High or Low Gear

[mazdamazda]

Am confused...

Is the 1st gear of your tranny the highest or lowest gear?

AFAIK, it is has the highest gear ratio, so it is the "highest gear". While the 4/5/6/7 gears are the "lowest gear" since they have the lowest gear ratio.

Thanks,

low gear = 1st gear
kung baga parang name application lang sa layman's term
since "1st" gear is lower than "2nd"
1 is less or lower than 2

now about the gear ratio that's techincal term.

ganon din kay kimpoy ang paniniwala ko, mga PUV drivers kasi ang madalas kong maringgan nang ganyan eh, kapag may tinuturuan silang baguhan. although depende yan sa ibang driver..... me nakausap kasi ako na baliktad naman ang deskripsyon nya, parang yung kay M2....

[pissword]

low gear for me is 1st gear at high gear ang 5th

kasi po sa max speed... i mean it would be confusing diba if sabihin na switch to lower gear to attain higher speed

mas maganda pakinggan ang higher gear higher speed

In layman's terms, 1st gear is the lowest gear... but technically, it's the highest ratio... 4th or 5th gear are the highest gears, but the lowest ratio... usually at 1:1 or close to it.

Teka teka... ako'y nalito rin bago ako magpost.

To clear things, gears that have higher numerical order are infact the lower gears. Always use the gears numbers with rational aspect 1:4.625, 1:4.11, 1:6.25 etc... so the higher the number or closer ratio to 1 are the low gears. Succeeding higher gears should have lower numerical ratio.

depende yan kung sino kausap mo... heeh..

sa akin naintindihan ko lang yan nung may nagsabi sa aking ng ganito: ang first gear yung size ng 10 cent coin, second gear 25 cent coin, third gear 50 cent coin, fourth gear 1 peso coin.

so habang lumalaki yung size ng gear tumataas yung ratio = high gear. maganda ring halimbawa yung sa bisikleta na may kambyo hehehehe
