To engage and shift gears, press the clutch pedal all the way to the floor. All gears except reverse gear are synchronized for quiet and easy shifting.
Recommendation. Always fully depress the clutch pedal before changing gear. Do not keep your foot on the clutch pedal while driving, as this will cause premature wear of the clutch parts and failure.
A safety device prevents erroneous engagement of reverse gear when disengaged from 5th gear.
If it is difficult to engage reverse gear, move the lever to neutral, fully release the clutch pedal and press it again until it hits the floor. Then try again to engage reverse gear.
Warning! Reverse gear can only be engaged after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
