How to Avoid the Reversing Gear Collision?

The damage of gear impact

The metal gear impact apparently can cause the teeth wear and tear much faster, after times, the original right angle of teeth will be ground to round corner, which will make teeth not fully bite, even the slight vibration can cause a skip-shift failure, finally resulting in the repair or replace of shift system parts like the aluminum shift blocks or automotive shift forks.

The cause of gear impact

Manual gearbox has a synchronizer inside the structure, when the gear shifting occurs, the role of the synchronizer is to soon rise the in-put gear speed and keep in a synchronous state with the output gear speed, so to avoid the gear impact in gear shifting.

How to avoid the reversing gear collision

One of the best methods to prevent the gear collision is shifting the reverse gear after the complete stop, at the same time, you have to fully step on the clutch, if not, it will cause severe reverse gear collision. Don’t too much trust the synchronizer, if you don't push hard on the clutch pedal, no matter how powerful the synchronizer is, it cannot withstand the great rotational speed difference, the worse is to speed the wear of this part as the geometric growth.
