User Manual Guide

There are benefits and drawbacks to each type of transmission. Deciding whether your next car should be an automatic or a "stick" should be determined by several factors. You do not have to be a trained mechanic in order to understand the basic pros and cons of each transmission type. You do however have to know which type of transmission is best for your driving needs. The team at Honda of Marylandcompare automatic and manual transmissions to help you determine which is right for you.

Automatic Transmission

In the most basic of explanations, the transmission in your car allows the engine to go through a range of gears. Without a transmission, the engine could not operate in a range of speeds making it difficult if not impossible to drive as you are accustomed.

An automatic transmission allows for the shifting of gears "automatically". In other words, the driver is not required to do anything in order for the car to work through the necessary gears. Honda dealers in Maryland on average sell more cars equipped with an automatic transmission due to the convenience and ease of use.

Manual Transmission

A manual transmission has the same function as an automatic, however in this case the driver shifts gears by manipulating a clutch and gear shifter. Driving a car with a manual transmission requires a bit more participation from the driver to go through the range of gears.

Which is better?

Your decision to buy a vehicle equipped with an automatic or manual transmission can be made by looking at power, fuel economy, maintenance and personal needs.

Here at Honda of Baltimore we encourage drivers to explore all of their options before making that decision. Generally speaking a manual transmission will get you the best power from your engine, better fuel economy (when shifting properly) and lower maintenance and repair costs. Vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions are slightly more expensive to purchase compared to those with manual transmissions and the maintenance/repair costs are slightly higher as well. Why then are automatic transmissions found in the majority of cars available today? To put it simply- convenience. Driving a vehicle with a manual transmission requires more participation from the driver which can be constant in stop and go traffic. Consider your individual needs and abilities before deciding which type of transmission is right fo r you.
