states here in the video. Of you live in a city where you will deal with traffic auto just seems like a better way to go.
@@DonJulio510 I live in the metro area of Minneapolis/st. Paul
Stop and go with a manual sucks but it's worth is for %99.9999 of my other driving
No non car people just can't drive.
you’re totally right. i taught a lot of my friends how to drive stick on my e46, its slower than all their cars but now they want manuals too! nothing like fun driving.
@@TrVlogs82 pretty much native african mostly cant drive much
I had a manual1996 model Volkswagen golf cl works great, enjoying driving manual
transmission, love it.
super🤝
I love MTs. I've driven both AT and MT, driving uphills and city traffics, I'd still take MT as my daily. It also helps me keep awake and alert while driving.
I have one each of 5-speed manual and 10-speed automatic. Both are awesome in their respective cars (2010 Impreza 5-door, 2020 Mustang turbo convertible). The Impreza is a blast to drive and handles great, while the Mustang is a wonderful cruiser which handles well enough and has great acceleration. I’m glad each has the transmission it has.
I learnt driving on a motorcycle manual transmissions, from there the love of manual transmission kept on growing I've zero interest in automatic vehicles, but I'd love to try out a CVT
Very helpful, very informative. Thank you.
Till now I'm still love driving manual. Started my first and now the second car. No hassle on any traffic matter.
I learned to drive using a 5-speed manual car. I will ALWAYS love a nice stick shift ..the clutch, shifting up and down !!👍
Can't go wrong with a manual transmission vehicle! 🤘🏾😎🤘🏾
Manual transmission allow you to fully control your vehicle tho 😅
My first car was an automatic transmission and later I switch to a manual transmission. I think the transition took a while and was worth it. I love manual transmission! I have control over the car and it feels like a relationship
Driving an automatic feels like you're watching a movie.
@@MalachiTheBowlingGod that aint bad
@@MalachiTheBowlingGod that aint bad
So do you fuck it in the tailpipe?
I’m really torn, I’m gonna buy my first car so any transmission will have a learning curve for me. Which do you think is better cost and resale value wise?
Note that the section on CVT describes the old belt type of CVT, whereas some of the images are of Toyota eCVT equipped models, such as the Prius. The Toyota eCVT does not use belt drives at all. Their current system has a planetary gear set, with a motor generator (MG1) which controls the ratio electronically. The models with that type of transmission have no belt driven items at all - MG1 is an alternator/motor (variable frequency 3-phase AC), both used to start the engine when required, and to churn out electric power. The engines use chain drive for the camshafts, so no belts at all in those. Other items, like cooling fans, & air con, use electric motors.
So which one you prefer and why
Merci pour toute ces précisions car peu de monde comprennent la e-cvt
@@lucky889s9 e-cvt the best for calm driving.
is it more reliable, economic friendly, and money saving over a manual?
Thank u for this great video
Very Informative 👏🏽
It is an valuable video made me to understand the meaning of cvt now and how to use it and when thanks 😊 for that
It is bs. Hybrids doesn't have cvt.
Wife and I exclusively drive manual vehicles. It's amazing how much more in tune you are with both your car and other drivers. It makes driving fun, and it has to be for how much I drive for work/play.
Manual is fun except when stuck in traffic, my left leg gets tired after stop/start traffic
It sucks!
@@toddsmith1617 good wives always do
Manuals are best to have in hilly terrain.
Here's a good explanation why racers and off road enthusiasts go for manual. I first learned how to drive on a 4 speed 1982 Mitsubushi Lancer. I learned automatic on a year 2000+ Nissan Sentra. It only took me around 5-10 minutes to learn.😅😅😅
yes
Wow this video was extremely informative, I am planning to buy a new used car but I am thinking of the benefits of getting one car with manual gears, for the fun the car, but at the same time, automatic transmission is less of a hassle. So it seems I have a lot to think about which transmission to choose 🤔
Thank you guys for this great video. Keep up the good work.
If you are a first time driver I would advice to first start with a manual. Manual helps you learn how to actually drive but with automatic you are just controlling.
manual is the best
It's nice to drive a manual car,instead being driven by a computer!
Most cars nowadays are computers with a car body
This vid leaves out some important considerations. True... enthusiasts usually find a manual transmission more engaging, more fun. But most drivers do NOT measure their driving satisfaction by their ability to operate a clutch and shifter skillfully. And although the manual transmission is mechanically more efficient than automatic alternatives, most drivers are not able to operate a manual transmission with sufficient skill to achieve better performance OR better fuel efficiency that a well-engineered automatic transmission. MOST enthusiasts and environmentalists who believe they are skilled at operating a manual trans. fall short of the performance and efficiency modern automatics can deliver.
