The author should apply a link to the planetary transmission setup explanation video. Also heavy loads are using automatic transmissions since there is not much place for human error. Especially computer-controlled automatic ones. I mean relatively heavy like for example a tank transmission. Another example can be a system in the "semi-trailer" truck. It is true you can put more on smaller manual transmission but in this case, you have to rely more on the operator skills. Also, a heavy-duty manual transmission becomes rough to operate if the applied load is raised very high while the system weight, placement, and size limitations occur. It's more due to the simplified clutch than the transmission box itself. What's most important is the system's live-cycle overall cost. It's sometimes even more important than the physics ;)

to make it easier to understand, u gotta start with bicycles.. if u see a mountain bike or racer (those with several gears) then that is the same concept... smallest sprocket on pedal+largest sprocket on rear wheel=1st gear... larger sprocket on pedal+smaller on rear wheel=higher gears.. u notice when bikers try to climb uphill they mostly use 1st gear, although it takes a lot of pedaling to move the rear wheel to one rotation, it is still bearable same concept with cars... 1st gear is the slowest just like uphill on bike with low gear BUT its got power..but when u go faster u should use higher gears because at that point, inertia is your friend, and u dont waste your engine power

I prefer a manual. Better control (engine braking for example), smoother shifting (provided you know how to drive a vehicle with a manual transmission), and better fuel economy. Also I've had automatics that at certain speeds and loads couldn't decide between 3rd and 4th gear and kept shifting between the two giving you whiplash.

[@mlgkaju208]

I'd prefer manual if I wanted to drive for fun, and an automatic if I wanted to drive without thinking too much. I think in the long run cruise control w/ an automatic transmission has been shown to actually have the best fuel economy, at least if you are on a highway and don't have to brake frequently or speed up of course. I just can't imagine spending 8 hours on a roadtrip with a manual transmission, but I guess thats why SUVs don't really have manuals.

[@nobleman-swerve]

[@johnpekkala6941]

An electric car dont need to shift gears as the 3 phase VFD controlled motor in modern electric cars operate between 0 to 7-8000 rpm with no problem while an internal combustion engine works best between 800 - 3000 rpm, hence the need for many gears to keep the engine in that speed range. Also the tourque is at max at a certain rpm for a combustion engine unlike the electric motor wich have 100 % torque from 0 rpm through its entire speed range.

[@fischer9001]

Most hybrid and electric cars use a CVT (continuously variable transmission). Which basically means that you don't have SET gear ratios. What happens is that the gear ratio gradually changes as you go faster, so as you accelerate lightly, the RPMS will stay somewhat in one place. If you Floor the gas pedal, the transmission will hold onto a lower gear ratio for longer to get that better acceleration. The simplest explanation I can give you is this: Picture a large cone shaped object, then picture a belt riding on that cone and attached to the transmission output. The gear ratios change by sliding that belt back and forth on that cone. It's like a bicycle, the bigger gears on the crank will give you higher ratios, and when the chain gets put on a smaller gear, the gear ratio becomes lower. The only fundamental difference between that and a CVT is that the CONE shape allows the belt (or chain) to slide up and down gradually, changing the ratio. Hope that answers your question!

[@traviscapehart7590]

Shadow Heart the answer would be no, most electric cars have direct drive, wich means no gears, no shifting. this is because an electric motor is not limited to a specific range of rpm like gas engines. they are much simpler with far less moving parts. they can deliver power to the wheels over a much wider range of motor speeds.

[@nicolek4076]

No no no no. You do NOT press the clutch before applying the brake. The sequence is ABC: foot off Accelerator, foot on Brake, when nearly stopped depress Clutch. This is keeps the clutch engaged until the last minute and the car is better controlled. Pressing the clutch first results in a surge forward - acceleration of the car. I am a UK driving instructor.

[@sujaykumar]

Nicole K exactly, I was about to say that... disengaging the clutch reduces engine breaking, which we dont want trying to slow down

[@TestingPyros]

Engine braking is not only helpful for control, but for slowing the car! Never, EVER release the clutch unless you are downshifting to improve engine braking!

[@nicolek4076]

+TRLWNC1 The way I've always taught my pupils, is not to change gear at all when slowing down. Change gear when you have reached your target speed, or use the clutch just before the engine shows sign of being unhappy when stopping. Changing gear disengages the clutch and makes the car less stable during those moments.

[@TestingPyros]

Nicole K unless you are racing.... ;)

[@TestingPyros]

Nicole K but you are very correct.

