so the stock reverse is on the far bottom right ? is it way past 6 or kinda close... im only 16 and scared to go into 6th for fear that ill jam reverse and blow the tranny... i drive my 5spd all the time.... 6's scare me lol

 

you have to push DOWN on the shifter in Neutral, then move it all the way over and down right

 

so u dont have to worry bout busting the tranny from 5th to 6th?

 

Not to worry. The Z won't let that happen ("blow the tranny"). Getting to reverse requires a significant amount of down-pressure on the shifter. Going to reverse gear with forward momentum will result in a great deal of "grind," and the Z won't allow this.

Maybe you should have your parents trade that car for a better learning car than a Z. I started out with an auto Pontiac Sunbird and even though it sucked having such a sucky car, I learned some respect for cars.

 

he obviously doesnt have one if he didnt know you have to push down to get it into reverse.

 

What is it with all these young 16 year olds "owning" Z's

 

Well, my car insurance policy just went up $5/month yesterday

Thats with nothing changing on my end. Oh well, I should be getting a $30 drop this December (turning 25).

 

its got a lockout feature that prevents it from going into reverse by accident.

Don't stop at manual transmissions.

 

ummmmm.... please don't wreck it huh. Peep the drivers manual, watch your parents drive it a few times if you have this basic of a question.

 

Buy yourself an auto Civic, you'll live longer...

 

You are not worthy. Learn to read the manual, even the quick start guide illustrates the procedure for going in reverse. Kids these days. worried for our future I say!

 

I could just imagine the OP trying to test drive the Z and the salesman having to back it out of the lot.
