Simple my dear Watson. In a manual shift vehicle you have to switch the gears when you need to increase and decrease speed. An automatic does it all on its own once drive or overdrive is selected. Most vehicles built today have set gear ratios, with set ratios in order to gain speed you have to change the ratios (gears).
