Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care

Transmission Tip Keep your manual transmission in gear If driving a manual transmission, be aware of what gear you are driving in. Repeatedly driving 45mph in first-gear will cause trouble for your transmission's gears over time.

The age-old rivalry between manual versus automatic has to come to an end. Both offer their own benefits, but it's ultimately up to the driver to decide. See what Digital Trends has to say about the two.

#TransmissionMyths: Manual cars always get better fuel economy than cars with automatic gearboxes. As automatics become more advanced and gain additional gears (eight-speed transmissions are fairly easy to find), they are often now overtaking manuals in terms of fuel economy.
