and gear stick moved by a hand or a foot in motor vehicles. Manual 
transmission can deliver better acceleration and fuel economy. Using this 
manual transmission their is a chance for the driver or the person who is 
driving to choose the gear he wants to use based on the condition. Manual 
transmission avoids power requirement as the human works on it.
Automatic transmission:
Automatic Transmission vehicles shifts the gear automatically without the 
help of the driver and changes the gear ratio automatically when the vehicle 
moves on. Here the drivers work is simple as he don’t want to operate on 
gears. Automatic transmission have some set of gears defined by default.

gears and the operation of gears.

transmissions.
