What is the lever in a car called?
1 Answers
In a car, the lever used for shifting gears is called the gear shift lever. Here is some relevant information: 1. Manual transmission: A car that uses a manual gear shift mechanical transmission (also known as manual transmission, MT) to adjust speed. That is, the gear shift lever must be manually moved to change the gear meshing position inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve the intention of shifting gears. The gear shift lever can only be moved when the clutch is depressed. 2. Automatic transmission: As the name suggests, an automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, an automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L.
