The number of gears, refers to the number of the step-gear gearbox has.
Multi-gear manual transmission number is 5 or 6-speed, automatic transmission and more for 4-8 speed, the more the block number, the conditions on the exercise of automobiles better adaptability, lower fuel consumption, but also more complex transmission, inconvenient operation, the cost is high. In the gear transmission, a small block called a digital low range, the smaller the number, the greater the ratio, the greater traction, the lower the vehicle speed. If a block minimum speed, but maximum traction. Block is called a large number of high-speed, the larger the number, the smaller the ratio, the smaller traction, the higher the vehicle speed. The five-speed transmission, five speed maximum speed, tractive force is minimal.
and the CVT transmission gear is not in theory, but in order to more fun to drive, a corresponding plurality of values taken on a continuous gearbox with gear ratio of the CVT trip computer, an analog of a conventional automatic transmission the power output.
