ocked out of reverse 1st and 2nd

[jdv95tsi]

Hey guys ive recently picked up a 1995 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD. When i got the car out of Vancouver the flywheel was loose so i pulled it home took it all apart, slammed a new flywheel and bolts so i put it all together and i had no reverse first or second. Reverse seems like something is blocking it i cant even get it into the reverse position. So I pulled it apart for a second time, come to find out i had a broken shifter fork. So i bought a new one put it all together. So now i can get third fourth and fifth and no first and second or reverse. I read many other forums on people experiencing similar problems and most got away with tightening the linkage bracket. I checked mine and all seems to be fine, but something i notice is i have a lot of left to right slop even when I'm in gear. I found it odd reverse wont go into its position at all like its in a bind. so pretty much I'm a stop here lost as to where to go from here. i tried putting it into reverse with the car off still seems like its blocked from going in, its my only car at the moment so i really need to get it going any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks, James

If you had a broken shift fork you may have other issues inside. How far did you disassemble? Have you tried shifting at the transmission levers?

I had it completely apart from bottom to top replaced a few pins and checked all the forks replaced the one but something still locking me out there is allot of left to right slop witch i don't know if that will affect me cause im not getting enough motion for second. Yeah i manually shifted it on the ground and in the car thing is i don't know which gear is where because you can pull it up, down, left and right so I'm so lost also something i was wondering, the little fork that bolts to the tranny to pull it up and down I notice there's a little ear on the bracket goes under or inside something i don't know if i got it in there right or not. Appreciate your reply thanks hopefully I can fix this

There is a small white block that goes on the levers. This might be where your slop is. Look closely and you'll understand.

no. The parts blowup is in the factory manual

Ok i found the white peice that fell off and got it on there the right way ok now i got it into 1st gear and let the clutch out it moved the i went to second and it grinds then tried going back to first and it acts like its not there so 2nd grinds 3rd grinds 4th goes in and 5 goes in and still no reverse im getting so agitated at this car my first dsm and already has me going crazy. Also about an hour ago i got it into 3rd and i drove down the road and i shifted 4th on the way back and couldnt get it back into 3rd and my clutch just fell to the floor so i pulled it up to the top and it went back to normal then feel right back down. Whats the chances that my slave has gone hay wire?

Pretty high I'd say - need to check it, bleed it, and adjust clutch as in this Proper Clutch Adjustment video: Jacks Transmissions LLC — Tech Articles

Also the select lever shoe (white piece) wears down severly so measure it and compare to this: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/mai...t-fifth-gear-grinding-help.html#post152266167
