What Do the Gears in a Manual Transmission Mean?

Manual transmission gear introduction: 1. 1st gear: Used for normal starting or climbing very steep slopes, with speeds generally around 10 km/h; 2. 2nd gear: A transitional gear for acceleration after starting, or for low-speed driving or climbing steep slopes, with speeds generally around 20 km/h; 3. 3rd gear: Typically used at speeds between 20 km/h and 40 km/h, often employed for city driving; 4. 4th gear: Used at speeds between 40 km/h and 60 km/h; 5. 5th gear: Suitable for speeds above 60 km/h, used for high-speed driving. A manual transmission requires manually shifting the gear lever to change the gear meshing inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. On one hand, it provides the joy of manual control, and on the other, it allows for independent control of engine speed, enabling delayed or early gear shifts.
