automatic transmissions generally have a torque converter. Double clutch systems like new VW Jetta TDi's and 2.0 T's are classified as automatic but really theyre manual transmissions with a computer doing the clutch work for you.
And from the comments below dont tell me auto is faster than manual for the Maxima just because "the car knows when to shift". the 6 speed totally annihilates the autos
@KillerZero259 well its bad 2 compare an old 4 spd automatic vs a stick shift. if it was a modern day auto vs manual it woul probably be alot closer..
@occckid123 dude i raced an 06 6speed maxima with my 05 auto.....i lost badly bro. unless the auto has a twin clutch, its not gonna be quicker as long as the driver knows how to drive.
@KillerZero259 ok but your 5spd auto sucks also. i was talking about if it had a modern day 6speed or 7spd auto the race would be very close. g37 sedan 7spd auto vs 6spd manual or heck my old versa with cvt vs the 6pd manual versa had an almost identical time.
@KillerZero259 dude i just said those 5spd autos arent that great plus in that video he had wayy 2 much wheelspin anyway. the 370z automatic with tthe 7spd has a better time than the 6spd manual and the g37 sedan posted the quickest time with the autimatic 7spd. im sayin a modern 6-7-8- spd is just as fast if not faster than manual..
@occckid123 how do you know the 370z auto is quicker than the manual? if anything, i recall seeing a video where the manual puts down more horses to the wheel than the auto. the video was posted on youtube somewhere.
did you read car and drivers review on the e92 M3: DCT VS the Manual? you should if you havent
@occckid123 go to car and drivers website and look for the article "2008 BMW M3 With M DCT Double Clutch Transmission - Short Take Road Test"
oh, the DCT is a twin clutch btw......much "better" than those in the G37/370z autos. please, go on and read it. they compare it on the second page of the article.
@KillerZero259 im not going 2 read it lol because i dnt feel like it. im not talkin about a double clutch transmission here im just saying a modern day automatic can be as fast or faster than a manual. u going in on other topics i dnt care 2 discuss...
@occckid123 what was the results anyway? a double clutch is faster than an manual but a double clutch is still an automatic tranmsission! i dnt realy get u resting your case when u didnt have 1 in the first place lmao!
does yours or your bros burn any oil?...those 5.5 gens where known for that.....mine burns a decent amount but still runs like new and is fast as hell lol
i guess i was just one of the lucky ones...my 02 6speed burned 2+ quarts every 3000 miles...had no choice but to sell it cause that was so annoying...still missing that car though..nothing beats the 6speed...definetely a sleeper
Manual won

My 6MT '02 Maxima would have raped my 4AT '02 Maxima. Really obvious difference first time I drove the 6 speed Maxima.
