I’ve driven manual for years and STILL don’t understand why you need to change gears.

I get that low gears > more power but low speed. I get that high gears >low power but high speed.

But can someone give me the brain dead intuition of why you need to change gear “sizes”? A single sentence if possible.

I’ve tried Googling it but they always use a bike example. I’ve never ridden a bike. Or they start talking about ratios and it just goes over my head.

>Or they start talking about ratios and it just goes over my head.

So what if they start talking about ratios?

How do you expect someone to explain how a gear box works without mentioning ratios?

Why do ratios stop you from understanding the article?
