- Automatic, Manual, everything in between, and everything outside, there are quite a few types of transmissions, so let’s cover the 5 most commonly used transmissions in cars, Torque Converter Automatics, Stick Shift Manual, CVT’s, DCT’s, and SMG’s. So without further ado, go watch the video and stop reading the description!
OH, and I already know someone is going to be upset about me hating the SMG, but before you say, "try it before you knock it". YA BOI HAS TRIED IT, AND YA BOI WILL KNOCK IT. I've had to go from one M6 to another in search of a SMG that wasn't complete dog turd, but low and behold, such does not exist. Even at 50,000 miles, those transmissions love to self destruct on themselves! You're never safe! It's a shame that beautiful V10 had to be mated to such an awful fragile POS. If I could, I'd still buy a M6 anyway, but I'd DCT swap that mofo. The newer DCT in the new M6 is nice, but the lame TTV8 in those sound god awful. Like BMW, how did you mess up a Twin Turbo V8 sound? If only the best of both worlds could combine...BMW please make a M6 that has a V10 and DCT.
That's all I could ever want from this world...that and a Lamborghini Diablo of course.

Pump action transmission
you pull a bolt to disengage the clutch, pump forward or backward to change gears, and for reverse you pull a lever.

Oof

Deport him.
I remember a guy in high school said he had an auto and a manual in his car. Shut him down quickly when I asked him if he had a clutch pedal... He had an auto that he could manually select gears in and thought he was so cool.
Drew Drieling lollolololol
Drew Drieling I have that on my car and it’s kind of fun for harmless practice as I do not trust myself with a manual transmission. But yeah it’s not too impressive.

Manuals may be bad for gas mileage these days or slower however it makes any slow car feel fast! Every time I rev match my 5 speed manual hyundai elantra i get a smile on my face!
Same with my 2004 Ford Fiesta!
i see shifting as more of an annoyance, closest i've come is the manual shift on my car but even that's fairly annoying when im shifting in that mode but its more fun when i let the car shift in that mode, for some reason it seems a bit faster than when i leave it in "S"
When I started to learn driving I was a bit annoyed by the clutch operating, especially for hill start, but now I just love operating the clutch and the stick. Doing launches, rev matching, downshifting for more power and skipping gears while braking or for low-rev economical driving makes you feel you are in total control of the car and makes it really fun.
Yes! I have a 5 speed mustang V6 and even though it's slow it's still a blast to drive around, even in LA traffic where I can practice downshifts haha

Manual is still the most fun, hands down. I know it's not the most effective anymore, but all you have to do to accelerate in an auto is mash the accelerator. In a manual, you get the satisfaction of slamming the shifter from one gear to the next. Not to mention, manual transmissions open you up to techniques like clutch kicking. In short, automatic for performance, manual for fun. I don't know about you, but the decision is pretty damn easy for me to make. I mean, what's the point of performance if you're not having fun?
If your slamming your shift lever you are doing it wrong.
@@zuestoots5176 That's just the best word I can think of to describe how I shift when I'm trying to shift as quick as possible. I'd say I kick the clutch pedal, since that's pretty similar to what I do, but I know I'm not clutch kicking, so I won't say that
I wish they're exclusively given tbh
^ this tbh
I think I drive a manual much differently from most people, for me it is all about how soon can I up shift and not bog the engine? I have to be careful the occasional time I downshift for acceleration, as I'm so used to shifting early, I never remember what speed the different gears redline at! "I want to pass this truck who is only going 50," shifts from sixth into fifth and the engine hardly revs any higher, "OK, guess that's the wrong gear." Though under shifting is still probably better then the alternative: downshifting too much and having the engine explode at 10,000 RPM!
CVTs are ingenious. When I was a kid, I used to sit around thinking about how to make a continuous transmission without realizing people already had.
I don’t understand the hate tbh
@@turbo_marc I kinda get it when people say they're less fun, or criticise reliability, but tbh they're the future. Infinite gear ratios means you can stay at peak power all the time, or stick to lower RPMs for that extra fuel efficiency. Great for race cars and road cars alike.
@@nerd_nato564 i had no idea that cvt was good for race cars, but really cvt reliability is kind of a roll of the dice.
@@turbo_marc Yeah, with CVT you can stay at peak power pretty much all the time, it's insane. The big thing that's stopping it from being used more is reliability. Also rules, I guess.

