How to engage reverse gear in a Wuling 6-speed transmission?

[DiMatteo]

For a 6-speed manual transmission, press the brake pedal, then press the first button of the 6-speed manual transmission vehicle. With the 6-speed manual transmission vehicle running and the vehicle in motion, depress the clutch and shift into the desired gear at an appropriate speed. To engage reverse gear, pull the lock ring and press the accelerator pedal. Additional information is as follows: 1. Precautions: Before reversing, it is essential to assess the vehicle and road conditions to ensure safe reversing. 2. While reversing: If terrain or steering angle is restricted, it may be necessary to move forward repeatedly. When reversing or approaching the stopping point, quickly use the vehicle's movement to prepare for a second or backward turn. After stopping, avoid forcefully turning the steering wheel to prevent damage.

Shifting into reverse gear in a Wuling manual transmission car is actually quite simple. First, you need to fully depress the clutch pedal. When I drive the Wuling Hongguang, the reverse gear position on the 6-speed transmission is at the top left corner of the gear lever. You need to push the lever all the way to the left and then forward, applying a bit of downward pressure to engage it. This design prevents accidental shifting into reverse while driving. Always make sure the car is completely stopped and the clutch is fully depressed before shifting, otherwise you'll hear a harsh grinding noise, which can damage the transmission. I usually glance at the gear pattern when shifting—the H-shaped diagram printed on the gear lever base is quite intuitive. If it doesn't engage, don't force it; return to neutral, depress the clutch again, and try once more.

We veteran Wuling drivers all know that engaging reverse gear in a six-speed transmission requires some finesse. Press the clutch pedal all the way to the floor with your left foot, then cup the gear lever with your entire right palm and push it left until it stops. You'll feel a spring resistance - maintain downward pressure without releasing, then push forward to fully engage. The key is executing this downward press decisively; hesitation will leave it stuck midway. Newcomers typically make two mistakes: either not pressing deep enough, or forcing it while the vehicle is still rolling. Remember, the reverse gear is only successfully engaged when the R indicator lights up on the dashboard.

The Wuling's 6-speed gearbox has a foolproof design for reverse gear engagement. With the clutch fully depressed, the gear lever requires a two-step operation: first push it horizontally to the leftmost limit position, then overcome spring resistance to press downward while maintaining pressure and pushing forward. This mechanism adds one more locking step compared to normal forward gears, preventing accidental operation while driving. The transmission gear ratio is negative, which explains the particularly loud noise - this is normal. If you can't engage it, try returning the gear lever to neutral first, depress the clutch deeply again, then repeat the operation.
