In 10 years kids will think manual gearboxes were primitive

anyone who isnt stupid knows that manual gearboxes are primitive outdated tech that have no place in the modern car world

there is no 10 years shit the time is now

>>17444386
But where is the fun anon?
I do not give a fuck about outdated, I fall asleep while driving manual.

Unless it's something raw, light weight, and mechanical like an Alfa 4C, automatics bore me to tears.

Why not grab your boyfriend's dick since you clearly have a vagina.

It would be cool if automatic transmissions had some kind of manual override mode where in the event of an electronic failure the operator could still just operate it manually

>>17444509
>electronic failure
Lmao, you think automatics just fail randomly?

Protip: if you fuck up an automatic tranny, you're not taking that car home.

>>17444491
basically you cant drive and need a dick in your hand to have fun

manual is only more fun to people too talentless to know how to handle a car

I hate automatics. I drove a mercedes with paddleshifters recently and I thought it'd be like manual, but NO you can't actually shift when you want because it takes like 5 seconds to actually shift and if it thinks you're revving too high it won't even downshift.
I for one want to actually control my car and not get literally cucked by the transmission.

>>17444386
>stepping through gears instead of just skipping straight to desired gear because paddles
>waiting and hoping a computer thinks it knows exactly what the road layout and conditions are because auto
>praying it matches that info to the correct gear each and every time because auto
>screaming at 6k rpm just cos autotragic
This bs is why manuel reigns supreme over any other transmission. The only thing auto or semi auto is good for is lazy burgers on flat, ideal roads where you have about 1 mile to slow your car down too.

That and genuinely disabled people. Shit is good for giving them independence.

>>17444330
I would consider manuals as primitive as any tool is. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

>>17444569
Paddles on anything other than extremely fast automatics is fucking garbage. My dad traded in his S2000 for a new Z4, and having driven both, that thing is fucking bore. I just left it in automatic mode.

>>17444578
dct is faster even most autos are faster
oh hey someone too stupid to use the auto shifter if it comes down to it

auto is better for pretty much everything these days

>>17444330
In 10 years, they won't even know how to drive, they'll just spastically push buttons on their phone

>>17444386
Primitive but reliable. Unlike, say, CVTs...

>>17444569
The manual mode on automatics is laughable. The computer is still in control and won't do what you tell it to if it doesn't like the looks of you. The computer wants you to put it back in D and leave it alone.

>CVTs exist
>so now all automatic transmissions are unreliable

>>17444599
Yeah because when I drove a family members car up some hills the autofagit sticking to stupid high rpms on a diesel was absolutely fantastic.

>faster
Doesn't matter when the faster shifts are always wrong shifts. Engine braking a shit, hills a shit, fuel economy a shit, control a shit and perhaps the cherry on top being that you can't even have as much fun with them.
At least dct offers some control but not to the same degree, and the computer can override your choices anyway.

Like I said, for disabled or burgers.

>>17444619
Even if you don't use the extreme case of CVTs, auto trannies have more moving parts. More moving parts, more that can go wrong. Simple math. Another thing. When an auto breaks, it's very expensive to fix it usually. In the rare cases when a manual breaks, much cheaper to fix. And you really have to abuse a manual badly for it to break.

>>17444634
Meanwhile in the real world, most transmission fixes are broken clutches and synchros.

I'm already disgusted after seeing posters agreeing they love the sound of a tesla over a lot of sports cars on /pol/.

What went wrong with my generation? Were we not beaten enough as kids?

This here.

Manual is for wannabe racers who didnt get the news that most race cars use sequential anyways.

Mucking sperglords with their stick-autism.

>>17444386
Not really faggot. Driving automatic is boring and gay. You don't get any kind of a feel for the car like you do with manual.

>>17444501
>>17444533
Yes I do. My shitbox is slow so I need a manuel to make it more fun since i'm a poorfag fuck off.

>>17444776
he thinks that shifting and cornering are mutually exclusive and the human mind can only do one at a time, so in his reasoning, manual drivers can't turn for shit and can only shift as an alternative, he's fucking retarded

>>17444774
Oh, so you're just intentionally being retarded. Good to know.

>>17444639
That's because rebuilding autos are such a black art that most mechanics just order up a new one and slam it in and don't even touch the broken one other than to get it out and on a pallet. Manual trannies are repairable. If not by the mechanic there, any half-competent machine shop down the road.

And again you really have to abuse a manual tranny to need to replace the synchros. Same thing with clutches. In normal driving most of them are bulletproof these days.

>>17444805
I'm just stating facts. If you really abuse an auto tranny, it will just give you a harsher 1-2 shift, not completely shit the bed. Even then, you have to abuse them much more than a manual.

All I'm trying to say is that if your point is that autos are prone to failure, take a hard look at your favorite kind of transmission first.

Good boy

>>17444684
mine is fast, i can over rev my dct if i dont upshift it will never let me over rev on downshift
i still have to worry about stalling though

With the advent of self driving cars I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the commuter ownership disappears.

What the fuck is what transmission my car has is any of your business? Drive your self-driving quadruple-clutch Google-robot if it gets your rocks off so nicely.

What do these people have to gain by pushing the automatic-rhetoric so hard besides getting us all in self-driving cars is beyond us.
