I have a 5th gen that wouldn't go into reverse no matter what. I took it to a dealer and it was the fifth gear syncronizer. They fixed it under warranty, but it would've cost $850. Good luck.

if you push (gently) in to reverse then have your car roll a little does it engage?

IF you guys went/go to stoga, what years are you and what are your names? I probably see you driving around all the time. What colors are your cars and what mods do you have?

Has anyone tried to do 4th gear, then reverse? Reverse isn't syncroe'd, so sometimes its hard to get it to engage. The 4th-to-Reverse always works for me.
