How to Reverse a Manual Transmission Car?
1 Answers
Generally, in manual transmission cars, pulling the gear lever back from fifth gear engages reverse gear. In older models, you need to press the gear lever down and then shift into first gear to engage reverse. When shifting into reverse, make sure the car is completely stopped, then press the clutch to shift. The steps for reversing a manual transmission car are as follows: 1. Press the clutch and brake, then shift the gear lever into reverse. 2. Slowly lift the ball of your foot slightly, move your heel back about 5 cm, then gradually lift the ball of your foot until you reach the semi-engagement point. 3. Check the left and right rearview mirrors to see if there are any obstacles or pedestrians behind the vehicle. 4. Once you've ensured it's safe, slowly release the brake to let the car start moving backward. 5. Control the reversing speed by adjusting the clutch.
