Yes, manual transmissions are generally considered better for drifting. Here's why:

Control: Manual transmissions provide better control over the car's power and torque, allowing drivers to precisely manage the throttle and clutch. This control is crucial for initiating and maintaining drifts.

Gear Selection: Being able to choose and change gears manually gives drivers the ability to keep the engine in the optimal power band, which is essential for effective drifting.

Clutch Kicking: A drifting technique called "clutch kicking" involves quickly engaging and disengaging the clutch to break the traction of the rear wheels. This technique is much easier to perform with a manual transmission.
