Manual Vs Automatic Transmission

-


It's been a long time since I have posted an article,I was busy with my university exams.

In this article we will learn about Manual Vs  Automatic transmission. Now a days the cars that comes in the market equipped with either manual transmission or automatic transmission. The basic difference between manual and automatic transmission is that in manual transmission the shifting of gears is done by the driver and in automatic transmission the shifting of gears takes place automatically. The cars that has automatic transmission can also be operated manually. Let's discuss about them in detail.


Manual Vs Automatic Transmission


Manual transmission (MT): The Transmission in which the shifting of gears is done by the driver is called the manual transmission.
  • The cost of the cars with manual transmission is less.
  • Its maintenance cost is less.
  • It does not require active cooling.
  • The fuel efficiency of the manual transmission is more. It also depends the driving skills of the driver.
  • Its design is simple and less complex.
  • Different sets of gears are present in manual transmission to get different gear ratios.  
  • Manual transmission is not easy to derive. High skilled driver is needed to drive manual transmission cars.
  • The driver requires more attention while driving a car with manual transmission.
  • Clutch pedal is used to shift the gears in MT.  
  • It does not allow multitasking during driving.
  • It gives you more ways to control your car because the driver has the choice to shift the gears according to his requirement and experience.
  • In manual transmission cars there is three pedals to operate the car. These three pedals are of clutch, brakes and acceleration.
  • It has low resale value.
  • The MT cars are difficult to operate in high density traffic area due to manual changing of gears.

Automatic Transmission (AT): The transmission in which the shifting of gears done by the car is called automatic transmission.
  • The cost of automatic transmission cars is much higher than the MT cars.
  • It requires active cooling due to overheating problem.
  • The fuel efficiency is less as compared with the manual transmission.
  • The design is more complex due to number of components.
  • Same set of gears produces all of the different gear ratios.
  • Cars with automatic transmission are much easier to drive.
  • Less skilled driver can also drive AT cars.
  • Not much attention is required to operate automatic transmission cars.
  • No clutch pedal is there, automatic shifting of gears takes place according to the speed of the car.
  • It allows multitasking during driving.
  • It does not provide you more ways to control your car.
  • In the automatic transmission cars there is two pedal s to operate the car. These two pedals are of brake and accelerator.
  • It has high resale value.
  • It is easier to drive on steep hills.
  • The AT cars are very easier to operate in the high density traffic area due to automatic changing of gears by the car itself.

Engine   is a device that produces power. It is made by various parts bolted together and they work together to achieve power by burning of fuel. These parts are given below: 1. Cylinder Block: Cylinder block or Cylinder are main part of an engine. It is a part in which combustion of fuel takes place. All other parts like piston, connecting rod, crankshaft, water jacket etc. are bolted on it. 2. Piston: Piston is placed in the cylinder and transmits thrust to the connecting rod. It is free to move. It compresses the air fuel mixture and convert the fuel energy into mechanical energy. It transmits the power to the crankshaft. 3. Cylinder Head: Cylinder head is fitted on the top of cylinder block and the function of the cylinder head is to seal the working end of cylinder and not to permit entry and exit of gases on cover head valves of the engine. The valves, spark plug, camshaft etc are fitted on it. 4. Connecting Rod: It connect piston to t

Sometimes, we wonder if technology is hurting more than helping us, and in some cases, it may be. One way that today?s technology is really helping us is by providing us with many more devices in our vehicles to keep us safe. Throughout the history of motor vehicles, there have been some significant changes. For instance, in the beginning, vehicles didn?t even have seatbelts or windshield wipers. We?ve come a long way since Henry Ford first started rolling cars off the assembly line. Today?s automobiles have all kinds of wonderful features designed to keep you and your loved ones safe. Here are 10 of the top vehicle safety devices you need to be aware of, especially when purchasing a new vehicle: 1 Airbags Some people think that these are actually dangerous, but they have in fact saved many, many lives. There are two main types of air bags, dual stage airbags and side airbags. If needed, the dual stage airbags will go off at different times, one in a minor accident and b
