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?

You got it. It’s just like a multi gear bike in that larger gears are harder to push at lower speeds and smaller gears spin too fast at higher speeds.
The bike however uses a simple slip mechanism to slip the chain from one gear to the next. A car uses a clutch which disengages the gears while you select the next gear then reengage by letting the clutch back out. It’s a touch more complicated than that, but that’s the gist of it.
