How to Engage Reverse Gear When It's Positioned to the Left of First Gear?
1 Answers
Initially, the gear lever sits in the middle position, which is the neutral gear. If you want to shift into first gear, you need to move the gear lever to the left and then push it forward. At this point, you might feel a slight resistance. This resistance is generated when the transmission synchronizer engages, so a bit more force is required. The operation for engaging reverse gear varies with each car model. For some models, you simply need to push the gear lever to the right and then pull it backward to engage reverse gear.
