What is the method for shifting gears in a manual transmission?
1 Answers
Method for shifting gears in a manual transmission: 1. Start in first gear, then shift to second gear after driving a few meters; 2. Shift to third gear when the speed reaches above 20 mph and below 35 mph; 3. Shift to fourth gear when the speed reaches above 35 mph and below 45 mph; 4. Shift to fifth gear when the speed exceeds 45 mph. For vehicles with six or more gears, shift up one gear for every additional 15 mph increase in speed. Additionally, monitor the engine RPM during gear shifts and shift promptly when it reaches around 2500 RPM. A manual transmission, also known as a manual gearbox, requires the driver to manually move the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. Working principle of manual transmission: The shift fork changes the gear ratio of the meshing gears, thereby adjusting the driving torque to suit different operating conditions.
