so ive had my v1 for about a year now and its always had a problem with reverse but i seldom drive it, about 3k miles in the past year, and i had some other stuff i wanted to adress first, so i did, but today was time to get rid of the grinding and pop outs ive been dealing with.

starting off pull the shift ****/bezel/ boot assembly off that everybody complains about. i found that for some reason it helps to roll the boot upward as far as possible. i guess it lets me get a better grip for leverage to pull on that sucker

now with the boot and the foam insulator out of the way take the two 10mm bolts in front of the shifter out. the shifter assembly will drop some.

now i dont know what kind of exhaust everybody else has but i have longtubes with stainless hardware and a stainless corsa beyond that so all of mine came apart pretty easily. regurdless of what u have i recommend droppin it all as close to the engine as possible to eliminate it being in your way

now with all the exhaust out of the way drop the driveshaft. carrier bearing is 10mms on the heatshield/15mms on the actual bearing. rear bolts are 8mm allen, front bolts are 18mm hex nuts/bolts

My reverse was awful too. Its probably time for you to get a trans insert. Revshift took care of my reverse issue. While your under there might as well change trans fluid...redline ftw

the rubber coupler has these dowels in it so youll probably have to smack it with a hammer to get it to pop off

theres the insert lol. now remove the crossmember. its 15mm bolts/nuts and t47 or t50 torx. i cant remember.

bigassogre

iTrader: (1)

before anybody says anything i stripped the crossmember and repainted it. i couldnt stand the rust. but now that its out of the way unplug the 3 electrical connectors and unbolt the bottom of the shifter. the flange nut is 1 3/16". i recommend marking it on the shaft and flange before removal so u can put it back just as it was removed. remover the mount. its got 2 15mm bolts

bigassogre

iTrader: (1)

no flange or mount or sensors. temp is 7/8. reverse lockout is 13mm. vss is 10mm

bigassogre

these nifty little self retaining pins are pretty cool. flip em up and pull em out and bam! shifter assembly comes the rest of the way off

bigassogre

ok. now remove all of the 15mm tailshaft housing bolts. it has two dowels in it to knock it a few times with a hammer and off comes the housing

bigassogre

iTrader: (1)

this is what all's gonna come off. all retained by snap rings

bigassogre

bearing, gear and synchro off. to get the gear off while in the car, make sure its in neutralstart slidin off the gear and its gonna hit that shaft above it. twist the shaft counter clockwise and push up with a little force. use only ur hands. if u use a tool youll probably bend it. it seat in the tailshaft housing so aslong as u use only your herculean strength you should be fine
