Re: Shifting gears......synchronized reverse
Hi!
If you try to go into first while in motion try double clutching.
If you are stopped and want to shift either to first and reverse try
going to them via second. I.e. go into second before shifting into
first or reverse. Shifting into second or for that matter into any
higher geer will slow down the imput shaft which is beeing dragged by
the clutch while the engine is idling. If you have a high idle like
when worming the engine up it will help even more that when the
engine is worm and idling slow. This helps no matter if the geer is
synchro or not.
Hpe this helps.
