In first gear, or low gear, an automobile's engine runs about three times as fast as the drive shaft. In second gear, the engine does nott have to run as fast; usually it runs about 1.6 times faster than the drive shaft. Finally, in third, or high gear, the engine runs at the same speed as the drive shaft.

Drive-shaft speed = 650 r.p.m.
Transmission in first gear

Engine Speed=