[@LucidDreamer54321]

As long I live in a region that gets snow, I will own a vehicle that has a manual transmission. There have been many times when I would have been hopelessly stuck if I had been driving an automatic. I was able to use the clutch and gas to "rock" the car out of a stuck spot. That probably shortens the life of the clutch, but it is better than being stuck in a snowstorm for hours or days.

Obviously you disengage the clutch when you get to a near stop, but you can absolutely use the brakes while taking advantage of engine braking to decelerate to a stop.

[@jonhlennon312]

The smoothness of the manual transmission is something that you learn with practice, so that can be a bit misleading information. In the other hand, it is recommended to have the engine engaged during breaking all the way before it starts to stall. By leaving the engine engaged you let your engine help you slow the vehicle down, saving a bit on breaks. I will also like to add that driving on downhills manual also helps to avoid the vehicle gaining too much speed, thus also not depending merely on break pads. Just saying…

[@dcmonnie]

The trade off then becomes how much wear you’re willing to put on your transmission. I prefer to just use my brakes since they’re easier to replace than a transmission. Definitely useful when going downhill though

[@BananaBabys]

Also I’ll add that you will use more gas using engine breaking and your engine will rev higher causing more wear and heat. I’ve decided that a brake pad job is easy enough than to stress my engine and clutch and trans. But for racing, engine brake is where it’s at.

@@groundloss Engine braking is good for when you have a long enough distance to go, or if you need to slow down faster than just letting go of the gas. Traffic behind you should have enough time to see you slowing down even without the brake lights--assuming they're not distracted by playing on their phones... And your engine can handle shifting back into a lower gear just fine, assuming you don't skip gears. Your brake pads will wear down a lot faster if you exclusively use brakes.

[@Rolsig]

honestly, as much as traffic makes me wish i had an automatic transmission (seriously, operating the clutch and constant swapping between the 1st and 2nd gear is a nightmare) i have to say, that in almost every other non-traffic situation, manual transmission is pure joy you basically feel every single move you make you can rev the engine if you want you feel the sudden surge of power when you change the gear and quickly release the clutch pedal while revving the engine i honestly recommend everyone to try the manual transmission at least a few times if it's possible

[@kuhluhOG]

If you care about your transmission, you shouldn't release the clutch pedal too fast. As the video explained, the Synchronizer Ring is matching the speeds, but if you release too fast, it doesn't have the time to actually do its work and as such tear a lot more. And well, repairing a transmission is pretty costly.

Something not mentioned - automatic has a noticable and significant lag in it. In a manual, when you step on the throttle, since you are mechanically connected to the transmission, power delivery is instant. In an auto, it takes a small bit of time for the torque converter to begin pushing the transmission forward. Then, if there is any shifting occuring, there is a significant lag before full acceleration. Manuals, assuming you know how to properly drive one, acceleration is again, nearly instantaneous.

[@Nero_PR]

Yes. And there are chipsets that can speed up this process. I have one installed on my Chevrolet S-10 2018 and the difference is noticeable when you need power to overtake someone in the road or for going from a stationary position to instantly high acceleration. I would say is a must have for safety purposes since your car becomes much more responsive when needed.

[@KyleNike84]

Two ways to resolve this (I've tried both, they work): 1) use so-called SPORT mode, it forces AT to shift down when you slam that pedal and has a significantly less reaction time compared to regular AT mode; 2) modern AT have a kick-down, which activates when you push the accelerator down to the floor and then some (you'll feel the bump when you press it enough), that'll force AT to give maximum power at the current gear, but be careful not to overrev the engine. There's also a third way, which is manual shifting, but I haven't tried this on the road yet, so can't recommend.

That way you both save the brakes as well as the car's computer knows you're braking on the engine so it won't inject fuel = better milage and lower emissions.

[@GymChess]

But not until the engine stalls which is a risk if you brake from a high gear into a low speed.

When you drive manual you quickly get used to disengaging the clutch at the right time for the current gear.

EDIT - It can be smoother than any auto I've driven so far.

[@john.s1962]

6:36 That's one of the biggest mistakes. You never disconnect the engine, by doing so on a downhill slope momentum can really take your car. Engine braking is used combined with braking. Never disengage the clutch unless you're ready to stop completely. When you want to go slower, just go to a lower gear. Also on downhills, it's better to be in gear and using the brake to have almost no fuel consumption.

I thought I was the only one who noticed it. The use of clutch while breaking is to prevent the engine coming to a halt while in gear, or in a complete stop, only.

