I know. Just saying thats what alot of people do, shift into 1st while still moving in reverse. Thats why its made that way. Shouldnt be able to shift into any gear while its moving in reverse. Guy that told me this could be full of poo though.

brachilius: I did not know that. I have owned 4 other cars that were stick, and they never did that. '89 Suzuki Swift GTi, 89 Sentra, 95 Camaro RS and Scion xB. I could do it in all of those. Now I know it's not "normal" so I guess I just had the odd-ball cars.

Thanks dude. I appreciate it. There aren't many manual tranny's out there. I think there is one other person on here then myself that has one.

If you have ever driven an old granny low 4spd tranny you would see that it grinds going into 1st gear if the vehicle is slightly moving. These old 4 spds had straight cut 1st gears. It is the same in reverse. I had a 91 wrangler with a 5 spd. and it always would grind shifting into reverse. I then swapped in a 4spd and it would grind shifting into 1st and reverse. That is why there is gear "whine" when driving in reverse. A manual transmission sounds totally different when in reverse as opposed to 1st.

Almost all newer models created used Automatic Transmissions. What I've known with transmissions issues is that Mercedes transmission mounts must be replaced when vibrations from the driveline is transmitted to the vehicle’s interior and causing disruptions to the driver and passengers. Also when the universal joint yokes and cross pieces begins to suffer from accelerated wear.
