A Comprehensive Guide to Manual, Automatic, CVT, and Semi-Automatic Transmissions

🔑The purpose of the transmission or gearbox in a car is to control the speed and torque of the drive wheels.

🌟Manual transmissions are simple and reliable, but require constant gear shifting, while automatic transmissions provide convenience and ease of use.

🚗CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) offers smooth driving, good acceleration, and fuel efficiency, but can be expensive to repair.

💰Semi-automatic transmissions are a hybrid between manual and automatic, offering a hassle-free shifting experience, but can be prone to malfunctions.

🇺🇸Automatic transmissions are more popular in the US due to ease of use, convenience, and lower fuel prices.
