that's srange...i keep thinking when you're in REVERSE....you should pull the handbrake (not step the foot pedal ) to get the car rotating back to foward direction....if you can imagine...pulling the handbrake whie going reverse and flicking the wheel is like a Pendulum effect. All the weight goes to the front, and the wheels help rotate it around. I guess you're suppose to lock the rear wheels either way...depending on your car direction...

Depends on the gearbox. Might not be possible at all without double clutching. Some gearboxes might want you to do the stick in the middle position before you go to reverse (which you usually pass anyway).But anyway, you can try it when not moving with the car. And it makes a difference if the car is already moving backward (due to the spin), then it might be easier to put in reverse (depending on the mechanical block which doesn't allow you to put the gearbox in reverse when on the highway)

Well said Tom. You just joined PumaPeople didn't you?

The most agile car you can get for £1,000 to £2,000. Tiff is a great driver and can make any car look good but Pumas are sporty little machines. Certainly no 'hairdresser's car' like all the men that have never even been in one say.

Sorry, but I'm sort of new to this and am still learning myself.My guess would be to shift into neutral when entering the turn and shift into reverse only after the car has turned around.

voicesinurhead01 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

No.I'm talking about whenever your car's in first and as you shift into reverse as you pull a 180 on the handbrake. Is it possible to do this without grinding the gears?And if I sound ignorant, then educate me.

Your not trying to do this with an automatic transmission are you?
