What is the normal RPM range for a manual transmission?
1 Answers
For a manual transmission, an RPM range of 1500 to 3000 is considered normal. After starting, when the vehicle speed reaches 20 km/h (with RPM between 1500-2000), shift to 2nd gear. When the speed reaches 30 km/h (with RPM above 2000), shift to 3rd gear. At 50 km/h (with RPM around 3000), shift to 4th gear. A manual transmission, also known as a manual gearbox, requires the driver to manually move the gear lever to change the gear engagement mechanism inside the transmission, thereby altering the gear ratio for speed adjustment. Its working principle involves using shift forks to modify the transmission ratio or gear ratio of meshing gears, consequently changing the driving torque to suit different operating conditions.
