It's not recommend to use it. Just do like they are in real life- wherever 1st is would be reverse. Use a YouTube video on how to shift a xx-speed (xx is what gearbox you planning on using ex. 10,13,18) leave the reverse on shifter alone.

Yes it works, but the default gearset configuration imitates a 'generalised' shift pattern for the available gearbox types (except for the Allison 6 speed which is an automatic).

The shift pattern in these boxes generally has reverse in the shifter slot #1 position (upper-left) and the reverse slot (push-down-lower-right) doesn't exist.

You could still set up your shifter however you want in the options menu, however. You'll just have to re-order the way you bind the shifter slots to suit (just remember the first slot in the menu list is the reverse shifter position).

[edit]
To clarify, in the options-->controls menu: 'Shifter position 1' in the menu is the reverse gear in-game so you would bind this to the hardware shifter reverse slot.

I meesed with all the spilters and through all the ranges, and its not working. i can do like a custom set one and when i try to change the reverse gear slot 1 ill press down on the shifter but the game isnt recognizing that i pushed down on the shifter

The push down reverse is most likely not used by ATS or ETS2 as no trucks have such a reverse position afaik.

Simply use H-shifter option and select the appropriate transmission.

Odd, the reverse position works on the G27, I don't see why it wouldn't on the G29. I use the reverse position to couple/uncouple the trailer.

You can program reverse to any input. Leave the stick in neutral when you set it up to see the input. Then put it in reverse. Just pushing down on the stick is not an input, it just allows you to move it into the reverse position.
If this doesn't work, try programing anything to this to make sure your shifter is working properly.

You don't need it. ATS is amazing since it already has realistic patterns. EF transmissions have Reverse set to where 1st is. 2nd is your rarely used ultra low gears, or crawlers (1st in the EF 10-speed). The other four remaning slots (3rd. 4th, 5th and 6th on your shifter) are from 1st Low all the way to 8th High in the EF 13 and 18 transmissions.

If you're having problems, just reset the settings and select the default 10, 13 or 18 EF depending on the transmission that your truck has, for added realism. YOu would be surprised how easy it is to get used to shift up to 18 gears.
