From what I have read this is pretty much normal, reverse is not a synchroed gear, so you have to place the car in a synchroed gear (I use 4th), then put it into reverse. Some people say they just touch the gear, I usually put it in and let it stay for a second, don't know if I need to but it can't hurt. If you are doing this always and still getting griding then I don't know what's wrong, maybe as you said the synchros are getting old. -Jeff On Fri, 04 Aug 2000 13:52:03 +0200, Goran Begicevic <goran.begicevicnopsamector.se> wrotf: >Hi! > >Car: 85' 9000 T16, 240000 miles , manual tranny. >Sometimes i get grinding noise when engaging reverse, especially when >transmission is warmed up.
