Gearbox's in Spintires and Mudrunner feature a different number of ranges depending on the vehicle.

Overdrive gears result in great loss in torque and it is not uncommon for many heavy duty trucks to lack OD.

5th gear is the highest gear and the overdrive gear, an overdrive gear can provide a full output rotation with a 3/4 turn of the engine. 4th gear is a direct drive gear, in direct drive 1 engine rotation will be exactly 1 output rotation thus providing speed and fuel economy. 2nd would provide a reduction of 3 rotations while 3rd would provide 1.5 rotations to get a single output shaft rotation. 1st gear provides a low gear reduction by converting 5 engine rotations into 1 transmission output shaft rotations. For a simplified explanation a 5 speed transmission will be used as an example( Note: this is not based off a 5 speed gearbox featured in game but rather a practical example that could apply to a gearbox in reality). A gearbox multiplies torque and power output by using gear reduction in low gears while also giving a vehicle better speed and fuel economy by using a direct drive range and overdrive range at the cost of reduced torque. The gearbox is located directly behind the engine and is mated to the engines flywheel or flexplate. The gearbox is a vital component that provides the wheels power produced by the engine while also providing increased torque and speed by using a wide number of gear ratios.
