What is the reason why the manual transmission of the Epica cannot engage reverse gear?
1 Answers
The manual transmission of the Epica may fail to engage reverse gear due to the clutch not being fully depressed or the gear teeth being perfectly aligned. Clutch not fully depressed: Some cars are quite sensitive and require the clutch to be fully depressed before engaging gear. Simply pressing the clutch pedal all the way down should resolve the issue. Gear teeth perfectly aligned: Many cars are not equipped with synchronizers, and if the gear teeth of two gears happen to align, the gear may get stuck, making it impossible to engage reverse. In such cases, simply shifting into a forward gear again can help. Synchronizers effectively prevent impact between gear teeth or spline teeth and can achieve synchronization through friction.
