Also, Automatics are better and safer as you can just concentrate on driving and not forgetting using your turn signal when changing lanes If you really can't manage use of the turn signal just because you might also be changing gears, you probably shouldn't be driving in the first place. --- http://www.facebook.com/loaocos/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAfJB3KYYDg <cite>DarkTransient posted [p:905668716] in LOL @ peep...

Tupacrulez 07/24/18 11:05:04 PM #29:	The operation of a torque converter actually helps my argument. No it doesn't, as you cannot roll gently off the sprag clutches in a torque converter like you can the friction plate clutch in a manual. The converter will unlock if you are braking (as their lockup engagement is deactivated by a switch tied to the brakes), but if you are not, the converter can stay locked in many models on a downshift (particularly more modern transmission models) to keep excess heat and slippage in check. Because of this, downshifting can be somewhat harsh and vary the torque to the wheels. This is less pronounced in some models as they will slip the clutches a little to help with the changeover, but it can certainly be very noticeable. Simply chucking a typical auto from the last 30 years from 3rd to 2nd in bad weather can see something as drastic as the drive wheels breaking traction. Someone half decent at throwing gears however, can revmatch a downshift to match the wheel speed and torque amounts to the wheels, which would take result in a reduction in traction. --- Suck less, Rock Moar Have I licked butt hole before?

Modern automatics have gotten good enough that the advantages of manuals don't hold true anymore. Also Formula 1 banned CVTs because they were too good. https://www.racefans.net/2007/05/03/banned-continuously-variable-transmission-cvt/</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Most people don't drive like a grandma with their hands glued to the wheel at all times anyway. Then most people are driving more unsafely than they could or should be. --- Not removing this until Pat Benatar is in Super Smash Bros.

When driving manual, one hand is on the stick. Checkmate No it shouldn't be, as resting your hand on the stick places load on the shift linkage, which often results in wear on the shift forks as they are pressed into the shift hubs inside the transmission gearbox. The plastic forks pads may wear through and this can result in harsh shifting and misalignment of the forks. So no. Your hand shouldn't be on the stick except to shift. Checkmate. Try again son. Right, so when your hand is on the stick then it's not on the wheel. You failed to refute my point and still said "checkmate try again." Sad! "When driving a manual,one hand is on the stick" This is stated as an absolute. You didn't say "one hand is off the wheel for 2 seconds" or "one hand is on the stick during shifting". Because you stayed it as an absolute, my saying that you should not rest your hand on the stick does indeed refute your point. Checkmate again. 2-0. Try again son.

Oh so you're attacking a semantic implication which, as a manual driver, I figure you understood, instead of the core argument? And you're calling that a win? Sad, really. I honestly figured it went without saying that obviously your hand is not permanently on the stick at all times while driving. But I guess it did need to be stated. --- Not removing this until Pat Benatar is in Super Smash Bros.
