How to Determine if Gear Shifting is Completed?
1 Answers
The car dashboard will display the current gear position. If the gear does not match, there will be a prompt indicating the mismatch. Additionally, during driving, if the gear is not properly engaged, slight hesitation or severe jerking may occur, requiring re-shifting. The car's tachometer can be used to determine the gear position, as the vehicle speed is directly proportional to the engine RPM. The normal RPM range for a running car is between 2000 and 3000 RPM, while during idling or deceleration, the RPM ranges between 800 and 1000. Gear shifting is used to change the torque and speed of the engine crankshaft to meet the varying requirements of traction and speed under different driving conditions, such as starting, accelerating, cruising, and overcoming road obstacles. Currently, automatic transmission vehicles do not require manual gear shifting by the driver; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. In contrast, manual transmission 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.