That's why professional always not able to connect with crowd....I mean everything😂
Replace the word “automatic” with “dual clutch” and everything you said would make a lot more sense.
@@xtrekrex I will certainly agree that dual clutch transmissions raise the performance potential of "automated transmissions" to an even higher level. But I will stand by my judgement that most MT drivers who think they are better than a well calibrated AT... aren't.
Most people could be taught. It's not hard!
Spoken like someone who doesn't know how to drive a stick...
I drive a manual and I enjoy the fact I'm always in full control of my vehicle 🤷♂️
impressed
Automatic dual clutch. Is my favorite. I drive much of my time in city. Greetings from Ecuador.
My current car, Chevy Malibu Hybrid 2018 has a CVT, my very first time driving it, and I'm never going back to regular automatic.. The smoothness is amazing.. When my friends drive my car.. They love it. Yet, has a nice pick up when needed. Been having a hard time finding a new car I want to get with a CVT, but might just get the next cadillac lyric instead and call it a day. More into a smooth comfortable ride than struggling to drive... My car is almost 5 years now.. And still feeling very smooth
Honda made their CVT feel like a regular automatic transmission with actual gears. It is nice and seems sturdy. When the car is moving faster, you get the feel of a gear change. In reality, the CVT is operating normally, giving you the more customary gear change feel. People freaked out when they were accelerating but the engine RPM remained constant.
Couldnt blame you, but not until it start slipping
Enlightening good video 💯
Very informative
I think following your explanation, I love manual
perfectly explained 🙏👏
Wow that is great thank you very much
Amazing video!!!
Manual transmission = Freedom. Manual transmission is best no question.
Sadly USA is the automatic cvt state
@@braskcovroldinin8816 With time things are bound to change. Well, almost all things. Except wine and vintage cars and Tom Cruise.
You can’t paddle change a manual car.
Bro i don't even know how to drive in a manual car i use automatic for simplicity
Ture
Nice explanation 👌
Excellent presentation
Thanks a lot
Manual transmission for me always
Manuel gear is good when you drive during snow and in hill stations and more importantly when you are in off road conditions stuck in rainfall .
I’m watching this before starting driving school. I’m excited to learn manual! It’s just sad that most premium cars only has manual as their base models usually. And those with better interior and other features are reserved for the automatics and cvts
true 😥 i think they discriminate the manual transmission
When I was young I loved manual transmission. I loved shifting through the gears.
I'm older now and I much prefer automatic transmission
Having driven all three... I prefer the automatic for regular everyday driving. I fear the longterm durability and repairablity of CVT.
Was your CVT a Nissan by any chance?
Having driven all three.... I prefer the manual for every day driving, It's very reliable and can solve some situations like starter engine fail
@@antondizxinzo If it was mostly traffic free hwy driving, manual is ok. Unfortunately, I live in a city where traffic is bad stop and go everywhere. Street or hwy... and parking can be hard to find. Plus, unless it's a sports car, or truck, resale on a manual can be difficult. Kids today can't drive stick shift.
@@mrallan8063 everyone have their situation and preferences and for that we have all options
For driving in a city I will probably chose a motorbike to don't deal with traffic jams
What's your CVT? There are two types, standar CVT that works with a belt and E-CVT that works with electric motors, this is only for hybrids
automatic is for them days that you don’t really feel like driving or going a long distance. i’m blessed enough to have cars with both manuals and autos. manual is definitely more fun and keeps you engaged while driving. really depends on your personal preference
Good to know 🤘
I used to drive a 45' bus with an automatically shifting MANUAL transmission. Air pressure operated the clutch and shifted gears while the computer lifted off the throttle and reapplied it as it shifted. Have to be careful too because it can roll backwards when stopped. They don't have a "park" selection on the gear selector. All the drivers I worked with HATE those buses because they are so slow accelerating.
An interesting video. I prefer a manual box, but now have an automatic. One correction to your commentary - in the US early automatics were two or three speeds, not four. More ratios have added only in recent years.
Manual for the win
I love manual. But I love EVs too. If going for an ICE car, I would go manual, preferably a 6-speed manual. But if going for an EV, I’d go have a single speed transmission.
Nice
some of the pics in your video reminds me of my BMW X5, I miss that semi-digital automatic clutching of bm
Wow Thanks a lot
I miss my 92 Honda Prelude SI manual it was my first manual that I personally owned and learned how to drive manuals from my grandpa and dad's car but my Prelude was my favorite and more fun to drive.
Hello bro please also explain about the indicator P R N D and other + - etc how the are operated and when. So that it will be much easier to understand the usage.
