Third gear is often direct drive, meaning none of the gears are used.
Direct Drive
A system where a motor or engine directly drives a machine's mechanism without the use of gears, belts, or chains.
- Comprehend the fundamentals of gear dynamics, focusing on how variations in gear dimensions influence speed and torque.
- Comprehend the mechanics of gear ratios and their utilization in drivetrain systems.

Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
In most manual transmission systems, third gear is not direct drive. Direct drive usually refers to a gear configuration where the input and output shafts are directly connected without any reduction or multiplication of speed or torque, which typically occurs in fourth or fifth gear in a five-speed transmission, not third gear.
