dude you dey a like child....I should start comparing them with their auto counterpart when some are standard manual ...are u okay

I haven't driven them and u either ...

u told me to name ,I did,now u tell me to compare ....dude please u no get talk


Go drink beer abeg
Just calm down and learn.
My point is very simple, no manual car of the same engine variant is faster than the automatic.

Make your research, check out those cars that you copied from Google and see for yourself.
This is 2022 not 2010. Automatics are way too advanced to be compared with manuals.

2022 BMW

BMW M2
All New BMW M2 Coupe Via: BMW
Even though it shares bones with the standard BMW 2 Series, the M2 delivers impressive performance. The 2023 model turns the heat way up with a specially tuned chassis and a racier appearance. Like its predecessor, the new M2 comes standard with a 6-speed manual and rear-wheel drive.


I'm very glad you know them.

Now compare them to the direct competitor of the same year that runs an automatic. I'm very glad you mentioned 2022 cars. I will start with the m2 2022. Automatic Vs Manual. Screenshot below.

There are many reasons why most high performance cars only use manual transmissions. They accelerate quicker, perform better, and don't limit you as the driver. And when you are going that fast it's important to remain in control of the car.
What high performance car make use of manual? Mention 1 make we sabi.

The Rewire tried the first method but I wasn’t sure if he put it on neutral or not but the second one he only removed the belt but did not touch the starter.

In both cases it did not roll

This is sounding like engine problem oo. shocked
Tell your rewire/mechanic to try the neutral method in your presence.

Car Talk / Re: As An Experienced Driver, When Slowing Down, Is It Clutch Or Break? by RuneKingThor: 6:36pm On Dec 13, 2022
arantess:

I had a brake failure once

It was "engine braking" that did for me

Reducing gears from top to low gear, at each gear shift, the engine roars like a lion.

The most difficult part was staying calm and composing oneself

That calmness is very important.

@RuneKing
You know the idea of neutral isn't always perfect...
What if its a downward sloppy road?
Very important point actually. The post below will be the best thing to do if break fails.

fullnetwork:

It's better to gradually downshift to higher gears (4-3-2-1)...
It stalls the car better that neutral.

clutch before brake...
Break then clutch. Along the line you would have to change your clutch if you practice clutch before break. Luckily manuals tolerate that type of abuse so it might a very long time before it happens especially in older manuals.

Candidlady:



but you gonna have to clutch down to place it on N right..?

ihad to ask that question cos he said something bout never clutching when a vehicle is on high sleep..

Yes you will clutch to change to N but typically you don't clutch for long periods. Except in lower gear and in slow moving traffic. Some drivers do this but I don't.

When the brake fails what would you suggest ?

S
Put gear in Neutral and then apply hand break.
Never put of the engine as it makes the streering unresponsive.

Clutch should never be used to slow down. So break first then clutch to change gear to match the new speed.

This is what I posted on NL that triggered you, I brought it here to ask for few advise so that when you talk about it again, I will know how to go about it with the advise I get here but you felt you're entitled to it without any dispute from me n for that reason of your entitlement, you brought the whole deal here and now you're saying I'm the one who brought it, how did I?


You just want people to say you're entitled to collect it anytime you like cuz you're doing me a big favor, I don't even know why you will have that thought, we are doing business brother... if you had told me your dad needs a car for short period, I would have suggested I drive the car myself so I can still know the condition the car is but just because you have it in your head the car was bought by you and still belongs to you, you felt you can command and ordered me anyhow....


See ehn, being a driver doesn't mean I'm daft brother...

Stop replying here. Contact your lawyer and be prepared for whatever the guy brings your way.

Those so called default he is talking about, pay attention to it. I wish you good luck.

It's too cheap. There will probably be some underlining issues. Even 2008 model Accord at 1.6m is meant to be overlooked.

Car Talk / Re: Toyota Camry Gear Not Selecting by RuneKingThor: 9:36am On Nov 24, 2022
tabisegroup:
Greetings!!

Please my Toyota Camry 1997/1998 is giving me headache. If I park the car in an open space where there's direct sunlight or if I drive it for let's say close to an hour, the mileage digits will clear off, disappear and the gear will no longer select until I drive to where there's shade and park for an hour before the mileage digits comes up again. If not, i will just be firing gear one all along.

What's the solution please?
Can be ABS or speed sensor or the sensor on the gear. You have to scan first to be sure, so you don't throw parts at it.
