In last week’s article, we differentiated between manual and automatic transmissions.
Sadly, we had no clear winner on which is best (because everyone has their opinion and taste), but, irrespective of your preference, how well do you know how to work whatever gearbox your car is equipped with?
Drivers of manual cars might claim to be the “real” drivers, but do they know of double-declutching, heel-and-toe shifting, engine braking, left-foot braking, power-shifting or “crash” shifting? Power peaks? Torque peaks? Shift points?
