What is the reason why the Baojun 730 suddenly cannot engage reverse gear?

The reason why the Baojun 730 cannot engage reverse gear is that the car temperature is low, and the transmission oil is not fully lubricated; it is difficult to shift gears while moving, and the vehicle speed and gear do not match; first gear and reverse gear do not have synchronizers. Definition of reverse gear: Reverse gear, fully known as the reverse driving gear, is one of the three standard gears of a car, marked as R on the gear console, with the purpose of enabling the vehicle to move backward, belonging to a special driving gear. The solutions for not being able to engage reverse gear are: Try to engage reverse gear when the vehicle is stationary. If the transmission makes a clicking sound of gear collision during the process, it means that the clutch of the vehicle is not completely separated. After repairing the clutch, the fault can be eliminated; if reverse gear engages smoothly, but first gear is difficult to engage, it is recommended to go to a specialized repair shop to adjust the gear position and change the transmission oil, and the fault can also be eliminated.
I've encountered similar issues when driving a manual transmission car, and suddenly not being able to engage reverse gear can be quite frustrating. There are several common causes: first, the clutch isn't fully depressed, and improper operation can lead to difficulty in shifting; second, worn clutch plates or hydraulic system leaks can cause power transmission failure, preventing the linkage with the transmission; third, damaged synchronizers, especially the reverse gear synchronizer, which is prone to issues after prolonged use; fourth, stuck gearshift levers or linkage mechanisms, such as from winter freezing or dirt buildup; fifth, damaged or deformed gear teeth, which is an internal mechanical fault. When you can't engage reverse gear, I recommend trying a few times first to ensure the clutch is fully depressed. If it still doesn't work, don't force it to avoid causing more damage. It's best to stop and check the fluid level or seek professional repair—safety first. Regular maintenance of transmission oil can help prevent such faults from occurring.
