...Manual Transmission vs Automatic Transmision Ever since the automotive revolution began, there has been a battle between manual and automatic transmissions. Why are stick shift cars so popular anyway? They are more difficult to drive, and one must be skilled to drive them. Why not choose an automatic easy ride, which can turn driving in to comfort, especially while driving in heavy traffic? The truth is, driving a stick shift offers benefits that automatic does not. People who drive stick shift cars know the difference and the advantages of having total control of one’s car engine; people who drive cars with automatic transmissions do not. Cars with automatic transmissions are a great way to drive around because they do not require much driving skill. People who do not like to drive usually will choose an automatic transmission which is one of the main problems. People who drive cars with automatic transmissions often do not pay as much attention as they should. With an automatic car it makes it easier for one to text, eat, do make up, or even read while driving which can lead to an accident or even death. Cars with automatic transmissions have improved through modern chips that have developed better shifting and response when the driver just presses on the gas. Even with the modern advances, automatic transmission cars encounter problems with the transmission more often than stick shift cars. Although automatic transmissions are easier to drive, they are not as fun because...

...Every person at least once in their lifetime must make the decision to choose between a challenging manual transmission or the convenience of an automatic transmission and it’s often quite the gamble. However, driving a manual car is ideal over an automatic because of the many beneficial long term and short-term effects it has on a person and their life. According to recent studies, “Most manual transmissions can deliver better fuel economy and acceleration” (“Manual vs. Automatic Transmission: Save Money”). Better fuel efficiency and drive performance all come with owning a manual car as well as maintenance cost, driving awareness, control, and many other things that one would look for when purchasing a car. While an automatic transmission does have its advantages, buying a car with a manual transmission gives not only a lifelong skill but also extra money in the bank and more gas in the tank. One of the most popular speculations of driving a...

...car. First, General Motors was trying to create a new type of car to satisfy consumer’s desire for a strong and faster type of car. Second, it was General Motor’s way to compete with Ford’s new Mustang. When the Camaro first came out, it was classified as a compact car. However, they later changed the classification to a pony car, and it has been seen more as a touring car, sports car, or muscle car. Along with the changes in names, there have also been many changes in style, technology, features, and specifications. General Motors is now in production of their 5th generation Chevrolet Camaro. On January 6th, 2006, General Motors started brainstorming ideas and concepts for this new generation car with a new body, wheelbase, engine, transmission, suspension, and much more. After two years of designing, engineering, manufacturing, and problems, on July 21, 2008, General Motors officially unveiled the production of the 2010 5th generation Camaro. This new generation Camaro was able to enhance or surpass most, if not all, of the 4th generation’s features. Starting off with the body, the 5th generation created a slicker, more aerodynamic, and arguably a more appealing body. Then they created a 110.5 in wheelbase, which was 9 in longer than the previous generation, which gives more stability at higher speeds as well as helps the car preform higher on inclined and declined surfaces....

...Market Scenario With the advent of vehicles like Mahindra Quanto, Premier Rio and Renault Duster launched in the country, the Compact SUV market is making a name for itself with more and more consumers moving towards this segment. Claiming to give an experience of both the worlds; a compact premium hatchback and an entry level sedan, the makers of these SUVs are pitching the product to appeal to a younger, professional and lifestyle oriented users. According to Vivek Nayer, CMO, Automotive Division, Mahindra and Mahindra, the brand that launched Quanto two months back, says that Mahindra is trying to create a new segment as the market for compact SUV was non-existent in India. He explains that this segment will appeal to hatchback owners, entry level sedan owners and SUV owners as well. There are areas and scope for improvement in each of these segments. For example, he says hatchbacks are compact, have decent mileage and have easy manoeuvrability but do not have the presence, high ground clearance or the space of an SUV. “We believe that the compact SUV is the best of both worlds, it allows the user to get the feel of both the worlds. It is compact from the outside, easy to manoeuvre in the city, and at the same time spacious from the inside,” adds Nayer. Change to compact Umang kumar, Co-Founder and CEO Gaadi.com affirms that the segment has gained popularity, but only over the past few years in India. “People in India now indulge in more outdoor activities compared to...

