How to Engage Reverse Gear When It's Next to First Gear?
1 Answers
When you find it difficult to engage reverse gear, it might be because the clutch is not fully depressed. In this case, simply press the clutch again. If the clutch is fully depressed but you still can't engage reverse gear, it could be that the gear teeth are aligned, as many car models do not have a synchronizer for reverse gear, making it difficult to engage. Below is an introduction to automatic transmission gear positions: 1. P (Park): The parking lock position. When the gear lever is moved to this position, the drive wheels are mechanically locked. The gear lever can only be moved to this position after the car has come to a complete stop. To move the gear lever out of this position, you must press the brake pedal and turn on the ignition. 2. R (Reverse): The reverse position. Move the gear lever to this position when reversing. The gear lever can only be moved to this position after the car has come to a complete stop. 3. N (Neutral): The neutral position. When the gear lever is moved to this position, the transmission does not engage any gear. No power is transmitted to the wheels, and the engine's braking function cannot be utilized. 4. D (Drive): The driving position. When the gear lever is moved to this position, the transmission automatically shifts gears within the engine's speed range. The shift points depend on engine load, the driver's driving style, and vehicle speed. 5. S (Sport): The sport driving position. When the gear lever is moved to this position, the transmission automatically shifts gears within a higher engine speed range than in D mode, making full use of the engine's power. The shift points depend on engine load, the driver's driving style, and vehicle speed.
