Madrid, Spain – A recent online video by mechanic Juan José Ebenezer of Talleres Ebenezer has shed light on the ongoing debate between manual and automatic car transmissions, offering valuable insights for consumers. Ebenezer, known for his automotive expertise, addressed several common misconceptions surrounding both types of vehicles. "Many people still believe that automatic cars consume more fuel or are slower than manual ones, but modern automatic transmissions have evolved significantly," Ebenezer stated in the video. He explained that advancements in technology have led to automatic systems that are nearly on par with, or even surpass, manual transmissions in terms of fuel efficiency and speed, particularly in high-performance vehicles like those in Formula 1. The mechanic detailed the various types of automatic clutches and transmission systems available today, noting that while manual transmissions typically involve a simpler, dry clutch system, automatic transmissions feature more complex components requiring specialized maintenance. "Generally, automatic transmissions are slightly more expensive to maintain than manual ones due to their intricate systems, including filters, connectors, and different types of clutches," he clarified. Ebenezer emphasized that the choice between manual and automatic largely depends on individual driving style and comfort. "For city driving, an automatic car offers greater ease of movement, while manual cars require more gear changes," he advised. He concluded by urging potential car buyers to research the specific transmission type of the vehicle they intend to purchase and consider their intended use to make an informed decision.
