To shift into R (Reverse):

*

[DR12501(ALL)03/91]

1.

Push the clutch pedal in all the way to the floor and hold it.
If you do not hold the clutch pedal in all the way, you may
hear a grinding noise when you shift.

*

[DR12551(ALL)03/93]

2.

Bring your vehicle to a complete stop. Failure to do so may
cause synchronizer teeth damage, reducing the useful life of
your transmission.

*

[DR12600(ALL)08/94]

3.

Put the gearshift in Neutral and wait at least 3 seconds
before shifting into R (Reverse) to prevent a grinding noise.
Do not release the clutch.

*

[DR12700(ALL)08/94]

4.

Push the gearshift all the way to the right and pull it back
into Reverse.

*

[DR12800(ALL)01/95]

With the 5-speed transmission you can engage R (Reverse) only
by moving the gearshift from the left of 3 (Third) and 4 (Fourth)
gears before you shift into R (Reverse). This is a special lockout
feature that protects you from accidentally shifting into R when
you downshift from 5 (Fifth) gear.
