I tried and tried, I put it into other gears, checked the gear oil, and i cant figure it out. It wont go into reverse. Anyone have this problem. It was fine when I took it out of my old car.

 

Are you having any trouble with 4th gear at all?

 

Do you have a new clutch installed? If you do, I think I know what's going on.

 

Try putting the driveline in ... is it grinding at all? whats it doing... you try dbl clutching to get it into gear???

 

What do u think it is?

 

Will the car go into any gear?

 

When I put my new clutch kit in, I put the car in gear and jacked the rear end up in the air. Then I started the car, in 1st gear, and let it run for a bit and then hit the brakes. If you push the clutch in, you should be able to shift into any gear. Try it out in reverse.

 

ill give it a shot. thanks, hope it works

 

I'm confused, your saying that pushing in the clutch will enable you to shift into any gear, umm... thats what normally happens. Why would the rear have to be jacked up for any of this? I must be missing something.

 

You might have to adjust the clutch pedal if you just put a new one in.

 

hmmm i had the same problem, sometimes it wont go into any gear, any help, someone told meeh it could be the gear oil, does any one where it is located and hwo i can change it thanks

 

allways park on a hill

 

I had this problem once, ended up being a penny stuck under the shift boot causing it to not go in reverse. Found out at the most inopertune time too, I was out fooling around with some friends drag racing out in the country and lo and behold, here comes the sheriff out of know were!!!. Me and this guy were already going at it when he turns his lights on, and I was like ****!! slammed on the brakes, went to turn around, ****!!! NO REVERSE!! I got real lucky on that one, he let us off with a warning because he says technically i'm not in my jurisdiction. He said he had been watching us there for a few weekends now just sitting near a electrical substation with night vision goggles. That was the last time I ever street raced again. this was 3-4 yrs ago. lol

 

You are missing something

After I installed the clutch kit, I couldn't get the clutch to disengage when pressing the pedal. So I jacked the rear end up and started the car in 1st gear. Then I pushed in the clutch (this didn't stop the wheels from turning, as it normally does) and lightly applied the brakes. Snap! The clutch disengaged and I could now shift into any gear using the clutch. The reason why it was sticking was that the pilot bearing that I used had a really tight fit. Anyway, no harm done and it works like a charm.

 

Ah, I got it.

 

That shouldn't have to be done, but it worked.

 

-Sounds like that would pretty much kill that tiny bearing, no?

 

No not really. I didn't slam the brakes to the floor. I tapped them and that's all it took. The bearing works great. Ask me how I know

 

usually if its just hard to get into gear but will go eventually just double clutching will do the trick but i dont know about not going in at all.

Ill just drive it and hope it will start working..
