What are the gears of a Volkswagen manual transmission car?
1 Answers
The middle position is neutral, where the vehicle's power is not transmitted through the transmission. The R gear is the gear selected when reversing. The remaining gears range from 1st gear to 5th or 6th gear or even higher, depending on the number of gear configurations in the transmission. The specific details are as follows: 1. First gear: Starting gear, the gear used to start the car. It has a similar gear ratio and performance to the reverse gear, so it is not suitable for continuous high-speed operation. Generally, you can shift to second gear once the car starts moving and gains momentum. 2. Second gear: Passing gear, mainly used for navigating complex road conditions and handling complicated situations, such as sharp-angle (right-angle) turns without special obstacles, densely populated and bustling areas, steep slopes, and bumpy roads. 3. Third gear: Transition gear, mainly used for low-speed driving in urban areas. Depending on the situation, you can easily accelerate to shift to fourth gear or decelerate to shift back to second gear. 4. Fourth gear: Driving gear, mainly used for prolonged high-speed and economical driving. Most vehicles achieve their most economical speed in the low-speed range of fourth gear. 5. Fifth gear: High-speed gear, mainly used for long-distance highway driving.
