Chevrolet 1998 Tracker Owner's Manual page 75

You can
shift into FIRST (1) when you're going less
than 20 mph (32 km/h). If you've come to a complete
stop and
it's hard
to shift into FIRST (l), put the shift
lever in NEUTRAL (N) and let up on the clutch. Press
the clutch pedal back down. Then shift into
FIRST
(1).
SECOND (2): Press the clutch pedal
as
you let up on
the accelerator pedal and shift into SECOND (2).
Then,
slowly let up on
the clutch pedal as you press the
accelerator pedal.
THIRD (3), FOURTH (4), FIFTH
(5): Shift into
THIRD (3), FOURTH (4) and FIFTH ( 5 ) the same
way you do for
SECOND (2). Slowly let up on the
clutch pedal as you press the accelerator pedal.
To stop, let up on the accelerator pedal and press the
brake pedal. Just before the vehicle stops, press the
clutch pedal and the brake pedal, and shift to
NEUTRAL (N).
NEUTRAL (N):
Use this position when you start or
idle your engine.
REVERSE
(R):
To back
up, press down the clutch
pedal and shift into REVERSE (R). Let up on the clutch
pedal slowly while pressing
the
accelerator pedal.
You cannot go from FIFTH (5) into REVERSE
(R).
If you try, you will be locked out. You must first shift
into NEUTRAL (N), move the lever to the left, back to
the right, and then shift into REVERSE (R). This is a
safety feature.
NOTICE:
Shift to REVERSE (R) only after your vehicle
is stopped. Shifting to REVERSE (R) while
your vehicle is moving could damage your
transmission.
Also, use REVERSE (R) along with the parking brake
for parking your vehicle.
