COMPLETELY
autobox uses an epicyclic geartrain, a sun gear with two planet gears and a ring gear around the outside.
Manual is a standard synchro(constant)mesh box.

ya it will have different ratios in each of its "gears" But then it will only have 3-4 gears, and also makes use of a liquid drive or torque converter, its pretty difficult to compare to be honest!
Manual boxes are much more cut and dry.
