But then I just fuck my shit upped

Huh, it's almost like the automatic transmission actually has gears and has a clutch.

Oh wait this is Veeky Forums, that second image is full of lies.

that drawing was made to look that complicated. here try this drawing that isn't a fucking caricature.

>and has a clutch.

Technically, my auto has 15 clutches divided into 3 packs.

Obviously it must be more faster because it has more clutches than a standard transmission does.

>How it actually performs

So manual trans question. I am looking at buying a 1987 Chevy r30, 3+3 camper special. It has a 454, it's 2wd, longbed dually.

It has an sm465 and a doug nash splitter behind that. How am I supposed to shift with that setup?
I'd assume it would be 1-2-3-Doug Nash OD
And when towing
1-1DN-2-2DN-3-3DN(OD)

amirite?

Pretty much this.

manualonlyfags confirmed to be afraid of technology and progression

Why the fuck are 2&r and 1&5 paired?

The 4T65E is a fucking piece of trash and does not deserve to be mated to GM 3800 series engines.

What engine is so gutless it needs 5:1 and a torque convertor to launch, but so torquey it can turn a double overdrive? 7:1 ultra wide ratios are shit.

so fucking true

cvt is simpler.
so it must be better.

this referring to the dude who got a tattoo of a """""turbo"""""?

Manuals last longer, fail more gracefully, don't fuck your engine over, and don't move themselves forwards without any input.

kek
i made that years ago :D

If you say so. I personally don't think CVT is better. Far from it.

You do know that almost every torque converter has a lock-up clutch, right?