Sure! thanks for the suggestion
Manual transmission is the trans that lasts the longest. Full clutch type automatic transmissions are also very good as a whole with proper servicing. CVT trans in theory are very good but they have inherent problems with slippage of the drive belt if the drive and driven pulley don’t maintain the correct pulley width to keep the drive belt firmly clamped. They also create a lot of metal filings which can damage internal components. Coupled with the fact that everything is controlled electronically this adds to the problems that occur with these transmissions. Many newer models are fully sealed for life and have no filler or dipstick.
My car had to have it CVT replaced under warranty at only 48000km. CVT transmissions are probably the most common trans around today in the small to medium size cars.
Sounds like a American car.
You have to replace the clutch on a manual as maintenance
Whatever performance gains the automatic has on the manual is only a fraction of a second.
But in terms of down time when repairs are required, the shorter down time of a manual transmission vs an automatic transmission is more than enough to wipe away the deficit by days.
By design a manual transmission design wear is more like a service than a repair. It is essentially a brake pad and rotor connectivity. Serviceable in just a few hours.
An automatic transmission on the other hand when it is worn out is not only more difficult in dealing with a heavier, larger unit but there is much more work than a few hours and the repairs more than just a service.
Manual transmissions = More like military grade, field serviceable and shorter down time with minimal tools.
Automatic transmission = More like a commercial item, harder to service (needing service mode, correct temp, just to read the oil etc), harder repairs, longer down time designed to justify the larger bill.
... if it even needs service at all. I had one manual transmission car that I bought new, and had it for 15.5 years. The transmission and clutch were still factory original when I got rid of the car, and fully functional, with no noticeable wear or slippage.
Modern Automatics are not even close for commercial grade, more like DISPOSABLE grade, like diapers. Most of the automatics, CVT and DCT are so complex, it is cheaper and easier for the repair shop to replace a new ones rather than grinding their way of rebuilding it and often they cant get it right because of too many constant and variables. Older automatics such as hydramtic, TH350 etc are exception, they are robust and easier to rebuild.
I have to say manual transmission for me all easy for service and cheaper to replace
Manual para quem gosta de pilotar!! E eu amo pilotar!!!
Manual is the best. Once you learn how to drive a manual, you can drive any car.
And you'll never want to drive an automatic/CVT ever again : )
I love driving manuals.
I started learning in manual and have been for about 3 years, and man the auto is so much more comfortable
It depends on what you are going to do with the car, sure they are more economical and give better performance...but get inconvenient in city drive...I I drive an average of 50km a week (in a boring car making boring shit), my knee starts to hurt after a while, for new drivers it's intimidating (especially uphill), there are a lot of skills that you have to master (the clutch point using, knee technique, quick acceleration, brake and clutch, know when to use gears, etc.)
Don't get it wrong, it's a lot easier than it sounds, and it all turns into muscle memories after a while, but automatic is more convenient for most people
Wrong, if you live in the mountains, automatic is better. With a manual, you wear the clutch out and pay $1,500 for repair.
Manual driving is so very easy, no matter what type of engine, manual or automatic, they same easy to drive, the important is that you have a driver's license before driving
Thanks
Welcome
Thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have now got a car with a CVT transmission after having previously driven cars with manual and automatic transmission for over 50 years. Compared to the other transmissions the CVT is extremely good for climbing steep hills as there is no dwell caused by changing gear.
well said and spot on!
How bout going downhill? How do you engine brake?
@@buskerbusker8826 shift to lower gear when going down hill. Thank you!
It was the opposite for me. CVT transmissions seem to struggle on long steep hills, like westbound 2222 between Mopac Loop 1 and Highway 620 in Austin. Drop my 6 speed manual Kia Forte down to 4th gear and that 2222 hill is no problem.
@@buskerbusker8826there's a B position for going down steep hills, which gives more regenerative braking
Thanks pro 👍
Manual transmission is the best love it so much
Clutch?
I only use the clutch to get moving from a dead stop.
Truck drivers call it "floating the gears", while race car drivers call it "matching revs".
Learning to go up and down through the gears without using the clutch is tough, but the feeling you get when you figure it out is amazing.
I fell in love manual cars from a kid when I see my big brother drive one
They’re also common in the new Nissan Maxima that I have too !
the manual seems good and where is located the filter for such gearbox
If I had the choice I would have a manual gearbox in my Audi S5, but I don't & have to suffer the 7 speed DSG. You really cannot feel the car, even in the manual mode. The clutch on a proper manual gives you that feeling. The CVT is not new. I used to have a 1976 Volvo 66GL (look it up) & it was an awful experience. I didn't complain because it was my Grandfathers & he gave it to me. Manual transmissions go better downhill aswell. You can use the engine & gearbox for braking & controlling you speed in snowy/icey conditions. Great vid.....
