What Do the Numbers on a Manual Transmission Represent?

[LeEverett]

Manual transmission numbers represent different gears. First gear is used for starting, second gear can also be used for starting, while higher gears are used when speed increases. Specific details are as follows: 1. First and second gears have relatively high torque, while third, fourth, and fifth gears don't have as much torque but allow for higher speeds. When driving a manual transmission car, the gear should match the engine's RPM and the vehicle's speed. 2. A manual transmission is a gear-shifting mechanism that alters the speed and torque transmitted from the engine to the drive wheels. It enables the car to achieve different traction forces and speeds under various conditions such as starting from a standstill, climbing hills, turning corners, and accelerating, while also allowing the engine to operate within a more favorable range.
