What is the M1 gear?
1 Answers
M1 indicates that the transmission is in the first gear of manual mode. Below are the classifications of transmissions: 1. AMT: Based on the traditional manual transmission, only the manual operation part is changed, and automatic shifting is achieved through an electronically controlled automatic operating system. AMT has a simple structure, low cost, and good fuel economy, but its comfort is poor, and the automation control is difficult. 2. CVT: A true continuously variable transmission with fewer parts and small size, featuring high efficiency and low fuel consumption. It can also be used as a power coupling and transmission matched with hybrid vehicles. However, it has disadvantages such as complex manufacturing, high investment, easy damage to the transmission belt, and short lifespan. 3. DCT: Adopts a structure with two clutches. DCT inherits the advantages of manual transmissions, such as good fuel economy and high quality, and there is no power interruption during gear shifting, offering good shifting comfort.
