Question

What does it mean when someone says my car has 'low gearing'?

Answer 1

It's geared more for power and torque than it is for speed. Low gears are ones that turn slower under hugh engine rpms, using the horsepower of the engine to apply huge amounts of torque to the drive wheels.

Answer 2

First off, that does not mean your car has no power, that just means its not for high speeds, a low gear on most vehicles is for towing or for steep inclines. You car has more power when its barely moving, that's how my dad puts it =). We used to have a Colorado and when we would tow heavy stuff we'd put her in low =-)! Hope this helps ya out.

Answer 3

IT means that your car is a PIECE OF S*HIT and you need to FIX THE DAMN HELL OUT OF IT!!!!. JUST KIDDING..... it means that when you shift to speed positions your SHIFT KNOB doesn't function properly. you might wanna double check on this info by going to your near AUTO PARTS place!

Answer 4

it means that your car is very slow, has no power to it

Answer 5

Gearing refers to the ratio between speed and revs per minute. Low gearing means high engine revolutions for the same speed.

Answer 6

You know how cars have different gears? The low gears are for power and towing and the High gears are for speeed. Well your car was not meant for speed, which means it must have either a small motor or it was meant to tow or go off road.
