Help, Reverse wont hold! I have an Lt1 T56... I have to HOLD reverse in for it to work, sometimes I cant hold it good enough and it pops out and sounds nasty! It doesnt feel like its going all the way in...
I can push it to reverse, slow let off the clutch, and I can feel it fall farther in gear, and if I let go of it, it pops out once I start moving...
I have a Hurst Plus shifter, would that have anything to do with it?
Also, I do not have any other gear problems...

You probably started out with a clutch issue and over time have had to push harder and harder to get the unit into reverse . This wears out the plastic fork inserts on the reverse gear fork and will start to eat into the fork itself . Once this takes place , you will need a rebuild and to replace worn parts .

If its not staying in gear , chances are its damaged to the point of needing synchro & gear now as well as shift fork pads. You may also have to replace the fork itself( bent).
