Basic MathAutomatic transmissions and manual transmissions achieve the same goal: They use power to turn the wheels of a car. However, there are some differences between the two. An automatic transmission makes a car easy to drive; but stick shift drivers believe that automatics aren't quite as fun. There are other differences as well. A car with a manual transmission usually uses less fuel. This is because the driver has greater control over the car; it is the driver, not the car, who is "in the driver's seat." A manual transmission also has more power and can accelerate faster. This is why race cars have manual transmissions.

A. Sequential
B. Problem-solution
