Fifth Gear (See Fifth Gear Figure)

To go from fourth to fifth gear, the shift lover is returned to neutral to disengage the third/fourth sleeve from the input shaft. It is then moved to fifth position. The fifth/reverse position sleeve engages the fifth gear.

Reverse Gear (See Reverse Gear Figure)

Reverse gear is a nonsynchro spur gear. As a result, the vehicle must be stopped before reverse can be engaged. Otherwise, damage may result. To engage reverse, the shift lever is first moved to the neutral position. The shift lever must then be pushed down and back to clear the reverse lockout screw. This lockout screw prevents accidental engagement of reverse gear when the car is moving.

The fifth/reverse sleeve now moves the reverse sliding gear forward to engage the reverse gear on the countershaft and the reverse gear on the main shaft. With this third gear introduced into the system, output direction is reversed.
