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.
