Engineering Explained: How Manual Transmissions Work And Why They're Better

Here’s everything you need to know about manual transmissions, how they work, and their many advantages

4. What are the advantages of a manual transmission?

2. Cost
  • Less complexity and fewer materials leads to a lower cost. This is a win for the consumer who is savvy with both of his/her feet, as manual vehicles are often significantly cheaper to buy than their automatic counterparts.
5. Bump starting?
  • No Problem, if you don’t quite have the juice to start your motor with a manual transmission vehicle, you can start the engine simply by moving the vehicle (tell your passenger to push, you’re giving them a ride after all) and popping the clutch. This forces the engine to spin just like a starter motor does, and you can be on your way.