For fun, in racing, autos or sequentials will be faster in modern cars, but still MANUALS FOR THE WINNNNN
Yes because muscle cars with automatics are for lazy people, Plus it's what makes it a muscle car in the first place
Not necessarily the best. Depends on someone's lifestyle. Not very effective on track but in normal day use is pretty standard

I watched this thinking I knew a lot about transmissions (having put one in my project car, and being a car lover) but I actually learned quite a bit from this
im sorry i cant refer to myself as a car guy, but i wish to be one day.. 've been following cars for the past couple of months and your channel is amazingly good.. quality content.. keep it up, regards from croatia
This is very informative. Thanks bladed :)
Manual, and DCT are great. Some autos are fine. Everything else when it comes to transmissions suck.
Especially CVTs, CVT's are like a Super Overpowered Object in a Video Game which Everyone Boycotts. They're Stupid Efficient, They're Easier to use than a Big Red Button with Instructions on its face and are also Quiet as a Mute Cat.
I own a automatic car (1979 Chevy Camaro) and a manual (1970 Volvo Amazon) and i have to say, the automatic transmission is slightly better than the manual because when i hit the gas, the car just launches but the Amazon just thinks about it a little bit and then goes, probably something is worn out in the gearbox. And if you havent noticed, im into old cars. And if you own a classic car or any car which isnt a hybrid and someone says like ''Your polluting the enviroment'', which has been said to me ALOT, just dont listen to them because in the end, you are doing what you like and you are happy doing it 😉 Hello from a car enthusiast from Finland 😊
I have a 2008 Lancer GTS with a CVT, and if you dont like the "soullessness" of most CVTs, I think you would enjoy the Lancer's CVT, as it also has an option to shift into a more DCT-style of driving, as it has both paddleshifters and a simple "stick" that you push forwards or backwards to shift between 6 preset gear ratios. The CVT can be fun, as you can hold it right at the point of power endlessly, which for my lancer is about 3500 rpm, or you can shift it into "manual" and have the fun that brings.
A sequential manual can still be a true manual. Some of them do still have a manually operated clutch, but you only need it for getting going from a standstill. That is unless you consider automatic fuel cutoff and rev-matching to be too much automation.
Also. Basically any kind of automatic can have paddle shifters (even some ordinary family SUVs have them now). And basically all of them do auto rev-matching. These features are not exclusive to the DCT.
Huh
I'm pretty sure he got misled with the sequential manual when making the video because the BMW SMG isn't a sequential manual it's an Electrohydraulic manual which is a manual with an auto hydraulic clutch but the BMW name is a little stupid for the SMG
It’s 4:07 in the morning here in Sweden. There’s always time for some -Miata- Transmission videos.
Couldn't agree more about the CVt lol, especially those early 2000s CVT.
I had a 2003 Honda Fit. Tuned it with a piggyback (put a few maps on the ECU), headers, downpipe, and HKS exhaust. It's now made around 118whp, It's quite fast and also much more responsive. HOWEVER, that CVT couldn't put the power down instantly from full stop because the differential is fighting with the gearbox on how to put the power down.
But when you get to a certain rpm or speed, the car is actually quite responsive and a bit fun. Honda's usually get their CVTs right, but not Nissan though or Toyota. but a simple piggyback, a tune, and some upgrades can make the car fun but not as fun as dual clutch, manuals, or even traditional Automatics.
but at least my car still gives me good fuel mileage after installing all that mods lol, so issokay.
Hi my lovely car youtuber. I just wanted to say that i knew very little about cars yesterday in spite of me owning a car. When me and some of my car friends got together yesterday they were amazed by all the things i knew about cars, however i had only watched a few videos on your channel rofl.
5:22 anybody else find that a little weird?
The video clip?
Whaddaya mean? I thought that's how everybody drove!
some fast and the furious shifting
Thank you for a genuinely informative video. To be quite honest, I thought that there were really only two types of Transmissions before this. Now I think that myself 10 minutes ago was very stupid
The fun thing about CVT specially the frist ones made by DAF was they did not have a reverse speed block and caused em to go a little to fast backwards, aka same speed forward was also available going backwards.
This meant a DAF/volvo 66 with had em could do 80 kmh backwards.
The only experience I've ever had with a manual car was when I test drove the Kizashi Susuki at the dealership(they taught me on the spot, even though I didn't buy it). It was a CVT but it had a clutch. I actually did that at two different dealerships. lol. Wasn't hard to learn, just put the pedal down and shift apparently somewhere halfway for both the gas and clutch. I did stall trying to reverse however. I've had a g35 03 coupe, and two kia optimas, none of which were manuals, but I plan on buying a 2018 Kia Stinger GT2 later this year so I guess I wont be accustomed to driving a manual for a very very long time.
You could have talked about sequential found on supercar/racecar with paddle clutch for first gear.

