>Car goes vrooom>It vroooms very much>Push left pedal with your left leg>Keep it pushed>With your right hand move stick to position assigned as higher to what it was>Release left leg from left pedal>Wait until cars vroooms too much or too less>RepeatIn past 26 years I made around half of million of kilometers with many different cars with manual transmission and it fucking sucks. I tried to at least tolerate it, but with time I realized it's all just a ridiculous, masochistic cope and there is no reason to ever buy MT over AT. The more I forced myself to MT, the more I hated each next car and driving in general.MT makes absolutely no sense for daily driving and if you think you're some smartass who knows better when to change gears, paddles are in every way superior to repeating left-leg-right-hand dance like a retard.Why does /o/ like MT so much? Is it because most of you are Americans who grew up in AT-only environment and using MT makes you think you're some kind of elite? It just seem ridiculous to someone born in 20th century Europe and I can't think of any objective reason for shilling for MT.
>uses kilometers>massive faggotsad, many such cases
Fun things are fun
>>28651882>manual transmission>funCar on which you made your driving license was mt or at? Seriously asking.
>>28651882Don't bother. Tourists seem to constantly miss that this is an enthusiast forum.
>>28651887It was a manual nigsan pulsar. I've never owned an auto.
>>28651887I find it fun and I learned how to drive in, and my first car was, a manual. Only owned an auto for 3 months of my life, everything else has been manual
>>28651872You drove piece of shit manual cars and didn't like them, shocking.Enjoy changing brake pads and rotors every 6 months because no engine braking
>>28651898>You tried putting wrong dildos in your rectumIt's absolutely not that. I had much more fun driving AT Merc 300d or Audi A3 than MT Merc E or Audi TT.>Enjoy changing brake pads and rotors every 6 months because no engine brakingI had more trouble with clutch than I ever had with anything AT-related.
>>28651872If you put the car in the wrong gear it makes a loud noise, that's all they're after. They want to make loud noises and "show off" but it's not the 80s anymore and everyone thinks you're a fag or brownoid if you disturb the peace like that.
>>28651887for me i learned on auto, then i bought a car that i later found out could be manual swapped very straightforwardly. did it, then a crash course in driving manual, then proceeding to rack up about 5 years of mileage in 2
>>28651897Could you explain what's so fun about it? Is it greater sense of control over car/engine or just extra manual labour during driving is fun to you?
>>28651909Because you are shit at driving which is obvious because you made this thred. I bet you used handbrake on hillstarts and never learned to heel toe
>>28651920>you are shit at drivingNo.>you used handbrake on hillstartsNope.>heel toeDance dance revolution
>>28651921If you were destroying clutches you are shit at driving a manual, never rev matching, riding the clutch constantly etc.Engineers spent thousands of hours designing and testing the clutches you destroyed yet you somehow still tucked them champ.
>>28651924Clutches broke once in 26 years - at very worst possible moment. At least AT gives you some signs to check them out.
>>28651918It's like a little mini gameTrying to get the cleanest and fastest up shifts, and the cleanest heel toe, and regular rev match downshifts. Manuals don't really have a high skill floor, any retard can figure it out in a few hours but much higher than autos, but it's got a nearly infinite skill ceiling. And there's the fact that you can keep your car in its power hand when you want it. See an opportunity to pass on the highway coming up? You just downshift ahead of time so when it does open up you're right where you need to be, no waiting for the car to realize you want to accelerate.It's better on brakes because you can lightly brake to a stop while you heel toe down the gears.I feel like I've got more control at parking lot speeds, I find autos to be jumpy as the torque converter gets going. Just don't have the same control you do with a clutch
>>28651927Because you were operating it poorly.Just accept that you are shit at driving manual and accept that you need to be an auto tragic driver because you are poor and drive shitboxes.Post current auto tragic old man
>>28651929Torque converter creating lag is why they are shit. Manual cars have instant response, auto tragic is why people crash stuff like mustangs because they start spinning the wheels in first then the auto tragic shifts to 2nd and then the unskilled operator loses it and kills a family of 5

You just downshift ahead of timeBut you can do it with paddles, don't you?Honestly, now that I have AT without paddles, I just kickdown and use this time for turbo to awake. Effect's the same. However now at least I can see how you might like it. May I ask how much km/miles you made on MT cars or how many year you're driving?

