Ponders SG

Take note also not all cars transmission are the same.

Some D3 or D2 means they are using D3 or D2 only.

Some is D3 = gear 1 2 3.

Advantages of auto transmission is that the vehicle can accelerate in one continuous movement and is less likely to stall when e-braking.

Hence it has become the norm for city buses. In fact, they've gone one better as their gear boxes are button-operated. Evan a retard could operate it. No offence to bus captains, though.

kid you certainly don't get what I mean... i think you better get your license first and try driving cars of both transmission, you'll understand then...

I'm not comparing the makes of cars, but their transmissions.... have you wondered why most sports cars are MT and not AT? This is the kinda difference I'm talking about....

Hey kid.. advice from uncle..

Stop posting will make u look less foolish.

Seventay.. consider folding your left leg when u drive an auto car (especially when u just convert from a manual one). Cos when driving manual, you need to step on clutch when u brake, this very often become a natural reflex. However, if you do this on an auto car, your left foot will find the brakes instead and accidents can happen.

I find that folding left leg will help "supress" that kinda "reflex". Hope this works for u.

Gd luck.

I really agree with this man...for most drivers this is the case unless u drive both auto and manual then u'll adapt very quickly....

For me, I just got this feeling that my left leg is gone. Wasn't there! Shocked The only issue for me when I drive an auto is the mind work I have to go through when I stop the car. For manual, I will just shift neutral and pull hand-brake. Mr. Green

obviously silv3rgal is making a direct comparison between manual and auto transimissions. stop taking every chance to make a retort on everything others say to make yourself look intelligent, because it makes people sick. look, i'm not being biased, because i'd say sometimes you do show that you know your stuff that even i can learn from you.

but, there's such a thing as humility.

haha folding of left leg? behind the right leg and not on the right leg i believe??? Laughing

come to think of it, i think i do fold my left leg behind at times unknowingly, like how you cross your legs sitting down. out of comfort Mr. Green
