What was the first car to have manual transmission?

The Ford Model T of 1923 was the first..But all cars that were developed early had manual transmission..It wasn't till much later that automatics were common.

The flywheel is on the rear of the crankshaft on a clutch driven car (manual tranny). It is the surface to which your clutch plates engage when you let out your clutch. It also has teeth around the edge. Your starter engages these teeth when you crank the engine over to start it.

Since the Ford Crown Vic. is still using it (for 2006 and 2007 models) I'll guess Ford is will be one of the last.\n\nhmmm. the Thunderbird is on the same track...uses torque tube to deliver power to the rear differential.\n\nso many cars no longer have the trans-drive-shaft-differential setup that was "conventional" for so many years...hard to think of trans-driveshaft-CV-frontwheels as conventional now-a-days.

The Wankel engine is an internal combustion engine invented by Professor Wankel of Germany.  It uses a rotary "piston" instead of the common up-and-down strokes of a standard i.c. engine.  Altho it was first used in an NSU RO-80 [I think that's the correct model number], it was Mazda that brought the Wankel engine into the public consciousness via a sedan as well as the early RX-series of sports car; I believe the rotary-engined Mazdas first appeared in the early- to mid-seventies

Paddle shift. There are 2 paddles behind the wheel, one on the right, one on the left. Right is upshift, left is downshift. You pretty much just tap it by doing a squeeze/inward motion with your fingers. And they don't need to use a clutch, it's a sequential gearbox so instead of shifting to a gear (like 4th straight to 1st), you shift 4th > 3rd > 2nd > 1st in order. But thanks to their superlight clutchpads and flywheels, shifts are super quick, so you can shift rapidfire.

1. They rev the engine first, usually to an engine speed close to the torque peak. In at automatic, the gear will be in gear with the brake down, and in a manual, the car will be in neutral because the clutch is down in first. Sometimes a few runs are required to find the best engine speed for launching. Each subsequent shift is performed at an engine speed so that the next gear will be solidly in the power band, usually at or near the torque peak again.\n\nIn an automatic: the brake is depressed, and to launch they simultaneously "sidestep" the brake, and floor the accelerator.\n\nIn a manual: they drop the clutch 90% and ride the remaining 10% for a second or two in order to minimize wheelspin and transmission shock, so that as much power as possible is transferred into forward motion.\n\nSide note: all of these techniques wear the car's clutch or transmission. Another test, with far less wear, is the street start 5-60, which is a near idle engine speed launch. Sometimes Motortrend, etc. does this test with expensive cars where the manufacturer doesn't agree to let them have a full launch. \n\n2. The only rule would be using a flat runway, and making no modifications to the vehicle.\n\n3. It is the best measured run. It will typically take a number of runs to find the best launch point and shift points.\n\nI've never heard of SAE involvement. Basically its assumed the publication is honest in its measurement tool. That being said, there are a lot of variables that could use standardization: temperature, humidity, road surface, driver skill, gasoline, and even the specifically produced car unit. For this reason, slightly different results from different publications are not unusual.

The first automobiles were built in Germany in 1886. Gottlieb Daimler and Carl Benz separately created their own "horseless carriages" to sell to the public. Of course, in 1769, Nicolas Joseph Cugnot invented a military tractor which was the first self-propelled road vehicle. So really, it all depends on exactly what you're lookin' for.

The syncromesh, as in the 1966 3 speed 6 cyl mustang, requires you to shift into first gear when the car is completely stopped.  If you attempt to engage first gear without completely stopping the car you will strip the first gear.  Believe me, I did.  It is a royal pain when driving slowly in traffic, people beep at you when you stop in slow moving traffic.  They have NO idea that I need to stop, they just think I can't drive.  Syncro requires the operator to Syncronize the speed with the gear.\n\n\nA constant mesh transmission, on the other hand, can be shifted into any gear regardless of the cars speed.  Modern vehicles do not use syncromesh gear boxes any more, they were phased out in the sixties.

it's a good car with a 2.0 liter intercooler turbo inline 4 engine, it has a 5 speed manual gearbox, however, i believe this car has a drift setting, coz the first time i tried driving one, it has a good acceleration but it dont have a good top speed, it's handling is superb though becoz of it's full time 4wd, it is very cool and stylish.
