I have a built MN6 in my z06, and am having problems with reverse...

Its not the lockout solenoid, as i can move 'over' just fine.

Its the 'up' part that doesnt work to save my life. It takes 100lbs of force to get it into gear with the motor running, or about 5lbs with the motor off.

Never kicks out, never grinds, its just engaging reverse that is the problem...

The clutch is slipping badly, so its coming out this weekend for a rebuild, as well as a new slave.

Im guessing/hoping its the clutch dragging causing the problem... Thoughts?

Well, from what I've heard from techs at the dealership, the problem with those is often that people don't make a complete stop when changing directions. In doing so, they end up f-ing up the teeth on the gears. Hopefully, it's just the slipping giving you the headache.
