No reverse?
well i dont know. all my gears work including 5th, but i cant get it to go into reverse. its like there is a reverse lockout mechanism. when i pull it straight down from 5th, it goes into nuetral but no further. wont ever try to go down to the reverse spot. please help, thanks, scott

But on a good note, I've found that I did some VERY creative driving

its not necessarily a blown synchro, especially if you just started your car up one day and it wouldn't go in. if that was the case its more likely a roll pin or something fell out of the shift fork and just needs to be replaced. that is a much easier job, though it still requires pulling the tranny.

Damn...Slopoke you are pulling out the tranny yourself??? Man...much props to you! I had the opposite
problem...I sometimes couldn't get out of Reverse---how about that? And then my 5th gear grinded like my teeth when I went to the dentist...So I finally took to R and R rotary in Upland(So.CAL) and they did a rebuilt for about $500.00 bones. They replace all the synchros and the rest of the good stuff...Well good luck!
