With the continuous upgrading of car manufacturing technology, the manufacturing cost of fuel vehicles has further declined. Compared with previous years, the same car purchase budget can purchase new models with higher configurations. More and more new models use automatic transmission gearboxes, and some new models have even cancelled manual transmission models. This does not mean that manual transmission models are not easy to use, but cannot adapt to the existing car use environment!
Of course, not everyone favors automatic transmission models. Manual transmission is equivalent to driving pleasure in many people's eyes. Some car manufacturers have not given up on the research and development of manual transmissions. Compared with the early 5-speed manuals, more and more new cars are equipped with 6-speed manual transmissions. Some car owners do not know about this, and they even don't know what the difference between the two is. For the same manual transmission models, which is better, 6-speed or 5-speed? There is a big gap in actual car experience!
is similar to an AT gearbox. The manual gear also uses numbers to indicate the reserves of the forward gear. Major automobile brands have long-term use of 5MT gearboxes, which means that the vehicle has five forward gears. Family cars will use a maximum of 6MT gearboxes, while some large vehicles will use 8MT and 10MT gearboxes. In fact, the working principles of these gearboxes are similar.
When the number is small, the ability of the driving gear to amplify the vehicle speed is worse, but it has the ability to amplify torque, which completes the gear change from starting to acceleration. As the gear increases, the engine speed and torque will also decrease, but the vehicle will obtain a higher speed. In order to improve fuel economy, low-end gearboxes will inevitably be eliminated by high-end gearboxes.
6-speed manual shift is more stable than 5-speed manual shifting. This is because the transmission ratio adjustment of the 6-speed transmission is more accurate, and the transmission ratio difference between gears is smaller, so as to provide an excellent driving comfort; as mentioned above, the transmission efficiency of 6- speed is higher than that of 5-speed, which means that the fuel consumption of 6-speed manual is lower than that of 5-speed manual; but due to the improvement of the precision of the transmission, the maintenance cost of 6-speed manual is higher than that of 5-speed manual; 6-speed manual can also provide higher vehicle speeds at lower speeds, and the engine operation pressure decreases accordingly, which can effectively reduce the noise generated by engine operation!
Of course, there is another very important thing, that is, based on the actual usage, most models regard 6 gear as a high-speed cruise gear, which means that car companies recommend that car owners use 6 gear when driving at high speed for a long time. This can effectively reduce the engine speed, reduce drag, and reduce fuel consumption and noise. The effect of using it in cities is not obvious. If there are frequent traffic jams in your city or there is no need to drive at high speed, you will not be able to play the advantages of 6 gear manual models, but you will have to bear the shortcomings of high maintenance costs. It can be seen that the gap between 6 speed manual and 5 speed manual is very large, and choosing the wrong one means making mistakes.
In fact, the gap between 6-speed manual and 5-speed manual for models with the same displacement is not very big, especially for vehicles used for transportation in cities. Long-term low-speed driving cannot exert the advantages of a 6-speed transmission. Therefore, 6-speed manual models are rare, and they are only seen on some high-end models. What do you think about this? Do you think it is necessary to buy a 6MT model?
