Is Reverse Gear the R Gear?

[LaSadie]

Reverse gear is indeed the R gear, whether in manual transmission or automatic transmission vehicles. In manual transmissions, the gears are typically divided into 1st gear, 2nd gear, 3rd gear, 4th gear, 5th gear, and R gear, where gears 1 through 5 are forward gears, and R is the reverse gear. Some models now come with a 6th gear. Generally, in manual transmissions, 1st gear is at the top left, 2nd gear at the bottom left, 3rd gear at the upper middle, 4th gear at the lower middle, 5th gear at the top right, and R gear at the bottom right, with the center position being neutral, which is the gear used when waiting at a red light or parking. In automatic transmissions: D gear is the drive gear, N gear is neutral, and R gear is the reverse gear. The reverse gear, fully known as the reverse driving gear, is one of the three standard gears in a car, marked as R on the gear console, designed to allow the vehicle to move backward, and is considered a special driving gear.
