Why does /o/ hate manual transmissions?

>>16312350
Because most of them are under 30?

You speak as if /o/ is one entity

>>16312350
because most of them are benchracing/busriding scum who have only played car games.

They think automatic is best because they don't have to learn to drive other than turning the steering wheel and pushing on the gas/brake

>>16312350
Might as well push the car yourself too

>>16312350
I hate it because I can't own one, I've been looking on craigslist but all these fags own auto.

Just got my first manual car Saturday. I like shifting and being able to rev as much as I like. But holy shit reversing is the worst thing ever. I was trying to practice yesterday and stalled at least 10 times trying to pull out of my driveway

>>16312350
Because /o/ hates literally everything, except for the act of hating everything itself. /o/ LOVES doing that.

>>16313110
Really? When I was learning reversing was by far the easiest part. just feather the clutch senpai.

I hate autos because you can't control the gear changes and most slushboxes with paddles take a season to downshift.

They're just irritating. I enjoy stop-start traffic in manual FAR FAR more

Because they suck when your trying to drive your luxobarge through town

I have never driven an automatic car

I couldn't find a standard trans in the car i wanted for a few months so i said fuck it, but im swapping it in later.

>>16313497
It doesn't matter how long or how short the shift time is, it's not what you wanted. When you're doing it yourself it's exactly what you wanted every time.

>>16312350
I dont because i dont suck at driving

Go watch a video of Ayrton Senna and tell me you don't want to do that.

>>16313110
Reversings a right nig at times. If it helps there's some good videos online for us britbong learners that show the pedal work along with some general advice for it. My advice is just to go find an empty car park and reverse into spaces until you nail the pedal work, it's how I got taught reversing.

>>16312362
This, I prefer manuél for real cars but auto for racing games because I'm too much of a poorfag for a steering wheel/pedal setup for the games, and shifting sucks on a controller. If I could afford the steering wheel controller I would use manual.

I would like manual transmissions a lot more if my engine mounts were not fucked and made every shift gay as fuck.

>>16313110
It's like first gear but you go backwards. What kind of trouble could you have with that?

>>16315000
Not really like first. You usually slip and feather it a lot more. Full clutch out is a bit too fast

>>16313110

You almost never fully let go of the clutch when reversing in most situations. It is too fast. You keep it like half way or 3/4 down. While giving it a bit of gas. It's not riding the clutch unless you are going above like 2k rpm which you really should not be. It's the same as first gear if you are pulling away or going into a driveway etc. Fulling letting go of the clutch right away you would probably fly forward.

>>16313689
>Have to shift to neutral at stop
What the fuck are you talking about?

I only drive auto because I got an insane deal on my luxury toyboata

>>16313920
this

feels good to be european, never have to drive some auto cancer unless i rent a car in america

>>16313110
reverse gear is even lower than first gear, so you shouldn't be stalling but you will shoot off if you let go of the clutch

I'm Canadian and i drive a shitbox manual mazda 3. I can't stand driving an automatic car it feels extremely weird and i get anxious anytime i do. Would much rather a manual. Might be because its all i have driven in my first car.

>>16314909
Grid had the best controls for a manual in a racing game.
L Stick for steering
Left Trigger for Brake
Right Trigger for Gas
A for Upshift
X for Downshift

The H pattern shifter with the G27 is garbage, since it has no feel it's really no fun. Paddles are fine for racing games though.

Where do you all live? I live in LA so a manual cat is a bit of a bitch here in all the traffic. Especially going from OC to LA on the 405 and being back to back then 80 then back to back.

Kinda wish I had a rural home so I could have a nice manual and drive cozy

>>16314909
Play around with controls until you find what works for you, manual in games does help a lot.

Americans who can shift behave as if it is some great skill and that their Civic is a race car. The rest don't like it because they can't do it.

Most posters on /o/ are from America.

Gtfo you sad little benchracing shitstain

US driver licenses need to have a fat red line on them stating "AUTOMATIC VEHICLES ONLY" unless prospective drivers pass their driving tests in a car with a manual transmission. It'll serve as good filter.

