How come we can’t just add X amount of gears to a transmission and have one of the most efficient cars ever?
In: 95
You need more power to be able to drive a higher gear. An example is my bike. I fitted a new final drive with a longer ratio because my old one grenaded itself. Now for a given speed I have a lower RPM in fifth gear but the ratio is too tall for my bike’s engine to overcome and I have a higher top speed in fourth.
So now I HAVE to fit a big bore kit to get more power.
