AvtoVAZ claims that with an experienced driver on the “mechanics” it will be possible to save fuel. In addition, with a manual transmission, you can slip without fear of overheating the transmission, which helps both on bad roads and in winter. Another factor in favor of the “mechanics” is the great endurance and reliability of such a gearbox. Say, in the event of a breakdown, you won’t have to change the entire assembly, and you can get to the service even with one broken transmission.
