What is the best gear ratio for driving up hill with a heavy load?

gear 2


When should a driver will use the 2?

Driver use gear 'L' or '2' when driving uphill or downhill which required higher gear ratio to move the uphill. Downhill wise, driver use '2' or 'L' for safety purpose. The low gear ratio will use the high gear ratio to slow down the speed of driving downhill and creating 'pulling' force on your car to safety purposes. Gear '2' can be use for overtaking on the highway too provided at the appropriate speed.


What is the gear ratio on a stock 1973 Nova 4 door 307?

More than likely a 3.08 gear ratio. which is a highway gear and a little strip very little unless not stock clutch/torque conveter


What gear would you most likely use in the highway driving?

Once you have achieved highway speed, you would stay in the highest gear, except for steep uphill or downhill grades.


What would driving in first gear at highway speed for 30 minutes do to a car?

Common cars can't do highway speeds (65 mph) in first gear and many have rev limiters.


When you use a gear with a small diameter to drive a gear with a large diameter what is increased speed or torque?

Torque is increased on the larger, driven gear. The increase can be calculated as the ratio of the radii of the two gears. For example, if the small gear has a radius of 2 cm and the larger gear has a radius of 10 cm, the torque ratio is 10/2 (ten to two), or 5/1 (five to one). So the driven gear is producing 5 times the torque of the driving gear. The speed ratio is the reverse; the driven gear is rotating at 1/5 the speed of the driving gear.


Which gear turns faster if the driving gear is larger than the driven gear?

according to velocity ratio i.e N1/N2 = D2/D1 which implies that diameter of gear is inversly proportaional to speed . hence, DRIVEN GEAR will move faster as it is smaller in size than the DRIVING GEAR


Can driving gear be larger than driven gear in a gear drive?

Yes, it just makes the ratio different. Such as 1 to 3.00 instead of 3:00 to 1


What is the d with the circle for on a Mercury Sable gear shift?

it is to select "overdrive" gear in transmission. mainly for highway driving. if you have both "D" and "D" with circle around it, use "D" for most driving needs.


Why is gear ratio also called velocity ratio?

The gear ratio of a train, also known as its speed ratio, is the ratio of the angular velocity of the input gear to the velocity of the output gear. The gear ratio is very important when it comes to physics.
