Which Letter Represents the Forward Gear in an Automatic Transmission?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission forward gear is represented by the letter D. Engaging this gear allows the car to move forward, and it is used for driving on regular roads. Due to different designs across various vehicle models globally, the D gear usually includes gears from 1 to high or 2 to high, automatically shifting based on changes in speed and load. Automatic transmission generally refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and gear-shifting operations. Most automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L.
