In this context, consider the missing number as part of the gear sequence in a typical manual transmission. Manual transmissions usually follow a pattern like this:
R (Reverse)
1 (First gear)
2 (Second gear)
3 (Third gear)
4 (Fourth gear)
5 (Fifth gear)
The positions match with gears where the missing number fits into this sequence. The missing gear position is often labeled as “R” for Reverse.
Therefore, in the context of the manual transmission sequence, the missing “gear” is indeed R for Reverse.