[@erikziak1249]

Cláudio Sampaio I recommend starting with Wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_transmission and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_transmission The fluid coupling, also used in this video, is a part of many automatic transmission systems. Contrary to a clutch, it will always exhibit some level of slip and cannot completely "disconnect" the transmission from the engine either. Buses usually have a torque converter, which needs even more power to run but offers smoothness over efficiency, making diesel run busses accelerate equally like electric trolley buses. There are other transmission designs like the two clutch DSG automatic transmission which does not have a fluid coupling or torque converter, but even this type has its flaws (like when you decide to change from acceleration to braking or from motor braking to acceleration at the time of the transmission changing gears. Even this description is oversimplified.

[@emocan126]

Cláudio Sampaio one big problem is that this video shows the automatic as a superior transmission the thing is that, if you are good at it, you can shift quicker with a normal (manual) than with an automatic. also the atomatic is way heavier than a manual good thing about the auto is that you dont need 2 hand and 2 feet to drive it

You DO NOT have to press the clutch every time you want to brake in a manual car. You only press the clutch when you are going to stop completely (in speeds lower than ~20km). Furthermore, by applying the clutch before braking , it gets a little bit harder to stop the car since the car gets a little bit of extra speed! (because of the disengagement) - This video is only one of many videos created by 'professionals' which makes the mistake of 'always' pressing the clutch before applying the brake. I think this happens since they do not actually drive manual cars. Or, maybe this have been a claim of automatic gearbox manufacturers at the introduction of automatic gearboxes! Who knows?! :)) I personally prefer automatic gearboxes with the ability to change gears manually (tiptronic). Automatic gearbox is the best for city traffic (especially in cities built on hills), while the manual gearbox is the best option for enjoying driving in roads and rally.

engine braking is fine, but can be less efficient (in terms of fuel) then just depressing the clutch and using the brakes. You can, however, stop rather quickly.

[@TestingPyros]

Huh? In a carberated car, maybe. But in a computer controlled engine? Not true. At. All. The computer can shut off the fuel flow completely while slowing. However, if you disengage the clutch and let the engine idle, the computer fuels the engine. ;)

[@CalculatedRiskAK]

+TRLWNC1 is correct. In modern fuel injected cars, whether it be Gasoline MPI, GDI, or Diesel, when you let off of the accelerator all fuel injectors are turned off. This is why you should never take the car out of gear unless you are at a complete stop. That and it's safer to leave the car in gear.

Look for kinematic guides and you'll get it ;)

[@TestingPyros]

The basic idea is that a planetary gear allows a reduction in speed. Many of the original automatics were 2-speed. The planetary allowed the inside to spin for first gear, then went to the one-to-one when the planetary locks in. If you watch the video carefully, you can see how the central gear spins (and everything spins slowly around it) when the planetary is unlocked. The other thing that isn't shown well is that the output shaft is locked to the outside of the planetary assembly.

[@aunbomb]

He didn't say you HAVE to press in the clutch in order to brake, it was more of a recommendation, I just think he worded it wrong, I think his point was you should press in your clutch so your engine doesn't suddenly feel the pressure of braking to a complete stop, you could just press in the clutch to separate your engine from the wheels, then brake.

[@PhilipMReeder]

I know! WTF kinda idiot made this crap!

[@PhilipMReeder]

"In manual transmission driving, BEFORE you press brake pedal, the clutch pedal must be pressed completely". That is what is said. There are people who do this and usually place the gear shift in neutral. This is WRONG! When braking, you can keep the car in top gear all the way to almost being stopped before you step on the clutch (before the engine stammers) OR downshift one, or more gears as you decelerate. When you are at a complete stop then you can place the shifter in neutral and let out the clutch pedal (relax your leg) The video describes driving a stick like an old woman.

You guys have to learn the working principles of planetary gears. Basically a planetary gear have 4 components, the sun gear (in the middle of everything) the ring gear (surrounding the planet gears) the planet gears (small 3 gears) and the carrier (connecting the 3 planetary gears) they're always in mesh, and by stopping one or two of these gears you get gear reduction, in which the speed in the output is different than the speed in the input, so you can get underdrive (speed is slower in the output), direct drive (output speed equals input speed) and overdrive (output speed is faster than input speed) that way you also multiply torque to get the car moving, that's why it's a lot easier to start in 1st gear than in 2nd gear, because torque is twice as strong (depending on ever gearbox and the gear reduction for the 1st gear of "X" gearbox)

As of acceleration, for stop & go and highway driving, acceleration is almost instantaneously, the A/T will respond quickly adjusting its gear and pick up speed even if I push gas pedal at about 120-140 km/hour, leaving M/T car behind (You almost can't do this if you use M/T).

