What does the L on your gearshift mean?
It means a Low gear range.
How do you change a 18 speed transmission?
How you "shift" an 18 speed, manual shift, transmission. This transmission shifts by the driver manually moving the shift lever and also by the driver moving a high / low range control switch mounted on the shift lever as well as a direct ratio / overdrive ratio control, also mounted on the shift lever. The high/low and the direct/overdrive shifts are done by air pressure using the vehicles compressed air system. If you have no experience with a manual transmission, the following will most likely seem as if it were written in a different language... one you don't speak, but you should understand this if you have truck driving experience with a manual trans. that had a range shift, or if you have driven a truck with a two speed rear axle. If you are familiar with a 13 speed trans, you shift the 18 speed the same, only with the 18 speed, you can "split" the lo range gears also. If you are not familiar with that... The 18 speed Fuller Roadranger has a 5 speed and reverse "H" shift pattern, (with neutral being in the "middle") that you repeat twice. The pattern, on left hand drive trucks, would be, starting in low range direct, low, or creeper gear, which is over to you and down, followed by first gear, up over and up, second , straight down, third, again up over and up, and fourth, straight down. Each one of these stick positions in low and then again in high range, can be "split" in direct ratio and overdrive ratio. In other words, you can get two shifts in each shift lever position, so if you are counting you start with the transmission in low range, the splitter in direct put the shifter in low gear position and get two shifts using the splitter, gears 1-2. You would make the 1-2 shift by moving the splitter button from direct to overdrive, not the stick. When you are ready for the next upshift, move the shift lever out of the low gear position to first gear position, and just before you accelerate, flip the splitter back to direct and you get gears 3-4, move shift lever again split 5-6, move lever split 7-8, move lever split 9-10. Now you have reached the last shift in low range and you repeat the shift pattern by shifting into high range moving the shift lever out of the 10th. gear position and passing through neutral and going back into first gear's spot, only now you are in high range, and you will go into 11th gear by pulling the splitter button back into direct as soon as shift lever has been put into the "first" gear spot...split 11-12, move lever split 13- 14, move lever split 15-16, move lever into the "Big Hole" and split 17- 18. There. Simple as pie, wasn't it? And the government considers all this "unskilled labor." HA! I'd like to see a politician shift an 18 speed. Having 18 speeds does not mean you have to use all 18 speeds, or whatever amount of gears a particular transmission you may be driving would have, it depends on the load and terrain what gear you need to start from a stop in, as well as which ones you can skip depending on the load, your speed, the terrain etc.
What does it mean to get it in gear?
When you are driving a car with a manual transmission, you do not move at the normal, rapid speed of driving until you have shifted into 3rd gear. So metaphorically, you can say that to do something with a suitable speed involves getting in gear.
What is the instrument of gear?
"Gear" can mean two different things. In engineering /tech speak, a gear is a way of trading power for speed, or the other way around, as is done in the gear box/transmission of a car for instance. But "gear" in everyday language can simply mean "stuff", "things" or "equipment". You can have swimming gear, safety gear, camping gear etc.
What does never coast in neutral in your car mean?
It means that say you reach a speed of 55 mph. Never shift from drive into neutral (Or a gear into neutral) to slow in speed.
What does range of values mean?
a rang of values is a list of different Numbers eg: the speed of every car in a race would be a range of values
What does it mean when a cars transmission is semiautomatic?
Semiautomatic means that you don't need to operate the clutch but you do need to select the gear range manually.
How should you read the Black Stallion series?
Do you mean orientation, speed, order, age range?
What causes a 5 speed transmission not to shift with the shifter?
if you mean it wont go into gear and it grinds like a sob but other gears still work synchronizers. if you mean the shifter is loose an cant find the gear anymore - linkage. if it wont go into any gear sounds like a clutch problem
Why does your 1999 cavalier 5 speed miss out?
Miss out? I am not sure what you mean. If you are saying that it wont go into gear, or its throwing it out of gear, the transmission is going (A gear has shattered). If it is "missing" or miss-firing, it could be your plugs and wires. Those are the most common solutions to this.
What speed is third gear on your 1993 Chevy truck?
I'm not real sure what your question is but I'll try to answer. In all cases speed within a gear selection depends on your trucks rear differential gear ratio. If you mean what is the lowest speed you can shift to third gear you should be able to drive on flat surfaces as low as 20 mph. If your truck seems to run well you are OK. If your truck jerks or seems to be laboring, you probably have a very high gear in the rear end and may need to wait to about 25 mph. If you are talking about the maximum speed you can go in third gear you will know when you reach it because you will have also reached maximum effective RPM on your engine and the truck will simply not go any faster in that gear.
In motorbike terms What is the difference between 5 speed and 6 speed?
There really is no difference besides one added gear but that doesn't mean it is faster i means that it needs more gears to go through to get to the speed of what many 5 gears can.
