If something goes wrong with your transmission, then the rest of your vehicle will suffer. In fact, you may not be able to start your vehicle at all. That is why it is important for you to make sure that you maintain it. Manual transmission is the original type of transmission even though most of the vehicles today have automatic transmission. The driver controls the torque transfer to the wheel. The driver also has to manually shift gears.
Automatic transmissions have a more complicated setup. However, they are easier to operate than manual transmission. The transmission automatically shifts gears, which makes it easier for the driver to focus on the road. You have to check your transmission fluid on a regular basis. You can do this by removing the dipstick, cleaning it and then putting it back in the oil. It needs to be refilled if it is not at the appropriate level.
