| Know Your Car : Manual Transmission System |
The 5-speed manual transmission is fairly standard on cars today. It looks something like this internally :
There are three forks controlled by three rods that are engaged by the shift lever. You can see that as you move the shifter left and right you are engaging different forks (and therefore different collars). Moving the know forward and back moves the collar to engage one of the gears.
Reverse gear is handled by a small idler gear (purple). Therefore, at all times the blue reverse gear in this diagram is turning in a direction opposite to all of the other blue gears. It would be impossible to throw the transmission into reverse while the car is moving forward - the dog teeth would never engage. They will make a lot of noise, however!
