Transmission MAZ 5551
Content
What to choose when buying a car: automatic, manual or CVT? And there are robots too! An automatic transmission is more expensive, but for this money the motorist gets comfort and is not nervous in traffic jams. Mechanical transmission is cheaper, its advantage is ease of maintenance and durability. As for the variator, its strong point is fuel economy, but the reliability of the variators is not up to par yet. As a rule, no one speaks well of a robot. A robot is a compromise between an automatic machine and mechanics, like any compromise it has more minuses than pluses.
5551 is available with the following transmission types: Manual.
