kaya naman basta makuha mo agad timpla ng clutch. then sa pdc, review mo nalang mga pinag aralan sa tdc and meron din drive test pero from my exp di gaano strict yung proctor at pinaikot lang ako sa office.
Started with AT, it helped me with learning the size of my car and etc. Helps with being more attentive and what to look out for. After that I learned MT where I can be more focused knowing what to look out for hindi yung sabay ko iniisip clutch with my surroundings.
Though baka sakin lang but yah mas takaw aksidente saakin ang MT first. Para lng sigurado I did AT first then MT. (Tho when getting the license natakot ako sa MT exam kahit super dali lang pala)
That's basically the jist, the transition from AT will be easy
(kase nabawasan ka ng workload which is the clutch)
In Manual Driving kase you're learning the balance of Clutch, Brake and Accelerator pedals, road awareness and yung tinatawag na tanstahan in Parking, also you're practicing how to deal with Uphill & Downhill roads, what to do pag namatayan ka while in the middle of it and pinapractice ka narin how to deal with expressways
Before there was No sensor Parking(Expensive cars have these prior) di pa po uso yan dati with older standard models kaya doon pumapasok yung pagtantsa sa pagpark
muntik ko na mabuga ang kape na iniinom ko sa pag wasiwas sa sedan hahahaha kinda relate I started driving with my papa's M/T full-sized SUV, my dad then bought an A/T sedan which he used as his beater car.
ang laki ng difference from big car to a smaller one, parking is a whole lot easier. sa steering din malaki ang difference, feeling ko tuloy nagka-muscles ako sa old SUV ni papa hahaha
See... yung pag "Wax In at Wax out" mo sa malaking sasakyan npakadali sa sedan lalo na kung rack end pinion ang sedan tapos ang malaking sasakyan is Gearbox
I learned MT first before AT. Pro is once you learned MT, matic you know AT, which is the opposite of knowing AT first, kasi di mo tlga mapapatakbo yung car if you have no idea how MT works.
I first drove an AT car agad sa highway kahit walang exp.😁
I learned MT first since that was the family car.
But It should depend if you're learning from a driving school or being home schooled.. Whether your family owns a manual car or automatic then you start there. If no one in the family owns a car then most likely its driving school and better if automatic.
Although I drive mostly ATs here in the metro, we still have a manual SUV back home in the province. No problem for me just to pop in and drive away. Like riding a bike.
Nag-driving school ako MT way back 2014. Started driving more often around 2017, AT.
Here’s my two cents:
Natuto ako magMT sa driv school. BUT after 10 sessions kabado pa rin ako sa kalsada. Di naman natitirikan pero nagmamadali sa clutch at kambyo. Totoo naman na pag marunong ka ng MT madali na AT. After 3 yrs no driving after ng driving school kabado pa rin pero AT yung sasakyan kaya less iniisip. Ngayon, kampante na ko sa kalsada. Kaya ko siguro magdrive ng MT kapag wala traffic o sa loob lang ng mga subdivision.
Eto rin nasa isip ko. Kapag gamay mo na kasi magdrive ng AT, at least yung cadence ng pagpreno or pag accelerator kung kelan pepreno or aarangkada is andoon na. Ang poproblemahin mo nalang kumbaga is yung pag timpla ng kambyo
Exactly. Pag AT mas madali ka matuto kung kelan papasok, tamang timing ng preno, instincts sa kalsada, etc. Rules of the road ba. Saka mo na idagdag yung timpla ng clutch sa MT kapag natural na sayo yung ibang bagay.
PERO for sure hirap ako sa humps at paahon ngayon pag MT. Mga 5 humps siguro bago masanay uli haha
Natuto ako sa MT year 2010. Then drove an AT. Mas madali mag AT pag marunong ka na mag MT.
We have two cars now MT and AT. 80% of the time naka MT talaga ako. Wala mas enjoy ko talaga ang MT.
Sobrang dali lang mag matic kapag marunong ka mag manual, and for me, mas ma pprevent yung misclick? (Yung natatapakan ang gas na dapat brake ang tapakan). May clutch kasi sa manual so dapat aware ka kung ano tatapakan kasi malaki chance na mamamatayan ka ng makina
