Where is the neutral position in a manual transmission?
1 Answers
Manual transmission's neutral position is located in the middle of the gear control. Manual transmission models have gears from 1st to 5th, R gear and neutral gear, where 1st to 5th gears are forward gears and R is the reverse gear. The positions of each gear are: 1st gear at the top left, 2nd gear at the bottom left, 3rd gear at the top center, 4th gear at the bottom center, 5th gear at the top right, and R gear at the bottom right. Neutral gear means the vehicle's gearshift lever is not engaged in any forward or reverse gear, and the transmission is completely disengaged from the drive wheels. Neutral gear is used in situations such as towing, waiting at traffic lights, coasting in neutral, shifting gears while driving, and parking.
