What does gear mismatch mean?
1 Answers
Gear mismatch refers to the mismatch between speed and the selected gear. Here are the detailed explanations: Gear introduction: First gear within 10 km/h, second gear between 10-20 km/h, third gear between 20-30 km/h, fourth gear between 30-40 km/h, and fifth gear can be used above 40-50 km/h. Effects of gear mismatch: Increased component wear: Prolonged mismatch can accelerate component wear and lead to premature damage to the engine and transmission; Insufficient engine power: It can easily cause the engine to stall due to insufficient power or make the engine struggle, resulting in vehicle vibration. Transmission gears: In the transmission gears, gears with smaller numbers are called low gears. The smaller the number, the greater the gear ratio and traction, and the lower the speed. Gears with larger numbers are called high gears. The larger the number, the smaller the gear ratio and traction, and the higher the speed.
