Why Can't the Manual Transmission Reverse Gear Engage?
1 Answers
Reasons why the manual transmission reverse gear is difficult to engage: The clutch pedal is not fully depressed, or the gear teeth happen to align. Here is some relevant information: Inside the structure of a manual transmission, there is a very important component called the "synchronizer." Without a synchronizer, forcing a slowly rotating gear into a high-speed rotating gear would inevitably cause gear grinding. The function of the synchronizer is to match the speed of the gear about to be engaged with the speed of the output gear during a gear shift, thus preventing gear grinding. This allows the gear to be engaged smoothly.
