Manual transmissions typically have five gears, but there are also six-speed manual transmissions. The five-speed manual transmission includes 1st gear, 2nd gear, 3rd gear, 4th gear, 5th gear, and R (Reverse) gear. A six-speed manual transmission adds one more gear compared to the five-speed, which is the highest forward gear. Below is an introduction to automatic transmissions: Automatic Transmission Gear Shifting: It does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The car automatically selects the appropriate gear based on speed or traffic conditions, and the driver only needs to control the accelerator pedal. Automatic Transmission Gears: The car has six gears, arranged from top to bottom as follows: Park (P), Reverse (R), Neutral (N), Drive (D), Sport mode (S), and Low gear (L).

What do the gear letters P, R, N, D, M stand for in a car?

The gear letters P, R, N, D, M in a car represent: P for Parking gear, R for Reverse gear, N for Neutral gear, D for Drive gear, and M for Manual mode. Automatic transmission typically refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operations. The automatic transmission uses planetary gear mechanisms for shifting, which can automatically change gears based on the degree of the accelerator pedal and changes in vehicle speed, while the driver only needs to control the speed by operating the accelerator pedal.
