Speed Manual Transmission - Honda 1994 Accord Wagon Reference Owner's Manual

The manual transmission is
synchronized in all forward gears
for smooth operation. It has a
lockout so you cannot shift
directly from Fifth to Reverse.
When shifting up or down, make
sure you push the clutch pedal
down all the way, shift to the next
gear, and let the pedal up
gradually. When you are not
shifting, do not rest your foot on
the clutch pedal. This can cause
your clutch to wear out faster.
Come to a full stop before you
shift into reverse. You can
damage the transmission by
trying to shift into reverse with
the car moving. Depress the
clutch pedal and pause for a few
seconds before putting it in
reverse, or shift into one of the
forward gears for a moment. This
stops the gears so they won't
"grind."
You can get extra braking from
the engine when slowing down by
shifting to a lower gear. This extra
braking can help you maintain a
safe speed and prevent your
brakes from overheating while
going down a steep hill. Before
downshifting, make sure engine
speed will not go into the red
zone in the lower gear. Refer to
the Maximum Speeds chart.
