No Reverse and bad noises...

The way the tranny shifts into reverse is kinda weird if a pin ar a detent ball came loose in the linkage it would probly shift into 5th instead of reverse.

I have a 90 FWD tranny sitting here if you need a different one.

I sent you a pm regarding that trans.


If something broke in the linkages inside the trans, why would the car move forward when the levers on the outside physically go in reverse and every gear shifts like butter? On the outside, driving it, it feels just like it should.

I found something that might be of interest regarding the shifter cables:

Reverse:



5th Gear:



On those two gear it looks perfectly normal to me. Now, look when the top cable moves the gear selector down into the first and 2nd gear slot.

1st Gear:



See how the boot stays the same? Is that normal?

Reverse works now I guess. All I did was unhook the cables under the hood completely, only then could I manually put it in reverse under the hood. Hooked the cables back up and test drove it, all seems well now.

I'm going to swap turbos back to my 14b cause the 16g is junk shit. I'm hoping thats all my problem is. Otherwise it might be the starter too. Gotta drop the damn pan too.
