Reverse Shifting

To shift into REVERSE, bring the vehicle to a complete
stop. Depress the clutch and pause briefly to allow the
gear train to stop rotating. Beginning from the NEUTRAL
position, move the shift lever in one quick smooth
motion straight across and into the REVERSE area (the
driver will feel a firm "click" as the shifter passes the
"knock-over"). Complete the shift by pulling the shift
lever into REVERSE.
The "knock-over" prevents the driver from accidentally
entering the REVERSE shift area and warns the driver
that they are about to shift the transmission into RE-
2 to 1
VERSE. Due to this feature, a slow shift to REVERSE can
be perceived as a high shift effort.
