M6 reverse issues.
M6 reverse issues. Did a search and couldn't find anything real definitive. T56 in an 05 GTO. All other gears work. Reverse will not go in unless you're rolling backwards. If you're rolling back, it goes in like butter (if you shift to another gear first). Looking at the service manual posted on the T56 sticky, it seems they suggest looking at the reverse switch. I'm assuming this is the reverse light switch? When trying to get in reverse, I can see the reverse lights come on even if it won't go all the way into the reverse gate. Can I assume that that is not the issue?
It's not the lockout solenoid ... it will move over, just not up into the gear.
Synchro? As long as it rolls backwards, it's fine.

If you're referring to the fuse tied to the lockout solenoid, that's not it. Already checked. Also, if that fuse went out, it would block you from moving over past the lockout mechanism (tho, you can still do it with some force).
I would like to see some more ideas on this issue here. I periodically have a similar issue, although i've noticed that i can also fully engage reverse if i let out the clutch a hair.
I've eliminated the reverse light switch as a culprit. Doubtful it's the lockout solenoid and fuses are all good. Gear doesn't grind when it does go in ... as long as it's rolling back, shift to another gear and into reverse and she goes right in.

Verdad Gallardo Anyone have a good write-up (preferably with pics) on how to swap the reverse synchro? Never torn into a tranny and don't exactly want to fugg it up. The 'T56 Rebuild' sticky doesn't really do a good job of pointing out the reverse synchro.
