Manual transmissions trade raw speed for maximum torque
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Driving a stick shift is just a constant negotiation between moving fast and actually having power. To get a heavy vehicle rolling, a small engine gear slowly turns a massive transmission gear, multiplying the pulling force but moving at a crawl. As you gain momentum, you manually shove the lever to swap in increasingly smaller cogs to sacrifice raw pulling power for blinding speed.
One discovery leads to another.