I gave up because nobody had patience to teach me .No good teacher… Luckily, I came to England, here I came to know that you can drive automatic gear car. The very next thing I did was to get provisional licence then as we got bit financially stable we brought a car and `L `plate. I live at Rolleston Street it’s very busy down there, so my husband use to take me to Glen field Area where he tried to teach me.

...faster. Some spend countless amounts of money and hours on building a drag car to get that tenth of a second faster than the car next to them in the lineup. Those who do not have a lot of money to put into their car but thirst for fast times have an even bigger struggle… Those without all the money to spend on the dream to go faster have to save up and spend cautiously as well as be creative on achieving faster times and fixing the car when things start to go wrong. What Is my Topic? Race cars have always been around and the desire to go faster is bigger than ever with people doing crazy motor swaps and making incredible and unthinkable times in a quarter mile. Making a car is easy from the surface, all you need is: motor, transmission, wheels and tires, and some electronics. What really sets cars apart are all the little physically but major components such as internals of a motor: pistons, rods, crankshaft, and camshaft. What Is the Problem Being Investigated? How to successfully build a low cost and reliable drag car while still being able to run fast quarter mile times. One of the best ways to save money the quickest is to turn a daily driven car into the race car for the weekends. This alone can save thousands of dollars as long as the frame and shell is in good condition. Why Do You Need to Investigate this Problem? I need to investigate this problem because I am trying to build a race car for the track on the weekends but to daily drive...

...Process Analysis Have you ever wanted to learn at least the basics of how to drive a manual transmission? If so, it a process that takes time but once you have it down, it’s a skill that you will never lose. Almost like a second nature. Learning how to drive a manual transmission opens an entirely new world of driving. Your mpg increases, you have better reliability, and you also have enhanced control over the vehicle. When learning how to drive a manual transmission there are thirteen main basic steps that you need to learn. First you need to get on level ground. When learning how, it is best if you can roll down the windows, this will help you better hear the engine sound so that you can know how when to adjust the gears also, don't forget to wear your seat belt. Secondly, you will need to learn to identify the pedals. In a manual car, there are three pedals. The pedal to the far right is the gas, also known as the accelerator, the middle pedal is the brake and to the far left is the clutch. The third step, one of the most important steps, is to learn what the clutch does. The clutch disengages the engine from the driveshaft allowing you to shift the gears on your transmission. Before you switch gears, the clutch must be depressed. Fourth step is to find the clutch pedal - the one to the far left - when you have identified the clutch begin to press it down and hold it to the floor. Also, it is a good idea to get used to steadily and slowly releasing the clutch...

Discussion here: https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=292031897492759 **please don't ask me why only torque but power graph is not shown. **go google the relationship between power and torque A typical 4-2-1 makes good gain from low-mid rev range to rev cut, without loosing the low range. A typical 4-1 makes huge gain from mid rev range to cut, but loosing the low range slightly. SO WHICH IS BETTER? This is a question you should ask yourself. GRAPH 2) Typical revolution vs velocity relation for a 5-speed manual transmission check previous photo. discuss here: https://www.facebook.com/drexchan/posts/279650262057549 **revolution is RPM lah... **velocity is speed lor.... **applicable for automatic transmission too, don't ask. Now, check Graph 2, compare that to your driving style, see which rev range you use most (in normal driving, highway cruising, and sprint). Then compare that with Graph 1, see which type of extractor suits you. Situation A: You are doing a sprint, you will only use zone A (1k rpm to 3k rpm) once or twice and from 3rd gear on wards you will be using zone B (3k rpm to 6k rpm). So you want a 4-1 because it gains more in that range. Whatever gain in zone A (from a 4-2-1) is near to useless to you, and the gain in zone B from a typical 4-2-1 is lower than that from a typical 4-1. So a 4-1 is better for sprint. Situation...
