How many types of gear levers are generally available for current automobiles?

The automotive gear lever, also known as the Gear?Lever. Traditionally, it is the shifter, which transmits engine power, that is attached to the back of the center console.

Chinese Name: Shift Lever

External Name: Shifter

Position: Continued behind the center console

Role: Responsible for transmitting engine power

The Gear that controls the shifting of the gears is the gear Gear, and therefore an expanded explanation of the Gear is the shifting of the gears or as a gear, and is related to the Gear, the Box Transmission, Gear Lever, Shift Lever, Gear Shifting, and so on.

There are two common types of gear levers in life: the manual gear lever and the automatic gear lever;

Manual Gear Lever

The working principle of a manual gearbox is as follows:

1. Principle: A manual gearbox is made up of gears with different ratios, and the basic principle of its work is to switch different gears to achieve the change of the gear ratio.

2, components: as a key link in the distribution of power, the transmission must be by the power input shaft and output shaft of the two major pieces, plus the gears that make up the transmission, is a manual transmission of the most basic components.

3. Power: the power input shaft is connected to the clutch, and the power transferred from the clutch is directly transferred to the gear set through the input shaft. The gear set is composed of gears with different diameters, and different gear ratios achieve completely different power transmission effects, and the gear shift in normal driving also refers to the gear ratio.

Automatic gear

1, L gear: is a low-speed gear, will limit the speed, in the uphill when hanging this gear, will maintain a high speed and low gear;

2, S gear: is the sports mode, the transmission can be free to shift gears, but the shift will be delayed so that the engine will remain at a high speed for a longer period of time, so that the car will be in low gear for a longer period of time high rpm traveling;

3, D gear: is the forward gear, the car forward driving in the use of the gear;

4, N gear: is the neutral gear, used in a short parking;

5, P gear: is the parking gear, in the parking needs to be placed in the gear in the P gear, the car will stop braking, there will be no skidding;

6, R gear: is the reversing gear, in the Reversing needs to be used, but only when the vehicle is parked to hang the R gear, the vehicle in the slow forward when it hangs into the R gear, will cause serious damage to the car's gearbox.
