That’s all in the vehicle/system design, not in the component selection.
At equivalent engine rpms, a m/t in a direct input shaft to output shaft mechanical connection is more efficient.
Do the manufacturers do that? Not so much these days.
More money to be made manufacturing and selling a/ts.
YOU are the won who is Ignorant.
Carburetors have a terrible history of long term degradation.
Old skool ignition systems with their variability over time on dwell and timing and point “wear” were FAR worse.
You have NO idea.
Paladin2,
I would love to see a BYPASS of electronic controls when there is an ECM related component failure.
My point is that everything in a vehicle can be working great except one sensor or combination of ECM-Sensor failure can create an extremely dangerous situation. It would be nice to flip on a BYPASS to make sure control of the vehicle is maintained.
I know some in the EPA and elsewhere will snicker and say “well, then drivers will just go to BYPASS and leave it that way”.
But going to BYPASS can be designed to flash external lights, turn on horns, etc. to compel the situation to be temporary.
I’m off to Seafair. Enjoy your day.
You are still totally ignorant of the reliability increases of engine control systems over the last 50 years.
Can sudden failures still occur?
Yep.
Are they more frequent than in the daze of yore ?
Nope, you Dope.
THAT splains' everything.
You do know that the BIG ONE is in the works?...
I don’t think you know. Study up and then come back."
"You should study up."
You have no idea about how many years I was involved in the grimble of what you obviously know nothing about.
You need to give it a rest as you are nearly, totally ignorant.
I drove for a while.. i would argue the long, dull hours of automatic transmissions would put me to sleep. Not to mention lowering the standards for to those who cannot really drive more than a straight drive.
Gearing down for a maneuver is helpful to transition because it involves more than moving a steering wheel.
