You might have heard about short-throw-shifters, but don’t actually know how it works. Basically the process is very similar like the aforementioned but here the lever arm is replaced and the distance between the gears is shorter, that means the selector travels in short time. The difference is minimal here and only the experienced one can feel it. But the main thing is: you still need to use the clutch pedal and the gas pedal if you want to shift and make the car move.

Now, let’s see if there are any advantages besides the continued engaging of the legs, yeah, gym exercises?

The manual transmission didn’t cause a lot of headache to the manufacturer, they are easier to be designed and cost less. Simplicity folks, yeah, which pays off!

It weighs less than the automatic, for example the 2015 Subaru WRX automatic transmission weights 160lbs more than the manual. You get the note here, of course you will pay for better AWD performance.

The manual transmission is more efficient. When it is under high pressure there is heating and some of the torque might be lost in this situation. But don’t worry, with the manual transmission, this is lowered.

Also, if you can’t start your engine, you can ask for help from the pedestrians to push your car and while they ae pushing you can put the car in gear and turn on. It is simple.

At least, take time to learn to drive a car with manual transmission this summer, you might found that it is much funnier that the automatic. You never know!
