What is car gear dragging?
1 Answers
Car gear dragging is caused by a mismatch between speed and gear position, mostly referring to high gear at low speed. For manual transmission vehicles, driving at high speed with a low gear engaged forcibly reduces the engine speed, leading to decreased power and potential damage to the car. Below are some basic gear shifting knowledge: 1. The gear lever is located on the right side, with most designs being five-speed cars. First gear accelerates to about 10 km/h, for example, speeds from 0 to 10 km/h fall within the first gear range, 10-20 km/h in the second gear range; 20-30 km/h in the third gear range; 30-40 km/h in the fourth gear range; 50 km/h and above in the fifth gear range, with the upper limit depending on the car's horsepower. 2. After shifting to a certain gear, the vehicle can maintain a constant speed without pressing the accelerator. Therefore, the gear is the driving force for the car's movement, while the accelerator is only used to accelerate within the current gear.
