Manual Transmission

A manual transmission requires the driver to manually select gears. It consists of a clutch pedal, gear shift lever, and a gearbox. The driver controls the engagement and disengagement of gears through the clutch and shifting the gear lever.

A manual transmission, also known as a stick shift or standard transmission, is a type of gearbox that requires the driver to manually select the gears. It's distinguished from automatic transmissions, where the car shifts gears automatically.
