What is the difference between low gear and high gear in a car?
1 Answers
The difference is that low gear provides high torque but low top speed, while high gear is the opposite. Below are the functions of gear shifting: 1. Function one: It is used to change the torque and speed of the engine crankshaft to meet the different requirements of driving wheel traction and speed under various driving conditions such as starting, accelerating, driving, and overcoming road obstacles. This allows the car to drive at a very low and stable speed, which would be difficult to achieve solely by the minimum stable speed of the internal combustion engine. 2. Function two: The reverse gear of the transmission enables the car to move backward, and the neutral gear allows the engine to be separated from the transmission system for extended periods during engine startup, parking, and coasting.
