Advantages of Automatic transmission

• Compared to the manual transmission, the automatic transmission has the following 

  advantages

• It reduces driver fatigue by eliminating the necessity of clutch operation and constant 

 

  shifting of gears

  

• It automatically and smoothly shifts gears at speeds appropriate to the driving conditions, 

 

  thus relieving the driver of the need of master difficult and troublesome driving techniques 

 

  such as clutch operation

 

• It prevents the engine and drive line from becoming over loaded, because it connects them 

  

  hydraulically (via the torque converter ) rather than mechanically
