Which Gear is Considered a Low Gear?
1 Answers
Low gears generally refer to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears in a car's forward gear range. Below is relevant information about car gears: 1. Speed range: 1st gear corresponds to speeds of 0-5 km/h, 2nd gear to 5-20 km/h, 3rd gear to 20-40 km/h, 4th gear to 40-60 km/h, and 5th gear to 60-100 km/h. 2. Gear shifting timing: For most cars, the optimal shifting point is when the engine reaches 2000 r/min, and should not exceed 2500 r/min. For some high-displacement, high-power engines, shifting can occur around 3000 r/min.