This way, when people apply to my company and send photocopies of their DLs I'll know exactly which to delete.

>>16312350
what is so big deal ? i drive a manual car because i can't afford a automatic one i never drove a automatic car but from what i heard it is more easily i don't have problems driving manual but i don't see the point why i shouldn't make my life easy if that's posible

>>16316704
>PITA in traffic
Not really. I don't even think about it when I'm driving.

>>16312350
I just love to rev match, the only time I would like to drive an automatic would be in an at least 3h long slowly moving traffic jam.

The thing that tringgers me most is this discussion I have some times:

>Fagboy: Damn I was going so hard yesterday with my new ride, shit is really a beast
>Me: Oh you leased that new car (200HP Audi A1), is it manual or auto?
>Fagboy: Auto obviously, it would not even be possible to manually shit this kind of power.

I actually don't know but this pisses me of. It can't be true can it? I see 560HP Turboed ricers manually shift, so why would it not be possible to shift this piece of shit.

Just tell me this cuntboy is a pussy who just can't shift.

Because the traffic I drive through is fucking stupid. It's not stop and go, it's a goddamn melee. I wouldn't be able to react fast enough to not die four times a fucking week.

>>16312389
Yea, I had the same issue. Had to settle for a for a 2004 V6 Mustang. got a good deal on it though cause he couldn't find anyone that wanted manual lol.

What the hell is rev matching? I've been driving manual cars for 15 years, and I've never heard of it outside the Internet.

>>16320247
When you downshift, you rev up the engine so the rpms reach where they should be in that gear.

>>16320247

Some old muscle from the 80s was too powerful to be made manual at the time, but that's not really a thing today

>>16315397
In most cars it is slightly higher

>>16320615
What does this even mean
You know a manual transmission at any time and age is stronger + simple than a torque converter auto?

They stuck autos in those because America loves them. That has to be the stupidest shit Ive seen said on here.

>>16320642

Probably clutches and difs and shit would blow idk.

>>16313110
Reverse is something people have a problem with? Are you all backing up a fucking hill? I just slowly let off my clutch until I start to back up, then keep it around there. I don't even push the gas unless I have to back out like a mad man.

When manual is useful:
>no traffic, no police

When automatic is useful:
>normal, daily use
>if you want cruise control
>any other circumstance other than when manual is applicable

What is this manual traffic meme? I live in the GTA, greater toronto area and traffic is basically every hour of the day. It's really not that bad. All it takes is planning your driving around the conservation of momentum when driving so you can keep going easily. Don't tailgate everyone and you will have plenty of space to roll in traffic and not have to keep going on and off the clutch or from 1st to 2nd.

>>16321229
>cruise control
Manuals have cruise control faggot

>>16314909
Most games have a manual mode without a clutch which makes it actually usable on a controllet

>not as practical

Drive manual for more than a week and your hand just moves on it's own. It's not a complex process, clutch goes in change the gears clutch goes out. If anything driving automatics unnerves me, my right hand reaches out and grabs air, or the passenger, and my left foot twitches whenever the engine hits a certain RPM.

Also the fact that the whole thing happens automatically and you have no control over it makes me tense. Like, the car will change gears whenever it wants and there is literally nothing you can do about it.

Essentially it comes down to personally preference, but manuals are objectively better for racing so get fucked.

>>16313110

>>16320664
Sorry but my shitbox just sails downhill unless I pretty much floor it when backing up uphill. That's the only problem maneuver for me in San Francisco.

It's probably why the Apex niggers in Melbourne steal high end Euro shit. A pity it won't stop the Lebs from trying to steal Skylines.

Probably the same reason they hate pop ups, lightweight japanese sport cars, and love hybrid crossovers.

There is at least one recorded instance of a carjacker demanding that his victim teach him to drive it.

That being said, I continue to refer to my shifter as an anti-theft device.

Also I suppose replacing my knob with a buttplug has contributed to the effect.
