Hi Jason, no offence but you *are* an idiot. When you are driving in reverse
(or
first) think how many times the engine revolves for a given distance covered
compared to 3rd. Now imagine pushing the car the same distance in each gear.
You
have to rotate the engine many more times in reverse than in third, therefore
reverse must be harder.
Cheers,