I'm 17 and my generation doesn't give a shit about cars. I was talking about my E46 M3 (Manual) and my "friend" asked "Hey, hey, have you ever reached 6th gear before?!?!" I cringed so damn hard. Does that thought process come from video games?? I still don't understand...
I mean, If you live in the US, you might have to deal with these kinds of people. Im 17 too and all people around me are usually car guys and enjoy cars and talking about them in general. But i live in Romania. Maybe you dont have luck.
Lucci Also 17, was talking to another person in my class and she told me about how she doesn't have winter tires(in Canada), she also does at least 30 km over the speed limit in crowded streets and texts while driving through her neighbourhood. That's juat a hint of how much kids at my school care about cars.
Not true you just don't know any of the car guys around you, might have to look a bit but they're around, every where where I live.
@@SomethingoldenYT At that point she doesn't care about her own and others safety not just about cars.
@@kushtalin9180 yea there are car guys but 99% of them are shitty
CVTs sound awesome because they seem to operate in reality the way I play racing games - press W and the car goes forward, and the more you press the faster it goes.
I just want to say something about SMGs. The ones we find in BMWs, especially, M5 E60 and M6 E63 are not really SMGs but simple clutch robotized transmission. We find SMGs in some competition cars or mainly motorcycles.

I love the idea of a sequential transmission. Idk why they're not more prevalent. Eventually I'm going to build a massive big block with a dogbox behind it. Motorcycles have used them for years and nitrous and turbo ZX14 and Hayabusas have used them in stock form with huge power.

As someone who's tested their own ability... Driving a 6.7L Powerstroke F550, with a 6-speed (low gear), a '98 2.0L Honda CR-V (with a 5-speed manual), and a '92 5.0L F150 (with a 5-speed manual), all in the same day, for a couple weeks... Made me love the "traditional" manual. I used to average 33+ mpg in the Honda, the F550 pulled trailers, with landscaping equipment, like it was nothing, and the F150 dusted a newer (05-09) 5.7L Triton F150, a '98 Dodge Ram Sport, with the 5.9L Magnum... And all because a manual transmission.

as much as i fear the catastrophic and untimely failure of my smg and wish my car was a true 6spd... when it works and you are really hammering on it they are pretty fun and shift fairly quick
CVT is actually fairly standard on two-wheeled vehicles. Also it is invented by DAF, a formerly Dutch car manufacturer who only used CVT and manual gearboxes.
The cars got the rep for being insanely fast in reverse (just as fast as forward = over 80 km/h)and were actually raced that way on Dutch national television (it's why they have gone from 'everywhere' to serious crown jewels in some collections, they got wrecked every week for over ten years!).
Also they had the moniker of 'Granny's car' because you didn't have to manually shift gears.

My family owns a 2004 Ford Fiesta (European model) with a SMG transmission. It gets good fuel economy and it's easier to drive than a manual, but neither me or my dad really like driving it. It's very weird when you have go take off quickly or starting uphill, as the car reacts in weird way. Sometimes it quickly dumps the clutch making the wheels spin. Sometimes, it doesn't release it at all and you can smell it later.
I enjoy driving my old, manual crapbox a lot more lol

I dont know if anyone does this, but I love driving my automatic transmission car in the "semi-automatic" shift mode. I feel like it makes driving more fun and it almost makes it feel like a game. Like trying to get as much torque as possible with the upshifts. I know its kind of lame in the grand scheme of things, but I find it very satisfying. I also feel more in control of the car when I drive compared to the fully-automatic gear shifting.

One tiny thing that automatics have over manuals...
Launch control
With manual you are controling your launches yourself...
You can still have launch control on a manual (although it won't be as precise because you still have to properly use the clutch) and if you don't have it then you can always just use your feet
I own an SMG e46 in Phoenix yellow with a dinan S2 performance package.
Love it loads more than the 6MT one i had before it.
SMG is fun ;P
I never knew there were so many types of transmissions! Here in the UK I only ever see manual however neither I nor anyone I know was ever taught about double clutcing or rev matching or anything which seems odd now i know about it.

