Nug878 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I learned to drive in a Mk.6 Fiesta like yours and I remember having to lift off the clutch and depress it again to get it in reverse. Was told it was normal. It's most probably a safety feature. Don't have to do that on my Focus, mind you I have a "Lift up" reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Common issue as there is no sychro on reverse gear. I find slotting first before reverse helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichellefromEssex Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 3 second rule lol - mine scrunches and crunches and jumps out of gear regular - unless I sit and do the rule which apparently is in the handbook!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
