Trad gear car to automatic car

[Easipeelerie]

How difficult is it to transition from a traditional car with clutch and gears to a modern automatic?

Very easy.

Very easy, your hand goes to the gear stick for a few days and that’s about it.

It’s also good for the car, as it will always be in the right gear!

Easy. I was nervous about it and especially the weird creeping forward unless you are actively braking. But it was fine.

I didn't ever really like it though. Had an automatic for just under a year and when it was written off after DH got rear-ended we went back to a manual.

Oh it's an absolute fucking dream. I was scared I might reach for the gear stick or slam on my break thinking it was the clutch out of habit so I was nervous when I first drove an automatic, but it was completely fine and I'd never ever go back to manual.

An absolute doddle - just tuck your clutch leg back a bit fir the first few days

It’s also much easier on
the hips and knees if in traffic and hill starts are very easy!

Really easy, once you stop reaching for the gear stick!
I wouldn't go back now.

Very easy.

I changed 4 months ago and the first drive I kept trying to change gears but I got used to the automatic really quickly.

I would hate to go back to a manual now!

So so easy! Not like the other way!

Very easy. You need to pretend that your left leg is dead to you. Tuck it under seat a little - generally just keep it away from the clutch that no longer exists!
