Howstuffworks "How Manual Transmissions Work"

Howstuffworks "How Manual Transmissions Work":
If you drive a stick-shift car, then you may have several questions floating in your head:

* How does the funny 'H' pattern that I am moving this shift knob through have any relation to the gears inside the transmission? What is moving inside the transmission when I move the shifter?
* When I mess up and hear that horrible grinding sound, what is actually grinding?
* What would happen if I were to accidentally shift into reverse while I am speeding down the freeway? Would the entire transmission explode?

In this article, we'll answer all of these questions and more as we explore the interior of a manual transmission