>>28651872You're a low-T wrenchlet that only drives coluckboxes. If you ever drove a real car with a manual you'd realize the lag associated with having computers sort out gear selection is incredibly cucked.
>>28651980>audiWas suppose to be fun car, but it ended up being more like that Skoda than TT-replacer for midlife me. I will probably replace it with Mini Cooper S next spring.>wagon skodaIf you're over 40 and don't own a wagon you fucked up in your life.
>>28651971What's your car? Or is your car the misses car? My misses drives an auto tragic ve commonwhore wagon
>>28651987>If you're over 40 and don't own a wagon you fucked up in your life.Whatever let's you sleep at night.
>>28651984>If you ever drove a real car with a manual you'd realize the lag associated with having computers sort out gear selection is incredibly cucked.I see you're a zoomer who doesn't even remember pre-computer cars with AT.Basically any AT shits at any MT and I say that from position of man who made hunderds of thousand km/miles in both. In good modern ATs you still can switch gears manually if you don't trust any mode given by manufacturer. If you do that you actually find out that all this "lag" is you not doing silly dance with half of your body when switching gears.
>>28651872In most cases it's because it's an American site and most people drive automatic there. It's something different. It also makes the driver more crucial to making the car move, and being a car hobbyist board, it makes sense that the manual transmission is preferable. That being said, modern manual transmissions might as well be automatic.
>>28652003>In good modern ATs you still can switch gears manually ifHow, does a clutch pedal pop out from under the dash if you press the right buttons in sequence kek, you're a ricer and a wrenchlet dude
>>28651980skodas are based though>>28651987why would an a3 be fun in any way lmao>I will probably replace it with Mini Cooper S next springgayest car in the world
>>28652016Nigger, my wife just by chance learned to manually switch gears in her VW crossover shitbox. It's not black magick.Meantime you think that doing silly dance with left leg and right hand does not cost you any time. Your opinion on anything is discarded as you're obviously a retard.
>>28652047>does not cost you any time.You switch lanes a lot and never lined up to do a dig or a roll and you're talking about getting nowhere .002 seconds faster, wrenchlet
>>28652037>why would an a3 be fun in any way lmaoBecause during test drive it was stiffer and snappier in comparison to Skoda Superb. Also objectively it's performance wasn't that behind what I used to in old days (literally just a half of sec less in 0-100km/h to my old Audi TT).>gayest car in the worldI took it for a test drive for whole weekend this time. It's much less gay than I anticipated. It's very fine actually, even in mid-spec 2l 204hp.
youd get it if you were doing thisyea manual for being stuck in traffic is fucking retarded
>>28652037>skodas are based though
>>28651927>AT gives you some signs to check them out.9/10 times if your auto tranny is exhibiting issues thats because its already been damaged
>>28652073>youd get it if you were doing thisStill paddles make much more sense and that's why they became standard in hardcore racing sports.
>>28652077Skoda used to be underdog of VAG that many people cheered for, but not anymore. Nowadays it's VWs experimental brand. You get what Audi will get, but few years earlier and cheaper.I like how random software upgrade has huge influence in how car works. Suddenly 1.5l engine works like 2l while somehow using 7.5litres per 100km instead of 8.
>>28652037>skodas are based thoughLolLmao evenSkodas are just VWs, but made even more cheaply, and the new ones rust like hell, nothing based about a poorfag subbrand of gaylord cars
>>28652099>software upgradeNo thanks
>>28652118But you want to have software upgrade if you have modern VAG shitbox. There's a chance this one will unblock full potential of engine that was castered for time of EU's gay emission tests.
>>28652124No, I don't want any gay software in my car at all.
>>28651872>Why does /o/ lovesLEARN ENGLISH YOU DARK BITCH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>28652170You mama love me long time.
>>28651872>Be in control of engine regime>Be able to engine brake>Reeeeeeee
>>28652118>Software upgradeThat's all you do when you swap the whole fucking ecu...
>>28651872You hate manuals because you are not a driving enthusiast, you're an NPC. Clean shifts and rev matching are rewarding and smol cars with manual transmissions are objectively more fun to drive than their automatic counterparts.
You know, having a MT forces the driver to pay attention to what the car is doing, as well as a rough idea of how it works.That’s not a bad thing. All these convenience features lead to brain dead, inattentive drivers.
>Its another ai simulated bait thread for trolling/training llms
>>28651872Because it's the best theft deterrent available. No Tyrone or Demetrius is smart enough to drive a manual trans.
>>28651872I have ADHD and rather fidget with something that involves vehicle control than a distracting screen.

>>28651898>because no engine brakingDCT Master Race wins again!
>>28652170Are these things really that loud or does it just come across that way in video? Is it just that people don't take measures to noise dampen them because "muh weight"?
>>28651872AT was considered a luxury feature in America before trickling down to every car on the market and Americans love cosplaying as poor people
>>28652846Straight cut gears are loud.t. tractor.
>>28652846the straight-cut reverse gear in my w58 was kinda noisy given that there were three rubber boots on top of the shifter hole. definitely louder than the engine. and this was in a cressida; it had a decent amount of acoustic insulation as well.
>>28651872Manual transmission depends mostly on the car. When the point is to be a driver's car, you want manual because that is in essence part of a pure driving experience. If you're driving a crossover or work vehicle, then it doesn't matter.
>>28651872Automatics were made for women. It’s time for your sex change.
>>28652872Luxury is for cocksucking faggots and women. Real men shift their own gears.
