Reverse Gear Lock-out
The five forward speeds and reverse gear are shifted in
3 planes. The 1st gear and reverse gear are.located on
the first plane.
To prevent grinding or even engaging reverse gear when
upshifting quickly from 1st to 2nd gear, a mechanical
lock, (A), is now employed.
In addition to a pawl mechanism, a positioning spring
(B) is mounted on the inner selector rod so that the
shift lever can always be moved easily into the 4th -
5th gear plane.
