The shifter. D is for drive which is forward and R is for reverse. N is for neutral. You have to have the breaks pressed down all the way in order to move out of park and into D or R.
Reverse and forward gears
Forward and reverse. It's an automatic
3 forward, 1 reverse
A Super Beetle with a manual transmission has four forward gears and one reverse. A Super Beetle with an Autostick transmission has three forward and one reverse.
It has 16 forward and 8 reverse.
YOU BETTER FIND IT!
6 or usually 7 forward gears and 1 reverse, though this is rarely used.
If this is an automatic transmission, more than likely the transmission is on it's way to the junkyard. Usually failing transmissions lose reverse first, then the higher forward gears - last will be the lowest forward gears.
do you have all forward gears? if yes, you have broken reverse gear (one turning the spin into reverse) in the transmission, if you miss also some forward gears it shifts rough, tranny is to be rebuilt... either way it's expensive fix
Four forward, one reverse.
yes it has reverse and both high and low range gears . i can get it to run in both forward and reverse but only in low range . when i shift IT into high range it is still running in low range .
The forward pump is shot or the throttle has a blown gasket
