Reverse is gone!!
Alright my tranny will not go into reverse! Took my car on a few hard runs through the twisties last night. After the end of my last run I tried to put the car in first and my tranny seemed to be locked. was having trouble getting it to any gear then after some struggling I finally got it into 2nd and after i got the car moving all gears seemed to shift fine. My tranny has always been a little notchy shifting through gears but after this I havnt been able to get the car in reverse. I changed my tranny fluid out for some penzoil syncromesh hoping this would solve the problem but still nothing.Was able to get it into reverse a couple times and once it even popped right out of reverse. Now I havnt been able to get it in reverse period. You guys think I bent my shift fork? I hope i dont need a new tranny!! any ideas?

i dont think its my clutch. I can't physically shift into reverse at all. It's not like i can shift into reverse but cant get it to engage. All other gears shift and engage fine.

Re: (Gmoney16)
Well thats weird cause 5th and reverse are together. Like for example when my 5th gear syncros went out i couldnt get to reverse. So its probably something else happening. What trans is it? If its a D series PM Bense, he knows those like it grew on him.

Re: (Luserkid)
moral of the story = you're not going to know unless you take it off, and take it apart to take a look at it.
Think of it as trying to diagnose a car and fix it without popping the hood.
3 options
####################
1. repair your transmission (it will cost more than a used one)
2. replace your transmission (it will cost a lot)
3. get a helms manual and learn to do it yourself. It's easy.

it's not the linkage
