Manual transmission: Consist of a manual clutch that is used with the left hand and a left foot operated gears.

Semi Automatic transmission: Consist of a foot operated gear lever that opperrates the gear changes and the clutch at the same time.

Full automatic transmission: a belt that rides on 2 clutches that change size

Excellent response, Boner!

You might add, to your third category (fully-automatic transmission), "Coming soon, hydrostatic automatic transmission with electrically-driven swash-plate-controlled receiving-cylinder volume . . .", or something!

I had this same question before I bought my first ATV.

About the only thing I might add is that you might find the auto-clutch takes a little getting used to. I have noticed on both my Kawasaki and Honda models, they both seem to switch gears better at just the right rpm. It seems the key is the switch just after releasing the throttle without the longer delay that is necessary when using a clutch lever.
