You have a serious transmission problem. Have it checked ASAP...
I think it might have the same problem as my jeep ,,,it only go forward and when i shift the gear to reverse...it won't. Have ask around was told it have to be the transmission (Ugh! an expensive repair)
Your Transmission
Simple. Check your timing. If your timing is off, the spark plugs will fire all at the wrong time, which could cause the pistons to reverse motion. about the stoping thing, I'm not sure.
As slow as possible. You should never be on the high end of the reverse gear, and the motor should be at idle as you're backing.
Travelling to slow in a high gear, so clutch in and lower the gear.
I always thought it was to help slow down the speed of traffic, but I could be wrong.
well on my truck i have 4 gears low 123, and low gear is my granny gear because it goes very slow. in an automatic your 1 gear or your L gear is your granny gear
No. Simply changing the gear without doing anything else won't slow a bicycle down. You can coast along without peddling and that will slow you down or you can use the brakes to slow the bike. Changing gears will affect the speed only if the current speed is slower than the highest speed you can reasonably attain with the selected gear - changing to a higher gear will help you speed up.
Sounds like a internal transmission failure, look for a good mom and pop transmission shop
What mechanical emergency? Usually "low" gear (1st or low) will slow vehicle
Does a tire with a slow leak lose air when you are driving in reverse?
