No reverse? Help.

Alright I just finished my install and first start up on my 91 Gsx. Went to put in reverse gear and nothing but a grind, would'nt even try to let me in gear. I installed a brand new clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder. Bled it out and still have the issue. We backed the nut on the adjustment rod almost all the way out and brought it back in. I am in the dark here, any suggestions would be awesome.

Is the washer under the reverse switch? It needs to be the specific one that is designed for it from Mitsubishi. If the washer is not there, you just wrecked your reverse switch, and will need a new reverse switch and washer from Mitsubishi.

Hey Tim, I have'nt looked yet. Is the reverse switch on the trans itself?

Yes, the reverse switch is on the outside of the transmission; below the MAF is a black plug that gets attached to the top of the transmission; that is the reverse switch.

It sounds like you are having clutch dragging issues though from the PM you sent me though. That would also cause the no-reverse issue. Especially since the car was rolling forward with the clutch pedal down in gear. Adjust that master cylinder rod and re-bleed the clutch hydraulics if necessary.

Kinda like in the Jack Transmission vid on youtube?

Yea a little adj on the clutch helped. Now it sounds like a popcorn machine when I sit at idle when the clutch not engauged.
