I’m mainly asking because i can’t wrap my head around the concept of stick shift.
ex: would 1st gear be good from “X” mph until “Y” mph and then you need to switch to 2nd gear?

Yes, they do. First gear is lowest speed up until either 5th or 6th depending on the number of gears. From my experience first gear is from 0 until 15ish mph. So, fully stopped to moving slowly. I usually shifted to second once I had reached the right amount of acceleration and needed to shift up to second. Or, if I needed to slow down and turn a corner, I would downshift and slow down from 3rd or 4th into 2nd for better handling. 5th or 6th would be used for highway driving and most city stop and go driving is done using 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear.
