Don't do it, it will only beat the you know what out of your transmission in the long run. If you would like to see metal shavings when you change your Transmission Fluid and a very expensive bill.......then go right ahead.
Shifter or Shift Knob
to shift gears upwards eg. 3 to 4
An automatic transmission shift valve is like a swing. It is moves back and forth with the use of pressure. That is how gears are changed.
The gears are always being used in an automatic car, if you are asking about the 1 and the 2 on the shifter, i dont know what those are for, you can use them to slow down if your brakes go out.
Manual transmission is when you use the shift stick to shift to different gears in a car instead of driving without shifting gears,which is auto transmission.
Different costs, it depends what airline you use. If you use a car, it depends on what fuel you use.
Assuming we are talking automatic transmissions, you would use park or neutral to start the engine but neither one are gears.
An automatic selects its own gears and some automatics do not have staged gears but are continuously variable.
The difference between automatic and stick shift is many. Automatic is normally any car that has the selecter in the interior going P N R D 1 2 and that basically selects the way your vehicle travels. In Standard or Manual, or Stick Shift its just where you are always selecting the gears going from 1- up depending on how many gears your car has and the reverse gear. Neutral or N is normally found in the middle of the shifting pattern. Also Standard has a clutch which you must use to disengage the engine from the transmission. That's the 3rd foot pedal.
Sure, you can use your left arm to shift or have a passenger shift for you.
In the US, the first fully automatic transmission in a car was produced by Oldsmobile in the 1940 model year.
The American term for a manual gearbox in a car. In other words - you use a "gear stick" to change the gears linking the engine with the wheels. As opposed to an automatic gear box which will change the gears without need for the driver to do anything. "Auto" transmission is most common in USA whereas in Europe "manual" is most common.
