What is shift assist in manual transmission and how does it work?

318 views

Sorry if it seems like dumb question, I did google it but it makes 0 sense to me. I’m only just getting into cars and someone mentioned something called shift assist.

The message they sent for context if that helps:

> Well driving standard now is way easier than when I was younger lol apparently they have shift assist so you don’t stall as easily or something like that

Edit: thank you everyone for all the answers! As a baby car enthusiast, I really appreciate and am enjoying the variety of answers I’ve gotten. I’ve learnt a lot already and it hasn’t even been 24 hours.

All respect to your mom, but you should also consider the possibility that maybe she’s wrong and that modern cars with manual transmissions just plain don’t have anything like “shift assist.”

*shrug*

The manual in our new WRX doesn’t seem to be any easier to drive than the manual in the 85 300zx I learned to drive stick on in the early 90s.
