Transmission And GearsStandalone practice
Why should a manual-transmission driver use the proper gear?
Correct answer: To maintain control and avoid lugging or over-revving the engine
Why
Select a gear suitable for road speed and conditions so the engine does not lug or race. Use the owner’s manual for the vehicle’s shifting pattern and suitable change speeds.
