Stick Shifts

A manual transmission (MT) gearbox is popularly known as 'stick shift'. The driver has to change the gear manually depending on the acceleration and deceleration. Stick shifts are by and large the most popular transmission in India. The gear box is very reliable and it's easy to keep the car in control. However, considering the current traffic scenario, it's sometimes a pain to keep shifting gears. There is a lot of wear and tear in the gears and that's the only reason why people tend to shift to Automatic Transmissions.
