I think i already asked this question once but i dont recall getting an answer...so i sall ask again....my reverse gear has the tendency to act like 1st gear sometimes....HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE....i swith to reverse and instead of going back i go forward....i haven't exactly followed the revs so i cant say for sure that it acts exactly like 1st but at least it goes forward and it accelarates forward which is very very strange...so PLZ i need HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPpp

That is not possible.

You have not pushed the gear lever enough to the right before pulling it backwards, and then you end up in 4th gear instead of reverse.

When trying to release the clutch you feel that the vehicle will try to move forward (it is possible to start in 4th gear).

possible to start off in 4th gear and accelarate perfectly with it?????i really doubt it....it works EXACTLY like 1st gear...it accelarates perfectly....i can't even start on 4th...let alone accelarate....but when the reverse gets screwed i can....it cant be the slip into 4th...also i went up hill with it the other day...how can u picture going up hill on 4th??
