What does MT mean on a car?

MT on a car refers to manual transmission, which uses a manual gear-shifting mechanical transmission to regulate the vehicle's speed. It requires manually shifting the gear lever to change the gear meshing positions inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. The gear lever can only be shifted when the clutch is depressed. Manual transmission achieves gear ratio changes by switching different gear sets. A manual transmission consists of a power input shaft, an output shaft, and the gears that make up the transmission. The gears of a manual transmission are divided into: first gear as the starting gear, second gear as the passing gear, third gear as the transition gear, fourth gear as the driving gear, and fifth gear as the high-speed gear.
