Reverse grind

20psi · 07-14-2002, 02:11 PM

Here's my problem. Every time I put my car in reverse it grinds or I get a clunk. I also grind into 3rd if I'm getting on it.My biggest problem is reverse, it seems the warmer or longer the car is driven the worse my problem gets (reverse).HELP

The reason for your grind into gears is the synchro assembly is worn out. But your probably going to find more things worn out, bearings, gears and other synchro assemblys, when you or a shop tears it down. The reason the trans doesnt grind(or grind as bad) when its cold is because the fluid is thicker and it protects better, when it becomes hot it gets thinner. Anyway its time for a rebuild.

TRANNYS SUCK, OURS IS THE NUMBER ONE SUCKER...

for a temporary solution (just not to grind), put in 1st gear, then to reverse. This tends to solve the problem with my reverse gear for me. but i'm getting my tranny rebuild next month.

In most transmissions your reverse doesn't have a synchro, so it's necessary to place the trans. into 1st gear before hitting reverse, otherwise it will usually grind.

this is not true your trans does have a reverse sychro.

what i do is, step on the brake all the way and the clutch all the way and put it into reverse, it usually goes in perfect then, i dunno why, but when i don't do that, it does grind
