What is the corresponding speed for 5th gear?

[DanteRose]

5th gear is suitable for speeds of 60 km/h. Below are the speed ranges for each gear in a manual transmission: 1st gear speed: This gear is used for normal starts or when climbing very steep slopes, with speeds typically around 10 km/h. 2nd gear speed: This is a transitional gear for acceleration after starting, or for low-speed driving and climbing steep slopes, with speeds generally around 20 km/h. 3rd gear speed: This gear is used for speeds between 20-40 km/h and is commonly used for city driving. 4th gear speed: This gear is used for speeds between 40-60 km/h.

The speed in 5th gear is not fixed; it depends on which car model you have and the road conditions at the time. Generally, when driving a manual transmission on the highway, 5th gear is usually the highest gear, with the RPM dropping to around 2000, and the speed may fluctuate between 70 to 100 km/h. This depends on the engine displacement and gear ratio. For example, a small-displacement car like a 1.5L sedan might stabilize at around 80 km/h, while a large-displacement SUV can reach up to 120 km/h. I also recommend paying attention to the tachometer during normal driving—keeping it below 2500 RPM is the most fuel-efficient. Avoid shifting too early, as it may cause the engine to stall or shake. On the highway, 5th gear is key to saving fuel, but don’t speed—safety first. Always adjust gears based on road conditions.

I've been driving for many years, and the 5th gear is mainly used on highways or smooth sections of national roads. There's no specific number because the speed varies depending on the car. In ordinary economy cars like the Toyota Corolla, the speed is about 60-80 km/h at 2000 RPM, while larger displacement vehicles like pickup trucks can maintain a steady 90-120 km/h. The key is driving habits: when driving on the highway, I usually shift to 5th gear after the engine sound stabilizes, which saves fuel and feels comfortable. New car owners need to practice the feel and avoid rushing to shift to higher gears to prevent lugging the engine. The 5th gear is most cost-effective for long-distance driving, but it's not suitable for city driving—keeping lower gears is more flexible. Also, regularly check the vehicle manual, as it provides recommended ranges.

As an ordinary driver, the speed for 5th gear varies by vehicle model, so you need to check the RPM and speed on the dashboard. For example, in my sedan, after shifting at 60km/h, an RPM of 2000-2500 is ideal. When the engine sound is light and vibration is minimal, it's time to shift, balancing economy and performance to avoid fuel waste. Safety tip: Avoid shifting to 5th gear on slopes or in heavy traffic, as it can lead to loss of control. On highways, using it for cruising at 80-100km/h is very stable. Checking the car manual or an app can provide specific recommended speeds. Generally, with a manual transmission, beginners can master it after a few practices.
