Does Starting in Third Gear Ruin the Car at Once?
1 Answers
Starting in third gear can damage the car, but doing it occasionally has minimal impact. Below are the specific introductions for each gear in a manual transmission: 1st Gear: Used for normal starts or climbing very steep slopes. The speed is generally around 10 km/h. 2nd Gear: A transitional gear for acceleration after starting or for low-speed driving. The speed is generally around 20 km/h. 3rd Gear: Used when the speed is between 20-40 km/h, commonly used for city driving. 4th Gear: Used when the speed is between 40-60 km/h. 5th Gear: Used when the speed exceeds 60 km/h.
