Automatics don't have to worry about replacing worn out clutch. But manual gets slightly better mileage and you can push start the car with manual transmission.

In stock form, a manual will typically outlast an automatic, but it's not the actual transmission case or gears that wear out. With the automatic, the bands and clutches wear out. With a manual, the clutch wears out. Although changing a clutch in a manual is easier than replacing the bands and clutches in an automatic, it has to be done more frequently. On the other hand, the fluid in an automatic has to be changed more frequently than the clutch in a manual. Depending on the type of transmission (some autos and manuals are worthless regardless of what you do to them), simple modifications to an automatic, such as a good aftermarket fluid cooler (not the one built in to the radiator), hi performance ATF changed regularly (with the filter changed), and a shift kit, will keep an automatic going longer than the engine itself under all but the most extreme conditions. One thing to note is the shift kit and high performance fluid will make the transmission shift harder. This is one of the trade-offs with an automatic. The smoother the shifts, the faster the transmission wears out due to the time increase the clutches and bands are engaged during shifts. This is the reason many people use to change the Dexron II fluid in their GMs for the Type F used in Fords. The type F causes harder shifts, but the Dexron II causes transmission failure sooner.

If you are asking about the parts which are used for manual transmission and automatic transmission. Of course in manual transmission wear and tear would be much more than that of in automatic transmission.
The basis on which one should be comparing between these two is none other than the control over the ride.
Thanks.

Over time, the manual transmission will cost less in terms of maintenance, and will produce slightly better gas mileage (unless you drive a Scion XB, which is opposite for some unaccountable reason). Driving a manual is more fun as well :)

both have its own + and -. a car with A/T is comfortable to drive coz you don't have to think about changing gears. maintenance will also be more tedious than with M/T. Another thing is that when you have a low charged battery, you can still start your car just buy pushing while the gear is engaged in 1st, with an A/T car, you can't. in terms of which will last longer, it will depend on how it is used by the driver.

Manuals last longer.Most times only one gear goes bad in a manual and you will be able to get home by useing second gear or 3rd gear to move off but when a automatic fails that's it,you go nowhere.
Autos are more sensitive,Manuals are more ruged.

Manual transmissions are useally more dependable. as long as you know how to drive one. you can be hard on the transmission if you don't shift correctly and wear the clutch. But I would say economically the manual tranny will be more dependable.

It all depends on how well you maintain the vehicle. If you follow manufacturers recommendations on maintenance then they will both last a good long time. I have seen equal failure in both.
