SVM= Special Value Model

I think these were/are very basic models that are outfitted for the very lowest price possible.

To lilstac--

If you are still having trouble getting into reverse, sometimes you need to double clutch it--- with the stick in neutral, let out the clutch and then depress it again and try again to shift into reverse. Sometimes the gears aren't quite lined up right and double clutching re-positions them.
