Where is the reverse gear position in a manual transmission?
1 Answers
Manual transmission reverse gear position is the R gear. On the shift lever of manual transmission cars, there are markings. The reverse gear in automatic transmission cars is also the R gear. After shifting into R gear, the reverse gear will engage, allowing the car to move backward. Most manual transmission cars do not have a synchronizer for the reverse gear. The correct method to start a manual transmission car is: 1. Fully depress the clutch; 2. Shift into 1st gear; 3. Turn on the left turn signal; 4. Honk the horn as a reminder; 5. Release the handbrake; 6. Gently lift the clutch with the left foot; 7. The vehicle starts moving, keep the clutch steady with the left foot, avoid pressing down or lifting to prevent stalling; 8. After holding steady for 3 seconds, slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator with the right foot, then slowly release the accelerator, fully depress the clutch to shift into 2nd gear, and repeat this process to shift into 3rd gear, completing a smooth start.
