What to Do When Suddenly Unable to Engage Reverse Gear?

[OKayden]

Solutions for suddenly being unable to engage reverse gear vary depending on the vehicle model. Here are the respective solutions: Manual Transmission: Try pulling over and checking if the gear can be engaged while idling. If it still doesn't work, you'll need to call for towing assistance. Automatic Transmission: It might be due to low battery voltage, which triggers the transmission's protection program. Simply recharge the battery. Here are some additional details: Introduction: Reverse gear, fully known as the reverse driving gear, is one of the three standard gears in a car. It is marked as 'R' on the gear console and is designed to allow the vehicle to move backward, serving as a special driving gear. Location and Design Concept: In automatic transmission cars, the reverse gear is mostly located at the front of the gear console, right after the P (Park) gear and before the N (Neutral) gear. Whether the car has a P gear or not, the reverse gear and the drive gear are always separated by the neutral gear. Engaging or disengaging the R gear requires pressing the brake pedal and either pressing the safety button on the gear lever or pushing down the gear shift lever.
