Not necessarily. What you do get is more performance for the same power. You control the length of time in each gear (power banding) and there is no slip in the power train.

Why is your stick shift wobbly?

The gear lever SHOULD be wobbly - in neutral. If it wobbles excessively in gear, then that often points to worn linkage somewhere. Vans and lorries will have gearsticks that shake more than cars, because the market demand is for cars to be more refined.


What type of gears do cars have?

Cars typically use two main types of gears: manual and automatic. Manual transmissions allow drivers to shift gears using a clutch pedal and gear stick, providing more control over engine power and speed. Automatic transmissions, on the other hand, shift gears automatically based on speed and engine load, offering a more convenient driving experience. Additionally, some vehicles may feature continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) that provide a seamless range of gear ratios without distinct shifts.


What is a drive a stick shift?

A stick shift transmission (called a manual transmission in the UK) is when the driver changes the gears himself by moving a gear stick to select the gears. The gear change mechanism is entirely mechanical. This has the obvious diasdvantage that the driver has to decide which gear the car should be in and select it, but it makes the car cheaper and more efficient. Although now somewhat rare in most cars in the US, Australia and Asia, they remain dominant in Europe, India and South America. They are also always used in all sports cars, off-roaders and trucks.


Does manual gear shift offer greater power than an automatic transmission car?

The engine has the same power no matter the transmission. However with an automatic transmission more of the available power is lost due to the torque converter and the transfer of fluid to torque. But in modern cars today it is very little, so get an automatic if that is what you want. A manual transmission does provide more power to the drive wheels but it comes at a penalty. You must shift it yourself.

What is the ECT button for on the center console for 99 elantra?

It provides a little more power by changing the transmission shift times to a more aggressive setting. For instance if in normal mode it may shift at 3,500 rpm. With the ECT in power mode, it would probably shift at 4,000 rpm or 4,500 rpm. Setting the ECT to power will however lower your gas mileage.
