Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Achsen/Gangschaltung
English term or phrase: X high or intermediate
Im Text geht es um einen Hersteller von Achsen für PKW und LKW. Im wesentlichen wird die Gangschaltung beschrieben, wobei ich es hier ungewöhnlich finde, dass die beschriebenen vier Gänge (teilweise als "first to fourth" bezeichnet) teilweise den Namen des Autoherstellers, teilweise aber auch den des Achsenherstellers tragen.

"X low (first): Used to negotiate deep sand, mud or exceptionally steep grades [...]
Y low (second): Used to start the car under normal conditions and for all ordinary low gear work [...]
*X high or intermediate*(third): Used to climb hills, rough roads or slippery streets and to throttle down or get away quickly in traffic."
Y high (fourth): Used for all ordinary high gear work."

Ich frage mich jetzt, wie man diese Stufen und konkret hier das Eingesternte am adäquatesten im Deutschen wiedergibt. Kann mir da jemand weiterhelfen?

X=Achsenhersteller, Y=Automarke
