Robotic gearbox (RCPP)
Advantages:
* Faster and more accurate gear changes than a hydraulic automatic.
* More economical fuel consumption due to the absence of a torque converter.
* Possibility of manual gear shifting.
* Less weight and size compared to a hydraulic automatic machine.
Flaws:
* Jerks when changing gears, especially at low speeds.
* Less comfort when driving due to vibrations.
* Higher repair cost compared to a hydraulic automatic machine.
*Shorter clutch life.
Automatic transmission (AT)
Advantages:
* Shifts gears smoothly and comfortably.
* Does not require manual gear shifting.
*Longer clutch life.
* Pulls better uphill.
Flaws:
* Slower and less precise gear changes compared to manual transmissions.
*Higher fuel consumption due to the presence of a torque converter.
* Higher cost and weight compared to RKPP.
User reviews
Robotic box:
* «Economical, suitable for the city, but twitches when switching.»
* «Shifts quickly and sportily, but is not very comfortable.»
* «Inexpensive, but you need to get used to the jerks.»
Machine:
* «Smooth and comfortable, but changes gears with delays.»
* «Do not require my participation, reliable, but more expensive.»
* «It pulls well uphill, but consumes more fuel.»
Conclusion:
The optimal choice between a manual transmission and an automatic transmission depends on individual preferences, driving style and operating conditions. If efficiency, precision and quick gear changes are a priority, then a manual transmission may be a good choice. If comfort, smoothness and long service life are more important, then an automatic transmission is the best option.
