Message from The Turtle Subject: Re: 5th gear C 900 ================= Classic earlier-900 problem. There's a thrust bearing in the gearbox that fails (often for apparently no reason -- I had one break when the car was PARKED) and some stuff in there skews just enough to prevent access to 5th. In some cases, reverse also disappears. Not much to do except rebuild the gearbox... the later design thrust bearing is much more durable. I had a 1982 900T fail like this, and a 1987 900T later on, but on that car I didn't lose reverse.
