If you drive a stick-shift car, then you may have several questions floating in your head:
- How does the funny "H" pattern that I am moving this shift knob through have any relation to the gears inside the transmission? What is moving inside the transmission when I move the shifter?
- When I mess up and hear that horrible grinding sound, what is actually grinding?
- What would happen if I were to accidentally shift into reverse while I am speeding down the freeway? Would the entire transmission explode?
In this article, we'll answer all of these questions and more as we explore the interior of a manual transmission.