Hello brother love ❤ from INDIA 🇮🇳
Manual For Life ❤❤
I've Driven A 91 Subaru Loyale Equipped With A 5 Speed Manual With 4WD On Demand, A 2014 Nissan Versa Note SV With A CVT & Now Own A 2013 Lexus RX350 AWD With A 6 Speed Automatic Transmission That Has A Manual Mode
Do the gears disengage when you press the brake pedal in Automatic ?
Manual, no doubt!
I have used all of them. In my opinion 1: manual 2: Automatic, 3: Cvt
Nice comparison. Sporty stick or auto cruise for long drives
Comparing them when they are new and working as their makers intended?
Or comparing them over 10 to 40 years of usage?
Thanks for the video... i choose Manual Of course...best with turbo charged engine
Its all preference!!!
Audi's CVT is a dream.
The combination i drive is a 3.0 V6 with CVT.
Smooth acceleration at a constant max torque. Maximum comfort and very low gasconsumption because the motor doesn't rev up unnecessarily.
Want to play enjoying the V6 roar? Use the paddles.
Durability? Flush the gearbox every 50.000 miles and drive it with care (full stop before putting it from D to R or vv.).
Never a automatic/shift gear for me again.
Recently started using an automatic Hiace Van. The transition from manual wasn't that straight forward especially cos I can't use both feet and can't use both hands... But later realised it fun to have a spare leg and hand when doing serious driving.
Manual is the best.
Please give a video about steering system use in tracked vehicles.
Sure
@@TheEngineersPost Thank you very much ❤❤❤
Love my 2015 3500 drw with 6 speed manual transmission
So how do intelligent manual transmission work please if there is any video you can post
I like manual ,,I like being fun while driving
Manual for life. 😎
Driving MT in uphill mountainous roads is a life and death battle especially if your engine died in the middle of your climb in a 22 degress angle. While driving AT is comfort and peace of mind. I love driving in both MT and AT. But traffic nowadays makes me prefer to drive in AT for no stress.
Good sir
Thanks and welcome
A manual is engaging, not boring, gives you control of your destiny. I can pull it and install a new one in two hours.
I have a question. Is there a difference between CVT and CVT-i transmission?
I love manual it keeps both of my foot busy, but boii during traffic jam which happened a lot this day and age, i wish i'm driving automatic.
Hei man, what an app your use for the voice?
For traffic the best is manual because is something happens to the car you can still move it without damaging the gearbox
Thanks for the insight I prefer manual
I love manual transmition. Because I lived in highland and village. I need 4x4 because sometimes need to go offroad.
MANUAL ❤️
thank you, manual is good for me
My vehicle has automatic transmission in it. I never learned to drive a manual transmission. My vehicle automatic transmission is a dial. It took me about a week or 2 to get used to. My last vehicle was an automatic transmission. Even my 1st 3 vehicles were also an automatic.
Manual Transmission cars are awesome.
If you want to drive sporty , manual .
If you want relaxing comfort , automatic .
If i have to choose between Automatic and CVT which one are more reliable last longer ???
Manual over all 🤘🏼
Depends upon the traffic across the city
I like the DSG system, which is VW's marketing name for their dual clutch automatic.
Manual is definetly the best.
I have the opinion that for a first car, a new driver should learn and drive with a manual transmission, which in truth, it is somewhat more difficult to master, but nevertheless give the driver the opportunity to "feel" the car and have a better control and comprehension of the different mechanical elements that are part of the vehicle. After that, it is up to the driver to decide if they want to continue with the simpler but more cumbersome manual transmission (like in my case), or choose to "upgrade" to an automatic or CVT transmission. Learning the other way around deprives the initial driver with the opportunity to learn manual and makes, in general, a much worse driver in terms of mastery of the machine.
Indeed. That’s what my parents told me once about learning how to drive. U gotta start with the manual first, because if u can drive a manual, that also def means u can drive other transmissions as well.
not to mention if you are licensed to drive a manual, you're also licensed to drive an automatic. it doesn't apply the other way around
I completely agree.
I like manual transmission because I like to be connected to my car and to feel the love of driving a car.
Nice video very informative.
I prefer Traditional A/T
I Enjoyed your Video, and I think it is helpful for a totally "Non-Car-Person"... But... I would have liked more details about HOW a dual clutch trans works, besides just saying it has 2 clutches. "Dual-Clutch" means "2 Clutches"... but that tells us nothing about how it works. Similar question about "Automatics" that work with a torque-converter... but HOW do they actually shift from gear to gear, and HOW do ANY of the "Automatics" Know When to shift and whether to shift UP or Down..?
