2000 Camaro T56 with Core/Hurst shifter. All forward gears are smooth shifting. However, I have to struggle to get it in reverse. Is there any kind of alignment adjustment in the trans or shifter? I installed a new plastic sleeve when installing the shifter.

assuming your reverse lock out solenoid is working..the typical reason shifting into gears is hard, especially reverse, is the hydraulics need bleeding and/or have become weak and need replacing. The MC is suspect in these cases but it can also be the TO/slave itself.

you can jack up the rear of the car (put on jack stands) start motor, put in gear, hold clutch pedal down....do the rear tires move?...they should not. If they do your clutch is not full disengaging which typically means hydraulics are failing

Thanks for the info. It's a brand new Wildwood M/C so I don't think the problem is there. However, the car has never been driven yet so suspect you may be correct concerning the slave cylinder bleeding.

Thanks for the advice

OBTW, the album for my car is at https://ls1tech.com/forums/members/s...t56-31359.html

...I would try bleeding it again. Perhaps there is still air in the system from the "new" MC install.

I also have the Wilwood with my McLeod twin, nice MC. I bench bleed mine first as installed in the car it was at an angle that did not allow the air to get out. YMMV, my application is a custom pedal in a car that never came with a stick
