    Driving Tips for Manual, Auto and CVT

    He everyone,

    Jalopnik decided to compile the do's and don't's of driving the different transmission types. There's a lot of good general info here. I know I've done a few of the things he says not to do. Ooops. Now I know and now you do too.

    I hope this helps us save our transmissions and prolong the life of our cars.

    Here's the link http://thegarage.jalopnik.com/the-wo...ium=socialflow

    If you're really into cars and learning how they work this guy has a great youtube channel called Engineering Explained. I highly recommend it.

    One thing you should not do in a manual transmission car:

    1) Get an automatic.

    In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.
