First check the linkage for the 2000 Dodge Neon transmission to make sure that it is fully going into reverse. If it is, then the transmission needs to be taken out and pulled apart to see what internal parts have failed, and how to fix it.
Yes. They have a manual 5 speed transmission with reverse.
A Super Beetle with a manual transmission has four forward gears and one reverse. A Super Beetle with an Autostick transmission has three forward and one reverse.
It can cause it to only have second and reverse gears.
A reverse idler gear in a manual transmission. It converts the reverse gears turning direction into the outputshaft to reverse its direction. The transmission can not spin clockwise when the reverse idler is engaged thus it only spins backwards not forward.
it could be the shift linkage being that both gears over there wont work
Manual transmission is when you use the shift stick to shift to different gears in a car instead of driving without shifting gears,which is auto transmission.
Dragging clutch, clutch is oil soaked, hydraulic release system is faulty.
Physically, Manual Transmission has at least 5 gears including a reverse gear which is 'manually' changed by the driver during the course of the drive. Automatic Transmission however has a Park, neutral, drive 1 and 2, reverse. This is much easier to drive. They can be distinguished by the sound they make. A manual transmission hardly makes noise when gears are being changed. An automatic on the other hand, will make short bust of noises when gears are being changed. This is only valid for high powered cars. Also, if a manual car breaks down, it can be moved. automatic however, cannot be moved if it breaks down which is a big disadvantage.
There are 3 foreward gears and 1 reverse gear.
If you are asking about how many gear ranges the transmission has, the auto has 3 and the manual has 5. If you are asking about how may total gears the truck has, when you add up the rear axle, transmission, distributor, steering, etc, there are dozens.
If you mean automatic transmission there are several different types with complex nature. But for a manual transmission the main components are: 1-Shafts 2-Clutch 3-Synchromesh 4-Gears (1,2,3,4,5,...,Reverse)
if you are missing any gears in your manual transmission it is shot. You might as well replace the clutch while you have the tranny pulled so you dont have to do it later.
