Automatic transmissions don't turn 600rom because the pump dosent provide enough pressure to keep the clutch pack held. So if you applied power at a low rpm the automatic would slip.
Countless others? Many of us have no trouble counting, especially when we are talking numbers of less than 10.Actually the thread shows a few of you that practice this method while countless others say otherwise.
Right, but you are completely unable to substantiate that claim, probably because it's false.I said I don't do it because its terrible on the engine.
My truck accelerates just fine from 40 MPH in 6th gear, on many of the roads that I drive. Your "generalized statements" are based on your opinion, not fact.Does that say "my truck"? It's a generalized statement. Yes RPMs will slowly, like molasses, climb while engine is telling you to F'n stop, lol:dontknow:
Andy, I'm at 112,500 on
My truck with almost 60k as a 6 speed and almost every vehicle I've owned has been a manual bro. So 40 years "Real World Experience" I have under my belt.
So you ask me why a manual Trans exists and that its not for performance? Well I disagree again! A manual transmission exists because it was the first transmission and as vehicles and technology evolved the automatic (fluid driven) Trans came about.
So now that that's outta the way lets look at pros and cons real quick.
PROS:
1.Direct drive via clutch/pressure plate allow more power transmitted through the driveline to tires! Been tranny of choice for all sports/muscle cars for decades due to power output and control of engine RPMs.
2. Efficiency is increases in a manual due to the direct drive and extra gears. ( this covers your "Save gas on a 500+HP engine" theory. (Again technology has created more efficient Autos with lock up converters and 5-8 speeds but you still have power loss of fluid drive
3. Cost is much less expensive to manufacture.
4. Has way less parts, much better longevity records, ease of maintenance, less expensive to replace.
5. No need for pumping of fluid through tranny or accompanying coolers and lines
6. Better when pulling/towing due to gear options and driver control of gears.
Cons:
1. Learning to drive a manual isn't for everyone
2. Driver has to change each gear.
3. Autos shift faster due to driver involment in gear changes
4. Concentration factor is less with a manual due to driver involvement
5. Manual leaves one hand on wheel while other is selecting gears
6. Stop and go traffic and hills are hard on manual
Hope this answers your question to your liking bud.
So you are counting your time as an infant as real world experience that applies to this conversation??
Yessir being I was learning about engines as a child sir. Very good experience IMO! So yes I count it!
Just wanna say CONGRATS to the OP for posting a thread that nobody could have imaged would have over 100 replies. :burnout:
You absolutely have to be joking! At under 1 year old you claim you learned and retained how to work on an engine!! You are phenomenal!!

That was luggin at 25...not luggin at 35. You put it in another gear before letting it run in 6th at 35. You also didn't show the grade you were driving on or elevation. For all we know you were driving up a 12% grade.
