Abstract
A method of operating a motorized vehicle including an engine, a transmission, and a reverse drive assembly. The method includes moving a pivot carrier of the reverse drive assembly from a disengaged position to an engaged position. A starter motor is operated to rotate a motor shaft. A reverse drive gear train is driven using the motor shaft, including driving an output gear mounted on the pivot carrier to rotate. The transmission is driven in reverse via the rotation of the output gear.
