Why Can't the Manual Transmission Reverse Gear Suddenly Engage?
1 Answers
Manual transmission reverse gear suddenly failing to engage is primarily due to: 1. The clutch pedal not being fully depressed. In this case, simply press the clutch pedal again firmly. 2. If the clutch is already fully depressed but still can't engage, it means the gear teeth are misaligned. The solution is to engage any forward gear (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) to rotate the gears slightly, then attempt reverse gear again. Additional information: 1. A synchronizer is used in transmissions during gear shifts, especially when downshifting from higher gears, to prevent gear tooth or spline tooth impacts. To avoid inter-tooth impacts, synchronizers were developed. 2. Mainly composed of a coupling sleeve and synchronizer rings, they achieve synchronization primarily through friction.
