This is idiotic. Its old. All the "benefits" of manual have been dis proven. Gas mileage is near the same. "More Control" over the car is in the drivers head.
"Less wear and tear" has also been debunked. Driving a manual is just stupid. Manuals are for senior citizen posers who want to pretend they are Mario Andretti on their way to work at 7/11

i dont have a car
but either way, i dont care, a car is to get from A to B, i dont really care wether its automatic or manual shifting (can drive both ofc). if i want to have fun i drive a motorcycle, and motorcycles are manual ofc (there are few automatic, but they suck)

as for auto vs manual
automatic is easy as fuck and you can basically drive asleep, manual is better if you drive more fun oriented as you can use your engine to break or keep your engine in higher rpm where automatic would shift

>>695101635
I'm just not a car guy. Driving isn't fun to me, and I don't feel any need to make it fun. It's just a thing I do to get around, and the car itself is just a tool for that purpose. I drove an old toyota pickup for about six months that was a manual, so I learned how, but I didn't care for it. I prefer letting the car shift gears by itself. If you enjoy cars and driving more than I do then by all means have fun with your manual. I don't have autism so I feel no need to criticize that choice of yours.

The automatic drive is an american thing. Europeans drive manual.
>>
>>695108050
by timing the downshift right. If you're in 4th and you're going slow enough to go to 3rd then go for it. If you drive you car enough you'll know the sweet spot for gas/clutch ratio to downshift perfectly everytime and nobody in the car would ever even know you downshifted. if you're going highway speed and decide to drop it to 3rd then yeah that's obviously horrible
>>
>>695106855
no problem

pro tip: If you've got a car with little power and are going up a hill and want to go faster, turn off your A/C.
Reason: The air conditioner compressor uses about 10-15 HP. <<<This is why the idle RPM goes up when A/C is on.

Downshifting you can't. Upshifting you rev the engine gently up a little over the same rpm, let off gas a little, shift into next gear when desired rpm is hit.

Its an unsynchro'd 10 speed for an 18wheeler. You have to manually synch each gear before you shift by getting the rpms right.
>>
WTF is it with this fascination with manual transmissions? It's easy as fuck so it doesn't make you special and there's nothing "masculine" about rowing a fucking shift lever. If that's important to your masculinity, you are a faggot in denial. Anyone can easily learn to drive stick if they have a REASON.

Following that masculinity logic, any of you who can't drive a car with a hand crank starter, manual ignition advance, lever operated carburetor, and pedal operated transmission are flamers. People have been driving Model T Fords for more than a century so if you can't you are clearly an ass pirate.

You can technically shift without clutch, but it's reallynot advisable to do this in, for example, a sedan. The synchros and gear teeth will get prematurely worn and possibly damaged. A clutch is designed to take the wear and is much cheaper to replace than gears and synchros.

if in a car and you use compression braking(engine braking) in combination with friction braking(the pedal to the left of the one that makes it go aka the throttle) you can stop in a much shorter distance than any car with an automatic.

That puts a lot of stress on your clutch having it engaged for that long just put it in neutral and coast then slide it back into gear when you need power back

You obviously are a terrible mechanic then, because most cars have belt driven compressors which put extra load on the engine when in use. Turn off AC = less load = slightly more HP

Even better than F1 - though the lack of steering for me renders these ineligible (I'm sure there's 'steering for minor corrections, but we're not talking taking corners here).

Something designed for a specialist purpose (eg: going fast in a straight line) will always beat something designed for general purpose (straights plus corners).

Either way - still shows nascar is far from the fastest cars out there.

You dumb piece of shit. Releasing the gas pedal does not disconnect the engine from the wheels. What do you think NEUTRAL does then?

If you don't drive your manual like a faggot then you won't have to change though so often. My 2007 car still has the factory clutch working in good condition because I don't drive like a faggot and know when to push and release the clutch properly.

Not to mention brake pads and rotors are much fucking easier and cheaper to replace than a clutch and often a slave cylinder along with paying to resurface your flywheel.

Most original buyers won't wear out an automatic before they sell the vehicle.

Driving a manual doesn't make you anymore or any less of a man. That being said,I own two cars. One is manual,is is auto/paddle shift. The auto id for boring errands.tired...the manual is for fun. No judgement if you don't,just underrstand that some drivers are enthusiasts.

AC compressor load is trivial unless your engine is microscopic, but fast idle speeds up the pump so they work better in traffic. Low engine RPM = low compressor RPM.
>>
>>695105679
Wears out your throwout bearing don't do that

Extra load on the engine yes, 10-15hp losses no.

Even if it did that horse power is not magically released to the wheels

Nobody in here has mentioned that you can clutch start a manual. If you are in an automatic and your battery and/or starter are fucked? You get towed. Drive a manual? Clutch start it and drive to a mechanic or fix it yourself. Manual = Superior reliability.

Not everyone drives an expensive manual car. You gain more HP by turning off the AC compressor on most manuals. Some cars though it doesn't matter as much.
>>
>>695112713
not OP but I drive a manual 09 SI. Bought it brand new in 2009. The manual version was much more expensive than the auto and the manual version sells for far more than the auto

I never said 10-15 HP. That wasn't me. Extra HP is released to the wheels (HP = potential to do work) on most manuals on the road. Like I said to another anon, not everyone drives an expensive manual car. There's more 4 cylinder manuals out there than any other.
>>
>>695112914
Yeah, I'm not a retard so I build my own battery packs too. Usually spend around $400 every three years building them. Also built my own power wall and converted my Honda to electric. Nigger, gas is for morons.

>>695112293
Many vehicles have a WOT cutout which disengages the electric AC compressor clutch during acceleration. The 1970s are ancient history.
>>
>>695113131
Negative. I have clutch started many times on flat surface. You have to push car jump in and drop the clutch. I have even clutch started by myself on a flat surface.

I can drive a stick, my first two cars had manual transmissions. But now I can afford an automatic, I do most of my personal driving in stop and go traffic, so a manual would be annoying, and my job involves a good bit of driving, so I don't really drive for enjoyment any more.
