However, this transmission requires the driver to control the clutch and the gear selection. Americans are lazy, so carmakers use the humble automatic instead. Okay, so they're a bit more inefficient, but they're still fairly simple. Planetary gearsets, hydraulic torque converter up at the front, bands and clutches to choose which gears activate, and we're good. Right?
