The gears grind because there are no synch rings, and because there are no synch rings AND the gears are relatively fat, they can strike on edge if they are not moving. You won't hurt anything if you shift into LO while at a standing stop, but if the gears strike each other on edge and the lever won't physically move into position. The recovery from this is to let the clutch out partially while moving the lever at the same time, the gears will move out of each other's way, and the lever will slip into position. I have found that I need to do this while the transmission is in gear, not Neutral. If you are moving when you shift into LO, then the gears will also slip into position, but they will grind first. |
