The hazards of starting the engine in gear are: 1. Damaging the starter; 2. Harming the parking brake; 3. Causing wear and tear on car components; 4. Easily leading to the vehicle lurching forward and causing accidents. A manual transmission (MT), also known as a manual gearbox, requires the driver to manually shift gears by moving the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. An automatic transmission typically refers to a 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 and gear-shifting operations.
