* The driver manually changes gears using the gear lever.
* Requires the clutch pedal to be depressed to disengage the engine from the transmission when changing gears.
* The driver must coordinate the throttle, clutch and gear changes to operate the vehicle smoothly and efficiently.
Pros of manual transmission:
* Greater control over the car, especially in sporty driving
* Better fuel efficiency
* Lower cost of acquisition and maintenance
* Improved reliability and durability
Disadvantages of manual transmission:
*More difficult to learn than automatic transmission
* Requires constant shifting of gears, which can be tiring in traffic jams
* Risk of engine cranking at too high speeds
*Difficult to drive off-road
Driving automatic transmission (automatic transmission)
* The car automatically changes gears depending on engine speed and load.
* The driver does not control the clutch.
* The driver only needs to move the gear lever between the ‘P’, ‘R’, ‘N’, ‘D’ and, if available, ‘S’ (Sport mode) positions.
Pros of automatic transmission:
*Easier to learn and drive
* Reduce fatigue in traffic jams and during everyday driving
* Safer off-road
*Reduces the risk of engine damage due to high speed cranking
Disadvantages of automatic transmission:
* Less control over the car
*Lower fuel efficiency
*Higher acquisition and maintenance costs
* Less reliable and durable than manual transmission
