Automatic vs Manual Transmission - Explained

What are the differences between an automatic and a manual transmission? I'll explain the difference between cars that have each setup, and how each setup works.

This is a general description of the DIFFERENCES between the two setups. It will not go into detail of planetary gears, or manual gearboxes, but it will give you a general understanding of each, and which transmission has which components.

An understanding of torque converters, clutches, planetary gears, and manual transmissions is beneficial but not necessary to understand the differences. I will post videos on these topics when time permits.

See attached torque converter video when it appears on the screen.
