ok, i was tryin to back out of a parking space today and i noticed i couldnt go into reverse...i was ok..i'll look at it when i got home(all other gears work) anyway i thought i might just have to change the tranny fluid and i'd be set but NO. i jack up the car and i see the boot at the end of the axel is torn. so that means broken axel right? do i have to replace the whole axel and will that fix my tranny...or is it possible that i broke a shift fork???!? HELP

 

Will the shifter physically not go into reverse? Or is it that your car will not actually back up while in reverse? If you just tore the boot, then you can either get a new axle or just a boot and repack the grease. But an axle will not cause your shifter not to go into reverse. Could be that your reverse gear is tore up, the fork/assembly is a little fubar'd etc.

 

im changin the tranny fluid right now...it didnt look like there was very much in there...how much goes into a gsr transmission

On a level surface you fill it until it starts coming out of the hole

 

About 2.6 qts I believe.

 

ok, and which hole do i fill it through..i dont want to fill it through the VSS because there is a lot of wiring **** and my intake is in the way.

 

There was a post just today about it. Unbolt the fill hole (upper rear of tranny) and then get a 3 foot hose and funnel. Put the hose on the end of the funnel, then pour in the fluid until it spills out. Make sure your on a level surface too.

 

ok, i changed the tranny fluid and now it will semi go into reverse...i kinda have to force it in and then the big problem is i have to push pretty hard for it to pop out of gear. anyone know what this could be. oh and now im WTB passenger side GSR axle

edit: are all b series axles the same??

if you have an EG you need an axle from a 94-01 teg. and yes GSR or LS should be the same. sounds like you reverse is just goin bad... ive gotta GSR tranny for sale. if you need one. PM me or hit me up on AIM

 

i just called up a local tranny guy and he told me to put some Power Punch in my tranny and the shold loosen it up. he also said it sounds like my linkage is all fuckered up. so tomorrow i will try and find an axle and i'll replace that. and while im under there i'll take a look at my linkage and make sure everything is tight. does that sound alright to do?

 

You didn't happen to look at the fluid you drained out? It can tell you a lot. No metal, great Very fine metal, ok Metal pieces, bad Metal chunks, SOL.

 

good call^ if it looks like glitter, its not that bad. thats what i usually go by

 

when i looked at the fluid it was almost solid black...but no metal shaving etc...reverse is starting to work fine right now i think it just needed to get lubricated
