shifting problem
hello i own an 84 rx7 and i seem to have a lil problem with it. the transmission is completly rebult from the guy i bought it from but if u start the car up and u want to back up u have to shift it to 1st gear then put it in reverse or else the rear end will go clunk. i dont know why it does this its not really a big deal anymore becuase it is routine for me to shift it to 1st. I just wanted to see if anyone else experenced this problem. thanks

There are no synchros for reverse. So by putting it in 1st first, you are in essence lining up the transmission and rear end and smoothly taking up the "slack" rather than jarring it into place by immediatly putting it into reverse. You can jack up the rear end and turn the tires and hear the "slack" in the rear end.

Yeah, I just put it in 5th first. Less effort to go from one side of the shift pattern clear to the other. I just push it over there, pop it in 5th, then drop it in reverse. In my experiance, it also lines up all the stuff better so it drops into reverse fully more easily, rather than that half in half out crap.

I find it funny though that in the year that I've been here on the forum, this is the first time someone's actually bothered to ask what I'm sure many people have been *wondering* to themselves!

since it got dug up
in reply to dwarf, the different gears are different sizes so they line everything up in slightly different ways. 1st is probably closest in size to reverse so its like putting it in one gear and then a similar sized one, versus a smaller gear and then having to slightly realign it for the bigger one.
hard for me to explain but im sure you get the idea
