Originally posted by colonelcrisp the only difference between an automatic transmisison and a manual is that a manual uses a clutch to transfer power from the engine to the gearbox, that and it uses a throw linkeage to shift gears. auto transmissions use a torque converter to transfer power from the engine and use solenoid valves to control gear shifts.

Well... I'd say there's quite a few more differences than that.... but these are the basic ones.

Planetary gears, for instance.

from a pure function standpoint those are the main two.... if i wanted to nit pick there is a pissload more parts to an automatic transmission than a manual.

+1...Steptronic ftw. I abuse it at times, though...

EDIT: So yeah...automatic most of the time, but I switch it over when I feel like it aka when violating far more laws than usual.
