Gearshifting manual transmission
The Porsche transmission with servo-lock syn-
chronisation permits rapid and precise shifting
of gears. When changing gears make sure that
the clutch pedal is fully depressed to the floor,
and that the gearshift lever is completely en-
gaged. The engine speeds for the individual
gears are listed on this page.
Reverse
Reverse should only be selected after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop.
The clutch pedal must be depressed several
seconds before shifting into reverse; only then
move the gearshift lever to the left, overcoming
the spring resistance, and to the front.
Both back-up lights come on when the transmis-
sion is put into reverse (with ignition on).
The gear positions are illustrated in the diagram.
If you wish to shift from 1st gear into Reverse,
the gearshift lever must first be brought into the
Neutral position and then shifted into Reverse.
This is necessary because of the reverse gear
lock-out mechanism.
For smooth shifting, observe the following shift
