i recently dismantled a 3 speed (tuk tuk) gearbox.But unlike usual 4 wheelers,i found the
idler in the differential case.usually for reverse ,idler is also present in the gearbox .
When i asked i was told that in 3 wheelers when the reverse gear is applied,the differential as a whole rotates in the opposite direction ,so reverse can be applied in any gear(1or 2 or 3).
But i have always read that reverse gear is a single gear having its own gear ratio.
