Can You Start in Third Gear?
1 Answers
Starting is usually done in first or second gear. Starting in third or fourth gear is abnormal, and forcing a start in these gears can damage the car, especially causing significant harm to the clutch. Below is relevant information about car gears: 1. Speed range: First gear corresponds to a speed of 0-5 km/h, second gear to 5-20 km/h, third gear to 20-40 km/h, fourth gear to 40-60 km/h, and fifth gear to 60-100 km/h. 2. Shift timing: For most cars, the ideal shift timing is when the engine reaches 2000 r/min, and it should not exceed 2500 r/min. For high-displacement, high-power engines, shifting can be done around 3000 r/min.
