What gear is the transmission in when the engine is driving the car directly?

  1. first gear
  2. second gear
  3. third gear
  4. fourth gear

Answer(s): C

In a three-speed car first gear is used to get the car moving. Second gear is used to get it moving a little fester.
Then it is placed in third gear when it has reached a higher speed and needs less power to make it move even fester. When the third gear is engaged, no gear reduction is taking place and the engine speed is reflected in the speed at which the wheels turn.

  2. be in third gear

Answer(s): C
