What are the gears in a manual transmission car?
1 Answers
Manual transmission cars have gears labeled as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and R (Reverse). Gears 1 through 5 are forward gears, while R is the reverse gear. 1st gear is the starting gear, used when the car is idling to begin movement, with a speed range of 0km to 15km. It is also used for uphill and downhill driving, relying on the engine's traction to control speed. 2nd gear is engaged after starting in 1st gear, with a speed range of 10km to 25km. 3rd gear is engaged after slightly accelerating in 2nd gear, marking the beginning of normal driving speeds, with a range of 20km to 45km. 4th gear is the highest gear used in most urban driving, with a speed range of 40km to 60km. 5th gear is engaged when the vehicle reaches higher speeds, maintaining high-speed driving, typically at 60km or above. R gear is the reverse gear, used when the vehicle needs to move backward.
