Reverse Drive Gear for Manual Gearbox βοΈ
This transmission gear is required to engage reverse motion in a manual gearbox. It works with the main shaft set, allowing the reverse idler path to change rotation direction so the vehicle can back up smoothly. When tolerances are correct, reverse selection feels clean, gear noise stays low, and the drivetrain remains protected under load.
How It Works ?οΈ
As you select reverse, the gear train meshes through the reverse arrangement to flip shaft rotation. The tooth profile and hardening are designed to handle sudden torque at low speed, especially during parking maneuvers and hill starts.
Why Replacement Matters β
A worn or damaged reverse gear can cause grinding, popping out of reverse, or delayed engagement. Continued driving may spread metal debris through the gearbox, accelerating wear on bearings and synchro components, and can eventually leave you without reverse at all.
Common Signs of Failure ?
- Grinding or clunking when selecting reverse
- Reverse jumps out under light throttle
- Whining noise that worsens with load
- Metal flakes found during oil change
Compatibility ?
- L300
