What speed corresponds to which gear in a manual transmission?
1 Answers
Manual transmission first gear usually corresponds to speeds below 20 km/h. Second gear is between 20 km/h and 35 km/h. Third gear is between 35 km/h and 45 km/h. Fourth gear is between 45 km/h and 60 km/h. Fifth gear is for speeds above 60 km/h, and if the vehicle has a sixth gear, you can shift to 6th gear at 80 km/h. Here are some additional tips: 1. Manual transmission shifting techniques: If you notice the vehicle shaking while driving, it indicates the engine is operating at low speed with high load. Immediately downshift one or two gears according to the actual situation. When shifting gears, coordinate the clutch and throttle properly - press the clutch pedal all the way down while simultaneously releasing the accelerator pedal, then quickly shift to the appropriate gear. Release your hand immediately after shifting - don't keep it on the gear lever for too long as this can easily damage the transmission. 2. Shift completely: After driving for long periods, some drivers become casual about shifting and release the clutch before the gear is fully engaged, which can cause significant damage to the transmission. Therefore, always ensure complete gear engagement and fully depress the clutch pedal when shifting.
