I'm not sure I understand the value of a manual transmission. I know a car is cheaper to buy when it's stickshift, but the cost of replacing the clutch, which I understand happens at least once in the lift of a car, isn't cheap. Is there another part to it I'm missing?

Oh, and I don't judge men on their car ability. I use other standards.

Manuals transmissions get better mileage and less lost power than their automatic counterparts. A manual transmission offers a mechanical connection (flywheel to clutch to pressure plate) between the engine and driveshaft. An automatic utilizes hydraulics and mechanics in making this same connection. Power and therefore mileage is lost thru the use of the hydraulics. Automatics need engine power to operate the hydraulic pump and they create considerably more heat than standards also. And since the automatic trans is generally cooled thru the radiator on a stock vehicle a more costly radiator is req'd to cool them both. Other things that add to the cost of automatic equipped vehicles are transmission cooler lines, electronics to control shifting and they are inherently more expensive to produce because the internals of an automatic are immensely more complicated than a manual.

I've heard of people easily getting 100k miles out of stock clutch/pressure plate combo's these days. If you learn to shift correctly, don't slip the clutch holding the vehicle at a stop on a hill, etc. a clutch can last a very long time.

Need any more info? Mr. Green

Even my 10 yr old cousin can drive a stick! Very Happy

Very Happy

Why has nobody commented on a 10yr old driving a stick? Can he see over the dashboard?
