If you’re searching for differences between 5 and 6 speed manual transmissions, you probably have some experience driving stick. You’re also in limited company – only about 10% of cars manufactured in 2014 in North America had manual transmissions.

Pros and Cons of Driving Stick

Automatic transmissions rule the road in the U.S. But here’s the thing: manual transmission cars are more fun to drive. It’s a more interactive experience and you have more control over the car. Driving stick has other benefits, too. For one, it’s much harder to use a cell phone or text when you’re driving a stick shift (both your hands are busy). However, driving a manual can be a chore in bumper-to-bumper traffic. For those who drive manual transmission cars, you probably know that the clutch between two cars never feels the same and sometimes there’s an extra gear on the shifter. My wife recently bought a new car and this very thing happened to her. The new car is basically the same car she had been driving, just 10 years newer. The 2006 model had a 5 speed manual transmission and the 2016 model is a 6 speed.

What’s the Difference?

For one, you shift more when driving a 6 speed. The gears on a 6 speed car are a bit more nuanced than a 5 speed. I’ve noticed that I tend to shift out of first (and second) much quicker in the 6 speed car. From my own experience, and from what I’ve been able to glean on various car forums, another difference between a 5 speed and 6 speed car is when you’re cruising. If you’re on the open highway, chances are you’ll make your way up to 65 mph or more. This is where your sixth gear comes in handy. It’s essentially an overdrive that allows the car to operate at lower RPMs and save fuel. Those are the two biggest differences between 5 and 6 speed manual transmissions.

1. Leave your car in gear at a red light

Even though you were told by your driving instructor that it’s a cardinal sin… As well as wearing out your leg muscles, you’re also putting needless strain on the clutch. It’s much better to put your car in neutral and apply the handbrake to keep it stationary. When you put your car in neutral, the clutch is spared unnecessary wear and tear. People often defend their actions by saying they leave their car in gear so they can make a quick getaway, but it only takes a second to put it back into gear as the lights change.

2. Rest your hand on the gear stick

When changing gears, you probably don’t give a second thought to what’s happening behind the scenes in the manual gearbox. But every time you change gear, a selector fork inside the gearbox, contacts against rotating parts to select the gear. Resting your hand on the gear stick while it’s in gear may cause you to unwittingly apply pressure to the selector fork and other internal parts. In the long run, this habit can speed up wear and tear of gearbox components, leading to noisy or crunching gears or possible failure to select a gear. Once you have changed gear, take your hand off and put it back on the wheel. For safety reasons, both hands should be on the wheel as much as possible.
