The Advantages of Having a Manual Transmission

Manual Transmission Repair

The decline of manual transmissions is no surprise. Since the first introduction to automatic transmissions in 1940, many people have opted for automatic over manual transmissions. Though a manual transmission is typically not every person’s first choice, they certainly still have their benefits.
Advantages of Manual Transmissions Having a manual transmission is not for everybody. Other than the extra time it takes to get used to driving a manual, people who own a manual transmission usually love driving a manual and the feeling of being in control. Here are some advantages of having a manual transmission:
1.Cost Less Manual transmissions have fewer moving parts than automatic transmissions. So, typically a manual will cost you less to purchase than an automatic. This could also be contributed to manuals being less in demand.
2.Less maintenance and problems The simpler design of manual transmissions means that there is less maintenance and even problems. Since there are fewer moving parts, there is less to break. As a result, any maintenance or problem is more affordable to service. Like they say, “Simple is always better.”
3.Better Acceleration and Control Manual transmissions typically have better acceleration, since there is less weight and less chance of power loss. Usually, the number one reason why people love their manual transmission is for the control they have. People who prefer driving a manual, especially enjoy the comfort of driving their car. Manual transmissions are a great option when looking for a performance sports car.
4.Limits Theft This is such an excellent additional perk of having a standard transmission. Simply, many people can’t drive a manual, which greatly limits the average theft. This, of course, is not a 100% deterrent, but considering the majority of people who can’t drive a manual, it certainly can reduce theft.
