What Do the Gears in a Manual Transmission Car Mean?

[DiMatthew]

Introduction to the gears in a manual transmission car is as follows: 1. First gear is the starting gear, used when the car begins moving from a stop. Another meaning of the starting gear is that it is only used for starting; once the car starts moving, you need to shift to second gear. 2. Second gear is the driving gear, used for low-speed driving, meaning the car moves at a very slow speed. It is not intended for high-speed driving. 3. Third gear is the acceleration gear, where you can start to accelerate by pressing the throttle, increasing the car's speed to a certain level. 4. Fourth gear is the medium-high-speed driving gear, generally the highest gear used on urban roads except for elevated sections. Depending on the vehicle, it is typically used at speeds around 60-70. 5. Fifth gear is the high-speed gear, used only on elevated roads, highways, etc., generally at speeds of 80 or above. 6. R gear is the reverse gear, used when reversing the car.
