Automatic and Manual gearboxes are essentially the same, except that the driver does the shifting for a manual gearbox(my personal preference), and a computer shifts for an automatic gearbox.
a turbocharger works on the engine only, it does not matter if the gearbox is manual or automatic
for starters....is it manual or automatic,,,,big difference......on a manual,,,you have to get under the car to to the gearbox,,,,,then find the gearbox plug bolt,,,then fill the gearbox to that level....automatic is very different
Manual gears are more versatile than an automatic gearbox