You don't have to, but why wouldn't you in most cases? If you're braking, most of the time, it's in preparation to stop, in which case you'll need to shift down, which requires the clutch to be in anyway. If you're merely referring to a slight deceleration, then no, it's not necessary to use the clutch, but for actually slowing down to a stop, or getting ready to take a corner, then pressing the clutch _is_ required.

Still not required BEFORE you break unless you are trying to go from 40mph to 5mph in 3 feet. The key part you are missing is the video says you must before breaking not before you stall the vehicle.

[@thomasschulz2167]

Mia Ray I don't know if you have driven a standard (Manual) transmission in a truck before but in the manual of my truck it specifically says not to put the clutch in then breaking because disconnecting the engine from the drive train removes any breaking power the engine itself can provide. It is more effecient to down shift while using the break at the same time to slow down especially when a load is being hauled. The only time the clutch should be popped when stopped is to keep the engine from stalling.

While I love manual transmissions, and my in depth research into transmissions in general is almost solely on manuals, due to the sparsity of manual transmission vehicles at my disposal, I have very limited experience behind the wheel of them. So please forgive me for talking as though I knew what I was talking about. ^///^*

Well explained video, except about braking in manual. You engage the clutch if you want to stop the car or need to shift down. If all you need is to slow down a bit, you release the gas, then brake. Also, driving manual is never a smooth experience? Sure, not as smooth as just stepping on the gas and letting the car accelerate on its own, but a decent driver (or at least someone who's used to their car) should be able to shift up and down without a problem.

Just finished my manual transmission course and I find just quite similar to an automatic. It's not really that hard. Just needs more practice and you need to get used to. Though it's really fun and keeps you busy and more focused driving than doing other things.

[@arnof.3864]

Something is not exactly what happens in the real driver life at 6:40. First brake then after a while clutch. If you press the clutch pedal first you never get your driving license (in Europe), for very good reasons (engine helps to reduce speed with a manual gear box) 😉. Very nice videos, thank you 🙏

[@ethanahearn9642]

3:28 Never a smooth experience huh? I take offense to that.

[@jettproductions6145]

The reason it won't be smooth is the driver. people don't understand the concept it is rough because the driver let's of the clutch before give a little gas or slamming off the clutch that is why it would be rough if you give a little gas while letting off its smooth shifting it takes practice like everything else

[@tasmaniandevil7610]

If im about to go up a hill ill shift down meanwhile if its automatic you'll need plenty of gas to make the hill meaning more gas usage . ill keep my standard

This has actually answered so many of my questions. Though the statement that the clutch must be fully depressed before braking is misleading. The clutch must be fully depressed before the wheels stop moving, I think it's generally preferable to keep the clutch engaged until that point.

Smooth experience doesn’t depend on the transmission, it depends on the driver.

[@rickardbergh5431]

Well, automatics have become smoother and more economical over the years, and manuals have become easier to shift, so let's call it a draw in terms of performance. On the other hand, automatics are easier to drive in rush hour, whilst manuals are more fun to drive on the open country road.

Manual transmission has a noticeable engine braking. This way you brake with both the brakes and the engine at once. I think that as an important pro, it's not like you have to push the clutch pedal each time you brake. You can even reduce gear and stop in a shorter distance. I don't feel safe when braking with an automatic one.

[@philiproyd6563]

In the automatic you may have a smoother experience in shifting gears, but less control. Try slowing down the vehicle by simply removing your foot of the accelerator. In an automatic, you may obtain the same speed as you did before, which means the brake pedal will have to be applied. In an manual transmission, the engine does the work in slowing the car when the accelerator is released, thus saving the use of brakes. To slow down faster, shift down to a lower gear. You may try this in an automatic, but some automatics will only shift down when the engine is at a certain RPM, so brake will have to be applied anyway. This is why manual transmission is better than automatic.

[@LucidDreamer54321]

One time I went with my sister (in her car with an automatic transmission) to visit relatives in another state. When it was my turn to drive on the interstate, a car swerved in front of us from another lane. Out of habit, I let off the gas pedal to slow down, which of course didn't work. I think we got to about three inches behind the other car and my sister was freaking.

[@TC-th1ey]

The video fails to mention that in addition to the fluid coupling being inefficient in automatic vehicles automatic cars cannot account for exterior factors such as varying terrain (hills, mud or sand) until the vehicle tyres are in said terrain. By comparison in a manual you can change gear prior to driving into whatever situation may present itself, thereby reducing risk of slippage.
