Why are manual transmission cars faster than automatics?
manual transmissions use a clutch to transfer power from the tranny to the fly wheel. this connection is completely mechanical in a manual tranmission vehicle making the car faster then an automatic... automatics use someting called a torque converter that uses a liquid connection to transfer power from the fly wheel to tranny... this liquid connection used in a torque converter causes some of the power coming from the engine to be wasted.... this is alos why manual transmission cars are more fuel efficient. if you have any questions just ask me. thanks
