Oh god please stop. Even I’ve timed out on this one. 
yes - it's hot air on an oiriginally useful thread -
How is zf/asin going to diversify when auto-boxes are no longer needed by ev's (although lorries maybe not )
Does line lock(with servo?) apply same force as handbrake ... and would withstand someone bumping you from behind.

And to think, he accused others of being obtuse earlier.
ZF and Aisin supply hybrid/EV drivetrains on a large scale already.

If any of these asertions were true, like how heat does rise, how a vacuum cleaner does create an actual vacuum, etc, you'd have already posted links to prove it... and we'd not need fans on our W/C radiators.

Imagine having to resort to 'links', one way to prove you don't really understand the subject...
heat is energy, its not an object to exhibit attributes but its presence in materials/fluids effect their behaviour. Pointless arguing about the terms, increase heat in air increase its buoyancy with the lower density and it rises within the adjacent fluid (ambient air) normal people just say heat rises as we are not ironically in a vacuum.

And yet nothing on this forum is considered true or valid without links, citations and references to studies and articles...
The pressure level in the area behind the fan drops below the pressure level outside the vacuum cleaner (the ambient air pressure). This creates suction, a partial vacuum, inside the vacuum cleaner.
It is nice to see you hadn't just singled me out when you posted a load of drivel on the meal kit thread

Note the 'partial' and the reason for the inclusion of that word, to differentiate it from an actual vacuum. The latter would be a complete absence of matter, which would then beg the question what you've just vacuumed up if there's no matter.
A vacuum cleaner creates suction inside a space, and the surrounding air rushes in to fill that space (taking dirt particles with it) before a vacuum can actually be created, but it does not create an actual vacuum. At best, it simply moves air (and other matter) in one end and through a filter before chucking it out the back. That's no more a vacuum than my cooling loop.
That was merely a difference of opinion, whereas this is about established definitions and other peoples' interpretations of them to suit their perspectives.It is nice to see you hadn't just singled me out when you posted a load of drivel on the meal kit thread

I take it this thread has gone off topic.....
Depends how you define what 'off' means

Not talking about gearboxs anymore

Back on topic then - manuals are still better.
Depends how you mean better - I was amused a couple of days back or so when someone in a mini was determined to get ahead of me off the lights but every manual gear change saw them drop back while I went through 3 gear changes with the auto pretty much seamlessly - I wasn't interested in racing them though did get going fairly briskly but only at "50%" and let them get on with it.

I have no idea even what model/performance it was - was just amused noting the difference between the manual gear changes on the mini and my auto.
I have no idea how much they were even giving it through seemed oddly determined to get ahead of me but if I'd have gone foot to the floor I'd have been doing 120 by the time they got ahead of me instead of like 60.
EDIT: Looks like it was a 2012 Mini Cooper D.

121-122MPH top speed - I've not tried it myself - seen videos where people have got them to as close to 200KM/H (124MPH) as makes no difference.

Really depends on the gearbox, car and what you are doing with the car. I ditched the auto when I bought my last car because its only going to be driven by me and I like Manuals... For the missus our replacement for the Pug estate will likely be an auto and thats fine as that suits the type of journeys - holidays, kids loaded in etc - that her car usually does.
