What does MT mean in manual transmission?
1 Answers
MT is the abbreviation for manual transmission. MT is also known as a mechanical transmission, which requires the driver to manually shift the gear lever (commonly known as the "gear stick") to change the gear meshing position inside the transmission, thereby altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. The advantages and disadvantages of manual transmission are as follows: Advantages: 1. Faster response during acceleration and overtaking (for skilled drivers); 2. High transmission efficiency; 3. Simple structure, easy to repair. Disadvantages: 1. Relatively complex operation (requires perfect coordination between the clutch and gear lever); 2. Higher driving skill requirements (improper operation can easily lead to gear dragging or stalling).
