Manual Transmission - Honda legend Owner's Manual

The manual transmission is
synchronized in all forward gears for
smooth operation. It has a lockout so
you cannot accidentally shift from
any forward gear to reverse while
the vehicle is moving at a certain
speed (see page 399 ).
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 excessive clutch wear.

Manual Transmission

Come to a full stop before you shift
into reverse. You can damage the
transmission by trying to shift into
reverse with the vehicle moving.
Push down the clutch pedal, and
pause for a few seconds before
shifting into reverse, or shift into one
of the forward gears for a moment.
This stops the gears so they won't
''grind.''
