No Reverse
« on: September 15, 2009 - 10:14:30 PM »
It's always been hard to put into reverse, you had to be very deliberate with the shifter. Today after driving around for about 20mins I went to back into a parking spot and it would grind while letting out the clutch. Pushed the shifter alittle hard forward and got it into reverse but it kept popping out once the clutch was completely out. Then when I got it home I had no reverse at all, just a slight grinding with the clutch completely out. So came into the house and brooded for awhile then went back out and put it into reverse before starting the engine and was able to back up a few feet to the garage door. It was getting late so I just went and shut it off for the night.
Does this sound like a linkage adjustment issue (I hope) or something internal?

Sounds like linkage adjustment to me. I had a similar situation when I didn't adjust the linkage properly. Worn linkage bushing could be part of the problem.
