In the twenty-first century the automatic transmission has become widely available, making the need to operate a car with a manual transmission non-essential. The automatic is the most popular type of car because it is much easier to activate. Before the automatic car was manufactured, only manual cars were available. Many people will never have the chance to learn to drive a manual transmission in their lifetime. So to better understand a manual car and how it works you must first understand the importance of how to drive it, how it works and the three key concepts: energy, work and torque. To learn to drive a manual car the car requires a lot of practice due to simple grease, there is much more to it than an automatic. The difference between the two types of cars is that the automatic one does all the work for you, while with the manual one you have to do it yourself. Some parts of a manual car are the clutch (4, 5 or 6 speed), the flywheel and the lever. Some other parts of both cars, such as the transmission, petals, pistons and crankshaft, make up both cars. To drive a manual transmission you must first start the car. To do this you need to fully depress the clutch and insert the key into the gearbox. Once the car is started you need to release the emergency brake. In the meantime, be careful not to release the clutch otherwise you will stop. In this case you need to turn the car off and restart it, making sure it is turned on first every time you leave. When starting with manual control you need to give enough gas and slowly release the clutch until the car starts to pull. Give the car more gas to accelerate to the desired speed. Watch the revs so that when they get to about three you release the throttle completely. It is necessary to release the gas slowly and... middle of the paper... popular in our generation. Four speeds seem to have lost popularity as they are not as fast or efficient as five speeds, let alone six speeds. Many people think that driving a stick shift is much more fun and enjoyable because you are constantly doing something. All your attention is on the road, so you know when to change gear and what your car needs to do. When driving with a manual transmission you change all gears manually. This means you are doing all the work for your car, this actually saves gas. While driving an automatic car has the car changing all the gears for you, this in turn consumes more fuel. All different types of cars can be manual, but six-speed manuals are the most complex. The knowledge of how to operate manual cars has disappeared. Before automatic cars were invented in the early 1900s, they just existed