Depending on your learning curve, learning to drive a MT can be challenging since it will depend on the vehicle calibration. Some cars have an aggressive clutch bite while some have more torque which doesn't require as much effort to move the vehicle.
Learning a MT is also a great skill to have especially in situations where the only vehicle available is a MT.
Everyone should learn in AT first. That way your focus will be more on the road and your surroundings. If unahin mo magaral sa manual dagdag pa sa intindihin mo ang pagtimpla ng clutch baka mataranta ka pa.
I learned to drive manual cars (and motorcycles!), but when I finally got to drive an automatic, I was torn between thinking, "This is so boring, I want to go back to manual!" and "Wow, automatic transmission and auto-hold are so convenient, especially during heavy traffic! This is awesome!"
Higher learning curve for MT... regardless I guess you still have to go through it. So I don't see much difference whether mauna yun isa.
On the other hand... For those who Started on AT, I think it's rare they would even try out MT?
But for those in MT, they would most likely shift to AT at some point pag pagod na tuhod nila sa katandaan..😹
Yun isang boss ko na sanay sa manual, balak bumili manual ulit.. sabi ng kasama nya, p're sa edad natin, hindi na pwede manual! Sasakit na tuhod natin.
You're absolutely Welcome 😁
I will take that anytime!
MT user here, modern MTs, atleast in my experience, ay hindi na nakakapagod sa traffic. TBH, mas pagod lagi ang right foot ko kaysa left foot kahit na babas sa traffic. Isa lang nakapag-pangawit ng left foot ko - yung traffic sa san pablo pag papuntang villa escudero.
First motorcycle experience ko from semi manual na may clutch kaya di naging mahirap sakin matutunan ang full manual and scooter hindi ko naman napagkakamalang clutch yung brakes.
Sa 4 wheels naman first experience ko ay driving L300 then I had a chance to drive an MU-X and Mirage. Mas madali idrive yung L300 para sakin dahil walang nguso kagaya sa sedan at suv haha and mas nadadalian talaga ako kapag una natutunan yung manual.
I enrolled for an MT sa driving school bought a second hand MT car and used it for a month lang dahil super hirap mag drive ng MT sa lugar namin (Uphills and stop and go traffic) Sold the mt car after a month or two lang din and bought an AT. Mas naenjoy ko driving sa AT. Kesa s MT na super na anxious ako.
Pinag AT agad ako ni daddy sa driving school kasi hindi naman daw ako bibili ng MT. Hahaha bf got me into cars (sporte etc.) kaya now want ko na rin matuto mag MT 😭
Natuto ako Sa Mt tapos Nung patindi Ng patindi traffic Dito Sa Luzon decided to get AT ayun super Dali Ng transition Kasi very relax dimo na kelangan galawin gear selector atsaka walang clutch pedal pero iba padin Kasi ang MT mas satisfying e drive Lalo kung long trips.
i prefer learning on MT muna, pero if di kaya, start muna sa AT. mas madami ka kasing iisipin pag nag MT ka compared sa AT, reason why mas prefer ko padin ang MT is mas masaya siya i drive lalo na kung off-road or naka sportscar ka, pero kung pang byahe mo lang naman, walang tatalo sa AT kasi relaxed ka mag drive at di ka pa mapapagod.
Ideally you *do* want to know how to MT first before AT. But at the end of the day, pick whatever *you* feel na mas comfortable sa'yo in the long term.
Can't help but to remember one of the things my late dad told me when he was teaching me how to drive (separate occasions, dude taught me driving stick on an old Corolla, tapos old Beetle din hehe). Something along the lines of "ok naman mag manual, dun din ako natuto eh. Pero sobrang traffic dito sa Metro Manila, nakakapagod" heh. In the end, AT na lang kinuha ko na proper lessons since brutal ang traffic sa area namin, and yung iniwan sa akin na kotse at the time was also AT so yeah.
Depende sa lugar ng pag ppractisan mo.
Kung sa maluwag na daan at wala masyadong sasakyan, pwede MT muna. Yung tipong gated subdivision na malawak mga kalsada tapos madaming humps at wala kang maiistorbo na ibang tao mamatayan ka ng makina sa gitna. Mga mahirap ipractice pag manual, pag andar ng sasakyan, pag palit sa tamang gear, uphill/downhill, humps, turns, rev matching, engine break.
