if ur having trouble with all the gears ur clutch may not be fully dissengaging, u could probably fix that with an adjustable master. if its just reverse it could be that synchro or maybe the shift fork too

i think my friend just had his tranny rebuilt and is still having the same problem, so im confused

rebuilding atranny will not help a poorly releasing clutch. When the box was put back in was the wiring connected properly? It is easy to mis-connect the solenoid leads.

it goes in reverse after a little bit of work. he is h aving those troubles and the clutch was ruled out of it

What about the solenoids/ connection? It is hard to miss damaged synchronizer teeth on a rebuild- do you trust the job?

Why not start with the small things. First bleed the system, and make sure all the connections are good. If the problem is still there, then move onto something bigger. Are you on the stock clutch/hydraulics?

clutch is new since may, hydros are too, its all bled right, was fine after i did the clutch and just started to act up in the past maybe month or less

i have the same problem getting into reverse, but only occassionally, it seems that its worst when the car is cold.

mine is better now, try to get the car in 3rd before u put it in reverse and it should slide right in there

mine goes in reverse, but it grinds some of the time, sometimes i have to put it in gear 4 or 5 times before it finally works, and it only does this when its cold...any answers?

i HATE this about my car, i've resorted to opening my door and pushing my car back. so embarassing!
