What is the speed range corresponding to manual transmission gears?
1 Answers
The speed range for first gear is 0 to 10 mph, second gear is 10 to 20 mph, third gear is 20 to 40 mph, and fourth gear is 40 to 60 mph. Below is some related information about gear positions: Straight-line gear positions are easy to engage: This gear position design is very common, and many automatic transmission models from various brands currently use this type. The advantage of this straight-line gear position design is that shifting is relatively straightforward, while the disadvantage is that it's easy to engage the wrong gear when operating blindly. Stepped gear positions are harder to engage: Stepped gear positions, also known as serpentine gear positions, are another very common design for automatic transmission gear positions. Their advantages and disadvantages are exactly the opposite of straight-line gear positions. The advantage is that it's harder to engage the wrong gear, while the disadvantage is that the operation is not as direct as with straight-line gear positions.
