Can you help me please to translate "Automatic transmission" and "Manual transmission" ?
I have found this:
Automatic transmission: автоматическая коробка передач
Manual transmission: механическая коробка передач
Transmission: коробка передач
Is this correct?
Are they abbreviated as АКП and МКП ?
If i will use this abbreviations on a russian website, everybody will understand them?
Thank you!
Механическая коробка передач и автоматическая коробка передач - are indeed the correct translations. Abbreviations МКП и АКП are also correct (also sometimes used МКПП and АКПП - механическая/автоматическая коробка переключения передач), although I haven't seen these beyond the motor-engineering literature.
In colloquial speech, you can also hear simple механика и автомат.
As for your specific website, I suppose it depends what your audience is. I personally would avoid using the abbreviations, but it's really up to you.
Yes, it is correct
Also correct
Automatic transmission: автоматическая коробка переключения передач
Manual transmission: механическая коробка переключения передач
Transmission: коробка переключения передач
and they are abbreviated as АКПП and МКПП
Also
Automatic transmission: автомат
Manual transmission: механика
