What is the name of the gear shifting position?
1 Answers
The lever used for shifting gears is called the handbrake, and its professional term is the auxiliary brake. Below are specific details about the handbrake: 1. Introduction: The professional term for the handbrake is the auxiliary brake. Unlike the principle of the main brake, it uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the vehicle. Long-term use of the handbrake can cause the steel cable to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, prolonged use will reduce its effectiveness, and the handbrake's travel will also increase. 2. Composition: It consists of a brake lever, cable, brake mechanism, and return spring, acting on the drive shaft or rear wheel brakes to achieve vehicle stability.
