sometimes out trannies wont go into reverse. i dont know what causes it but what i do is i let the clutch out really slowly untill you fell it go in. or just roll forward a little and it should go in.

remember its better to put a car in reverse slowly than it is fast.

Well switching from 5th to reverse it wont let you at all.

Mine is alittle sticky sometimes to you just have to play with it alittle, its getting old and in need of a rebuild.
