So here is my issue... I have no grinds in my transmission (b series cable)... No low or high rpm grinds 1st-5th. HOWEVER, I do have a grind in reverse. Now it will only grind when at a stop, clutch depressed, and going straight to reverse. But if I shift to another gear first, THEN to reverse, it will not happen. What is the cause of this? It used to do it very subtle, but has become a full on grind as if I am trying to shift without having the clutch down.

Thanks for the help!

 

Teeth on reverse idler gear and/or teeth on 1-2 synchro sleeve for reverse are rounded too much for decent use. Keep shifting into a forward gear like you've been doing to help it.

 

roger that, so to fix the problem, what all should I replace?

 

Pretty much every standard is like that. If you read the owners manual it will even tell you to either shift to a forward gear first or wait for a moment after depressing the clutch to shift into reverse to allow time for the gears to stop moving. Just leave it as it is.

 

Exactly what I said could be rounded. Reverse idler and/or 1-2 synchro sleeve. Synchro sleeve and hub SHOULD be replaced together though. So it's not really worth it to do unless you really, really hate putting it into a forward gear first before trying to select reverse. lol I'd personally let it be unless it's grinds no matter what or just doesn't go into reverse.
