Automatic trannies are simple. If you have a grasp of hydraulics and can identify the parts inside an AT tranny, you can do anything with them. The planetary design can simply just hold more power than the weaker setup of an MT. Instead of having 2-3 teeth holding gears together, you have entire gears driving / being driven by other gears. Just makes more sense.

However, for street driving, I hate AT trannies. Boring, gay and STUPID problems come up. Diagnostics on an MT are a little easier than an AT unless you understand the active parts in an AT. Power cycle.

Bernie, you are clearly right on if you want to make your car as fast as you can while still reliable. AT all the way old man

Sounds like someone has been learning at school . Good job.
