Re: Can't shift into gear, the dreaded reverse grinds Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Can't shift into gear, the dreaded reverse grinds, Joe Mitrani, Mon, 29 Oct 2007 09:06:32 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It's difficult to advice without looking at the car because it could as simple as if I sat down and pushed the clutch pedal, I would instantly feel that the clutch cable is not adjusted as it should be and that's where the problem would be found.
It could also be that I instantly would feel that the gear shifter is not aligned properly after the transmission was down so that the fix would be to align the shifter linkage.
It could also be that I would feel that all the forward gears goes in just as they should but the problem is the reverse gear and its shifter fork.
You should be very careful not to force the reverse gear since the shifter fork inside transmission is fairly weak. If you bend that one, it will never work again.
My gut feeling though goes toward that the clutch cable has decided to loose its adjustment or that it is not installed properly.
