Probably a piece of metal blocking reverse gear shifter inside the tranny. Perfect opportunity to change 5th synchro.

I had the same problem, I looked into rebuilding the tranny but for me it was considerably cheaper to buy a JDM, it was roughly half the price. PM Japan2LA he has great prices and shipping if you are considering replacing it.

Thanks for the referral

Replace it.. with a low mile Jspec trans with the better 5th gear..

495.00 plus shipping and paypal fee
Still cheaper than a rebuild!!

Shipping is very reasonable to Hawaii, I get a great deal with Dependable Hawaiian Exspress..

Pm me if you need it.. I have about 20 of them in inventory now. All low miles, under 30,000..
