yes it went into reverse fine before, I may just replace the clutch ne ways b/c i hate how much chatter the spec has in the first place, Im thinkin a textralia is the way to go as the car isnt my dd anyways. I really hope its just a clutch issume i wont be to happy if its the trans just after a $1300 rebuild . Amber is in the midst of having a baby right now too and I do not want to bother them right now.
