Has anyone else noticed that the reverse gear in the Evo seems to be a slightly taller gear. I notice dthat when backing up, especially if you're doing a tight maneuver or backing uphill it takes more RPM's to keep the car from stalling. I'm not sure if it's the gear or the power steering sapping power but if I don't keep the RPM's up it stalls easily in reverse.

yeah, I have some slight issues backing up and out of my driveway occasionally. Maybe it's just a characteristic of stick cars? I dunno, this is my first manual

I've had quite a few 5 and 6-speed cars and none has ever had this issue. Usually reverse is geared very low. Maybe it's just the black ones. =)

its gotta be geared high so when you flip a 180 while doin 55 on teh high way you can hit reverse and keep driving while flipping people off


sheesh, didnt you see 2f2f??!

Maybe it's the 2F2F reverse gear in mine....for high speed reverse roll-outs under the trailer of a semi.
