Reverse Gear on Manual Transmission
#1
![Question](https://www.myg37.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hey,
I just bought a G37S, and this question is absolutely retarded, but how to you get into reverse on the manual transmission? Do you just force it over real hard to the right? I was pushing pretty hard but I don't want to force it *too* hard and find out that you need to push some hidden button to get it into reverse.
P.S. I asked the same question for my BMW 328is and it turns out it just had a *REALLY* strong spring for reverse. I'm sure it will be the same case here but I want to be sure before damaging anything.
Can't wait to drive this thing! Just waiting on getting it registered tomorrow morning, and knowing how to get into reverse, heh.

I felt the same way when I first left the dealership. I tried to play it off. I was acting like I was trying to find something, but I really didn't know how to put it in reverse. Lmao!

I was so used to my 280ZX with gears going right in.
Later that day I found out how to go in reverse

Valid question if you're not familiar with it.
In my old camaro, reverse was to the right of 5th, but you have to push pretty hard to get it there. The G is much easier, while in neutral, push down, then to the far right and back. You'll know you're in reverse because the display will show the backup camera instead of whatever mode you currently have selected.

Lets all be happy nissan didn't implement the nonsense GM does/did in their 6mt's. The requirement to go from 1st to 4th gear under NORMAL driving conditions. Only when you're really hammering on it does it let you shift the way you want to (1-anygear). On my old camaro this was easily defeatable, but still, i bought a mt because *I* want to choose which gear to shift into. The documentation says it's for fuel economy reasons!@#