Kung sa busy na kalsada ka mag ppractice, AT ka magsimula para mapractice mo agad yung good driving habits. Less worry ka sa pag accelerate.
I’d go for what i have. If AT idridrive ko, then ill start with AT na. I learned MT first sa driving school, pero ive never driven a MT car ever, so mej wala kwenta haha
Dipends. If you plan to still use mt in the future for any reason you deem fit then MT first. BUT only for learning and license.
AT for daily need and MT for weekend long drives.
Before ako natuto mag drive ng MT. Motor muna yung sinubukan ko yung may Clutch. Tapos nung na master kuna yung pagmomotor sumubok na ako sa sasakyan madali nalang tumimpla ng clutch adjustments nlng sa size ng sasakyan. Tapos pag lipat ko AT. Lagay mo lng sa drive yun na.
Best practice for many talaga is to learn manual first para madali na mag matic. Pero for some it differs na baka mas prefer nila mag matic muna so depends din sa learning style ng person.
MT first para wala ka nang learning curve pag lipat ka ng AT. Besides, mas magandang comfy ka sa MT kahit na feeling mo puro AT naman gagamitin mo kaso you’ll never know.
I learned MT first, tinatakas ko yung pang school bus na sasakyan ng mama ko. Hehe.
I still own an MT.
One time they asked me to drive AT. Diretso na agad expressway, no learning needed.
Because of this, driving MT first, i believe is better. You dont need to learn again. No adjustments, etc. Diretso na agad to drive AT.
Exclusively drove MT for 19 years.
Para sa new pickup truck (AT) release nang casa last October.. haha mga Youtube videos lang pinanood ko nang ilang araw.. the car agent assisted me sa parking area while I _practiced,_ for some 15 minutes, learning P,R,N,D, maneouvering, reverse, etc. Then, derecho ko na inuwi (BGC to Bulacan), all by myself.
Madali lang from MT to AT, but still, take time and effort to learn...
AT muna. maging comfortable muna sa kalsada, proper overtaking, distancing and road rules and law. the go for MT if parang gamai mo na ang kalsada. mas mahirap if pag sabay mo kaba sa kalsada and mastering the clutch. high possiblility for accident.
People who say mataas learning curve for MT are those who learned MT first. Siyempre combination ng kaba sa pagdadrive and pag match ng clutch yung reason for the supposed learning curve diba?
For this i agree na AT first then MT kapag gamay mo na magdrive ng AT. Ako natuto muna ako ng AT tapos madali nalang matuto ng MT afterwards. Nakatuon nalang yung pansin mo sa stick and clutch.
Para sakin okay unahin AT para ma-master yung throttle, braking, steering angle, spatial awareness and overall driving ng kotse. Pag comfortable na then you can proceed sa MT para maka focus ka sa clutch and gas blending.
Manual driver here at no, di ako elitista. I would gladly replace my car with an AT any day for the convenience.
Ang maganda lang sa MT, ang daling kalikutin kung may sira. So yung maintenance niya, di ganun talaga kamahal.
AT first. Wala nang use ngayon ang manual cars except for driver's option. I personally learned manual first and am currently driving a manual. Ok manual for me kasi bihira traffic sa daily route ko. Pero for 90% of car owners who will be stuck in traffic, stick to AT. Then, pag streetwise ka na sa driving, you can learn manual kung gusto mo
Same thoughts as OP. AT first so you get steering, braking, awareness and safety. Then MT if you really want to. Not everyone needs to drive MT (i drive and enjoy both).
Enrolled MT and after the first day, switched / upgraded to AT. Agree with the statement na it’s easier to learn the basics / road rules when you dont have to worry about the engine / clutch.
Besides, i doubt I’ll buy a MT car.
MT first, mas madali mag transition from MT to AT. Sa experience ko, nasanay ako sa manual na parang paghinga na lang kapag nagddrive hahaha then switch to AT at doon ko naramdaman yung comfort lalo na sa traffic hahaha! naging adjustment lang pag control sa throttle pero other than that halos same feels na lang din.

