Why Learn Manual Driving?
Total Vehicle Control
Automatic transmission relies on fluid pressure to change gears, adding a lag of about 0.5 to 1.5 seconds. In a manual transmission, you shift into the gear before pressing the accelerator, locking it in place.
Greater Fuel Efficiency
An automatic transmission has more internal components, constantly getting more power from the engine. A manual transmission has fewer moving parts and a direct mechanical connection between the engine and wheels. The engine works less and burns less fuel.
Drive Absolutely Anything
When you only know how to drive an automatic vehicle, you are locked out of driving older cars, performance cars, many commercial vehicles and rental vehicles still using manual transmission.
Better Lifespan and Reliability
Automatic transmissions use complex valve bodies, electronics, and sensors that are prone to failure and expensive to diagnose and repair. A manual transmission is a purely mechanical system of solid gears and bearings. It can easily handle heavy use without overheating, lasts significantly longer, and costs thousands less to repair.
