In order to select reverse gear, the gearshift lever must be moved to the right over and past the reverse gear inhibit device. As this occurs the axial movement of the selector cable is transferred to the selector shaft which can turn in its bearing.
When shifting into reverse gear, the gearshift lever is moved backwards. The selector boss engages in the 5th gear/reverse gear shift rod, which in turn engages through a pin in the reverse gear selector shaft.
During the select and shift process the selector shaft is guided through the selector gate by a pin.
The reverse gear idler is slid by the reverse gear selector shaft and reverse gear is engaged.
At the same time the shift locking bush prevents access to other gear combinations.
