Hi just general Q about the reverse gear for the MCS - whats the trick in getting into that gear? i find it abit of a struggle everytime and half feel like im breaking it?

i tried pushing down ont he gear stick (like the s2000 ) but doesnt seem to work.

Thanks for the help.

It feels weird at first but thats how it is. You should feel that resistance. Its there so you dont accidentaly go into reverse when you dont want to.

The way i switch into it is to do it in a quick motion, that way you barely feel the resistance. And pushing down on the stick doesnt do anything.
