Yes, quite easily. It is highly unlikely to cause any damage
Yes. Any gear may be selected at a standstill, though it is recommended that you only engage the clutch in 1st or reverse when standing still.
It matters if you have atuomatic or manual transmission. In an automatic car the gears shift on it's own. In an manual car you shift buy pushing the clutch and then shift from 1st gear to 2 gear.
This would be because first gear has no synchros on it like all the other gears do. A synchro helps match the gear speeds to each other so you dont get grinding but because people don't usually change to first while driving car companies rarely put a synchro on first gear. There is also no synchro on reverse gear. No, the R380 has syncro's on all gears. It grinds because your probably trying to get it into 1st too soon. Rev the engine a bit on a down shift. Your tranny is getting worn out. Old Series Land Rovers, pre SIII's had a non syncro 1st gear box.
yes you have to change gear in any vehical that is a stick. you can change it to 1st gear or neutral. but on the other hand with a automatic their is no need to change gear they put a auto clutch system in vehicals like that.
its because of the dramatic gear change, first a second gear have bigger differences in size compared to the rest of the gears
we should start a vehicle with neutral gear(0th gear). after starting shift to 1st gear so that to move the vehicle. when the vehicle is in 1st gear, it gets the power to start moving from the rest state. then , after attaining sufficient speed, change to 2nd, then 3rd, and so on. 1st gear gives more power, but less speed and top gears gives more speed, but lesser power. If we shift to top gears without attaining sufficient speed, engine starts knocking and the vehicle will be off within no time.
Either gear box is knackerd, or its got the wrong oil in it, if the oil i too thick, it will feel like treacle to change certain gears.
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th & Reverse gear
An automatic gear would stick in 1st if there is an obstruction. Gears can sometimes break off and cause motion to stop entirely.
The grrr noise you hear should be more like a whiring, this is because the reverse gear is a straight cut gear, while all the other gears are helical ( 1st ,2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th) when two straight cut gears meet there is more noise present due to the way the gears connect, as the reverse gear uses several small gears to change a clockwise motion into a anti-clockwise motion.
its your tranny, you probably damaged the teeth on 1st gear or your syncros went out, if all gears are not going in then its your clutch
1st gear is the gear where you can pedal with the least resistance. For a bicycle with external gears the chain should be on a big sprocket at the back and a small chainwheel at the front.