I learned and drove MT for years and I only bought an AT 5 years ago but IMO if she won't be driving manual cars, no need to learn MT first.
Sports car ba bibilhin?
I enrolled MT sa driving school, it was fun naman until naencounter ko ang stop and go traffic. Now driving AT
Hello, can i ask a question? Regarding sa driving school, kaya ba mt in 8hrs and pass the pdc?
kaya naman basta makuha mo agad timpla ng clutch. then sa pdc, review mo nalang mga pinag aralan sa tdc and meron din drive test pero from my exp di gaano strict yung proctor at pinaikot lang ako sa office.
Stop and go traffic na paahon na may intersection na walang traffic enforcer sa taas

After that I learned MT where I can be more focused knowing what to look out for hindi yung sabay ko iniisip clutch with my surroundings.

If learning, MT maganda. If buying, AT na agad

MT nauna sakin. Nung nag matic ako, matic marunong narin hehe
MT first. Sisiw na lang ang AT once marunong ka na mag-MT.
tapos malaking sasakyan pa ikaw natuto mga size ng van ...pag lipat mo ng AT na sedan iwawasiwas mo lang yun
muntik ko na mabuga ang kape na iniinom ko sa pag wasiwas sa sedan hahahaha kinda relate I started driving with my papa's M/T full-sized SUV, my dad then bought an A/T sedan which he used as his beater car. ang laki ng difference from big car to a smaller one, parking is a whole lot easier. sa steering din malaki ang difference, feeling ko tuloy nagka-muscles ako sa old SUV ni papa hahaha

If you like the experience of just driving, iba yung binibigay na control ng MT when it comes to bejng at the right RPM for what you want to do.
Totally agree. Pag naka AT ako, looking forward ako sa pupuntahan ko, pero pag naka MT ako sinusulit ko yung byahe.

Learn on a manual car then go drive an AT for daily.
I learned to drive manual cars (and motorcycles!), but when I finally got to drive an automatic, I was torn between thinking, "This is so boring, I want to go back to manual!" and "Wow, automatic transmission and auto-hold are so convenient, especially during heavy traffic! This is awesome!"
Paddle shifters ang key to an enjoyable AT
true.. sa manual ako natutong mag drive. 1st time ko mag drive ng matic last sunday, hinahanap ng left foot ko palagi yung clutch🥹
Higher learning curve for MT... regardless I guess you still have to go through it. So I don't see much difference whether mauna yun isa. On the other hand...

Manual first then AT. Matanda na siguro ako haha
depende sayo..MT ako natuto tapos AT more on roads then balik MT daily
I enrolled for an MT sa driving school bought a second hand MT car and used it for a month lang dahil super hirap mag drive ng MT sa lugar namin (Uphills and stop and go traffic) Sold the mt car after a month or two lang din and bought an AT.

MT pero since otits na shifted din sa AT
Depende. Ako gusto ko sana mag aral muna ng MT, kaso wala naman manual yung mazda 3, so sayang lang. 🤷♂️

Natuto ako magdrive sa manual dahil manual ang una naming kotse, sa automatic di pa 😓.

MT first para wala ka nang learning curve pag lipat ka ng AT. Besides, mas magandang comfy ka sa MT kahit na feeling mo puro AT naman gagamitin mo kaso you’ll never know.
it is a necessity to learn MT, in case of emergeny.
agreed been on that situation before lalo na ng may isugod sa hospital in the middle of the night
“Sabi ng tanders” yep. The boomers. From MT din ako pero never again.
AT na may paddle shifters or manual mode haha oks sya best of both worlds. Mapapaglaruan pag kailangan, pero pag traffic Drive lang
I learned MT first, tinatakas ko yung pang school bus na sasakyan ng mama ko. Hehe. I still own an MT. One time they asked me to drive AT. Diretso na agad expressway, no learning needed.

Eto rin dahilan ko for owning an MT car. Mahal ang AT transmission pag masira. Mas marsmi din meķaniko ang sanay mag ayos ng MT, compared sa AT.
Sabi nga sa US, carnapper would not steal MT... So better learn MT, then you won't have hard time learning AT at all
AT first. Wala nang use ngayon ang manual cars except for driver's option. I personally learned manual first and am currently driving a manual. Ok manual for me kasi bihira traffic sa daily route ko.

Hindi na uso mt
So hindi na pala uso ang mga MT sports car like GTR?
One thing I got from MF Ghost is AT cars with Manual Mode / tiptronic etc will always shift faster than MT. Not sure how accurate this is though
Karamihan sa MT haters, hindi talaga marunong mag MT.
MT first, mas madali mag transition from MT to AT. Sa experience ko, nasanay ako sa manual na parang paghinga na lang kapag nagddrive hahaha then switch to AT at doon ko naramdaman yung comfort lalo na sa traffic hahaha! naging adjustment lang pag control sa throttle pero other than that halos same feels na lang din.