The automatic transmission has more moving parts but it’s really not too difficult on how it works. Everything works off of fluid pressure faster the engine spins faster the fluid pump builds pressure and with the help of the engine computer and transmission computer it determines by driver feedback of the gas pedal and engine rpms and speed of the vehicle when too shift by open the solenoid valves releasing that fluid pressure to engage the clutch bands and hold that gear in place. The torque converter is also responsible is acting like a clutch and allows slippage when vehicle is in gear and stoped at a traffic light.
I hate to bring back such an old video, but actually, the sequential manual transmission is basically a manual transmission that has the gears ordered to actuate with the rotation of a shift barrel, instead of cables like a regular manual, as well as (most of the time) dog ring engagement, making it basically only suitable in racecars like the 911 GT3 Cup car, as well as giving it the unique ability to clutchless upshift. With all this said, it is the same type of transmission like you'd find in a bike. The shift peg rotates the selector drum, which moves the dogs to the other side to engage the next gear. However, the SMG in the BMW E60 M5 and M6 of the same era is basically just an electronically actuated single clutch manual (like the Lamborghini E-gear in the Aventador).

I remember when I was a carwash porter at a BMW dealership, and I was in either an M5 or an M6 with that odd transmission. It was cool, and fun and all. But, I can totally see why people hate it. It's a bit clunky to me.
Congrats on 250k bladed!!!!

wow, perfect timing for my transmission and driveline exam XD
My Ford Focus has a dual clutch. The module had to be replaced under warranty but now it shifts perfectly.
I have never heard of an SMG transmission until you mentioned about it, Bladed.
This was just a thought I've had all day, but maybe you should do a video on different types of tires and which conditions to use them best. And which states you'd recommend them in like NY where it sees all four seasons compared to a state in the west coast like Cali where it's relatively hot all year-round.
I don't know what SMT is, but sequential trensmission is one of the best thing to have in a race car.
And super common in motorbikes.
And in british deathmachines like Ariel, or Caterham.
Or in track oriented cars.
Or in Pagani Hiura. Or F1 cars.
So, in fact if you are serious about having a competitive trackmachine, you probably will end up with a sequential.
But it sucks for daily driving, thats true too.
I was shifting through gears in the automatic using the paddle shifters and I thought d stood for initial d, so when I put it in d I tried to drift. My tires aren't happy and I'm happy I didnt crash.
Sentra owner here, CVTs are efficient and soulless but the belt is their Achilles heel. It's made of metal and as trans fluid breaks down and mile rack up, you will get belt slippage and that can royally mess things up on the inside.
My sentra has eco, normal and sport modes. I used to switch between these bc that's what I thought it was meant for.
Please don't ever do this. I'm glad I had a warranty with my car bc I'm 99% sure this is what wore the belt out so quick. It started slipping.
The other thing to know about CVT is it absolutely needs fluid changes. I was told early on that "it's a sealed system and doesn't need trans fluid changes". That is a load of horse manure.
The oil we put in cars is also a sealed system and will eventually break down and get all chunky. That's why we change it. Don't neglect lube for your car. It will deteriorate and will need flushing/ replacing. It absolutely needs service and you should check your manual and try to follow as rigidly as you can to manufacturer spec.
Remember that warranty I mentioned, that got me a new transmission bc I went nearly 78K without transmission maintenance. Learn from my mistakes, please.
Another thing, don't run CVT without warming up. The trans fluid does a worse job at lubing when it's cold. It has an operation temperature. Improper temperature mixed with higher RPM will ruin the belt quickly. It's not really made for high RPMs, it's strength is maintaining highway speed at lower RPM.
The sweet spot for my Sentra is about 80MPH. Any faster and it's working too hard, any lower and you're leaving speed on the table.
Thank you for reading this. Please treat your CVT well and remember to change the fluid on time according to manufacturer spec.
CVT's have been around a while. The late 60's if memory serves me correct. It's an interesting yet brittle design and they have been limited to smaller vehicles for a reason.
I'll stick with my manual transmissions. They get me where I need to go and double up as an anti theft device.
1958 was the first produktion car whit cvt/variomatic and been developed in early 50s
I haven't been to this channel for a while, good to be back
I got a 2003 Toyota mr2 spyder with an smg I personally prefer the traditional 3 pedal manual, but it’s still fun
Love Your Vids...keep it up🔥❤️
