Auto v. Mechanics "

The limits of the former Soviet Union had the firm opinion that this driver goes only to "mechanics" do not allow the car for him to decide how and when to burn the clutch. In addition, it is believed that the manual transmission is reliable. If anything, "mechanics" could fix itself and, unlike the "automatic". And in general, cars with automatic transmission - is for women and dudes. With his machine consumes more gasoline, he is unreliable, slow, inadequate and just spoils everything. Therefore, motorists who purchase products of domestic automotive industry, hard talk about the merits of its acquisitions with an indispensable reference manual box as the most important indicator klassnosti driver. Meanwhile, other drivers in our country quietly are switching to cars with automatic transmission. Most of them are aware that America in general to "mechanics" do not travel that automatic transmission perfected in the last century, the clutch it does not burn (due to lack of it), works fine, excessive fuel consumption does not suffer and, quite normally applies to all types of vehicles, including SUVs and trucks. America began to change to vehicles with automatic transmission in 1940 thanks to the famous Hydramatic to Oldsmobile, but it was against Auto Europe right up to the early 70-ies of the last pitch. But then "burst", and such transmissions are used not only Mercedes-Benz, but Ore1, and Ford and BMW. And the manufacture of boxes was immediately deployed in several European countries, and even then still lagging the Japanese caught the trend and built in their own right two plants - Jatco and Aisin-Warnei. But so suddenly appeared Auto popularity among the "Soviet" drivers, taking into account the above views of a mechanical box, looks very strange. Something all too willingly people accepted the veshchichki for dudes, abandoning the PPC for this guy. Nevertheless, the reason for the so rapidly growing demand for cars with automatic gearbox - there. And she called the "CVT". After all, with its eternal rival the advent of steam "machine" - "Mechanics" was the third-party, add arguments is automatic. CVT has long been able to work only with low-powered small volume, because of what the drivers have formed a negative opinion about this type of transmission. And, despite the fact that at the end of XX century technology taught him to work with all engines, it is still discussing the pros and cons of different types of transmission, drivers now explain the benefits of ACTs with all the same arguments, but the comparison has automatic transmission and CVT. Today, automatic gearbox finally established itself as the most reliable, quick, predictable and seriously facilitates control of the car. Incidentally, another aide to the dispute made by the so-called robot. This is a normal manual gearbox, but a gear change in it there are three electric motors, allegedly squeezing the clutch. As a result of the driver pedals just two, like a car with a gun, but the whole design is simpler and cheaper. She has appeared as an alternative to more expensive "machine". Robotic box - the most imperfect. Invented it to save money, but it works very unpredictable and so bad that after that almost every driver is able to joyfully and unconditionally love the automatic transmission. While the global automotive industry has already pointed out two successful examples where robotized gearbox works fine: on Mazerati and Ferrari, it is nevertheless possible to conclude that a good idea to bring the quality level is possible only at enormous cost and as a way to save such an idea unacceptable .
