Default Florida Noob

Hello to the LS1 world! After driving a 3.4 L Teal Firebird for 2 years I have upgraded to a 98 Formula M6 with 46,500 miles. I am a registered member on Firebirdv6.com and fullthrottlev6.com. I still havnt figured out how to get into reverse easily, do any of you have any tricks?

I will come time. Welcome to the board. Are there any mods on your Formula yet? Where in Florida are you from? Lakeland here.

No major mods yet, the car feels and drives brand new. I got to start my new cardomain for the Formy! I love it, so much power what a difference from a 3.4, lol.

Are you saying that it is difficult to put the shifter into reverse? If that is the case, before you put it in reverse try putting it into another gear first like 2nd. Mine doesn't want to go into reverse sometimes and if i throw it into 2nd first it seems to help.

And welcome to the club
