Two systems
How each transmission changes gear
Automatic Transmission
Depending on the speed of the vehicle, gears are changed when engine revolutions reach set limits. This requires nothing from the driver aside from pressing the gas pedal.
Manual Transmission
The driver pushes his foot on the clutch pedal and moves the stick shift to the next gear which can be up or down depending if they are speeding up or slowing down.
