What does MT mean for a car?
1 Answers
MT in a car stands for Manual Transmission. Most manual transmissions are four-speed or five-speed stepped gear transmissions, usually equipped with synchronizers for easier shifting and reduced noise. When operating, the clutch must be depressed to move the gear lever. Manual transmissions achieve speed variation through the combination of gears of different sizes, commonly featuring 5 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, or 6 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. A manual transmission consists of the transmission mechanism, transmission housing, and control mechanism. The transmission mechanism can be categorized by the number of forward gears into three-speed, four-speed, five-speed, and multi-speed transmissions; and by the type of shaft into fixed-axis and rotating-axis transmissions.
