Can You Shift Gears While Braking in a Manual Transmission?
1 Answers
When shifting gears in a manual transmission at any time, there is no need to press the brake. Below is an introduction to manual transmissions: 1. A manual transmission (MT), also known as a manual gearbox, requires the driver to manually move the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. 2. Working principle: By using the shift fork, the transmission ratio (gear ratio) of the engaged gears is changed, thereby modifying the driving torque to suit different operating conditions. 3. However, when comparing comprehensively, manual transmission cars have a slight advantage over automatic transmission cars. For the same brand and model, manual transmission cars are significantly cheaper than their automatic counterparts.
