wont go into reverse?
'89 NA manual doesnt want to go into reverse for some reason. i just swapped in a new engine/trans and i it (the new trans) would go into all the gears before i put it in the car but no dice now. is there an adjustment to these things or possibly something wired up wrong?
any help appreciated.

pull the shifter & check for debris (like pieces of the bushings or springs) down in the housing...make sure the spring/ plunger setup on the left side of the housing is not jammed (don't know if you can get to the cover plate for that with the tranny in, though)...can you get it in 5th O.K.?

Well, mine is doing the same thing... it's usually just old transmission syndrome. It can be helped by using certain oils or Lucas additive, but it just wants a rebuild.

Sounds like you forgot to put a washer on your reverse lights sensor.
