Hard To Get Into Reverse

[chrisxr8]

been having a few probs getting my t56 into reverse of late. te car has been modified so ford here dont wont to touch the car. any ideas on what it could be.

maybe the reverse lockout not getting power?

What does it do exactly. does it do it all the time cold or hot

Best way to test you lock out it to start the car and try shifting it into the reverse gate WITHOUT depressing the clutch. It should not go over.

Now depress the clutch and depending where you are and if you have the window down you should hear a little click and you should be able to shift into the gate. this should tell you if the lockout is nackerd

If still no good you may need to change the oil. I wacked in castrol transmax Z the other week and farken hell is the shift quality better

hot or cold car off or on same thing every time. I hear the click but it is just really hard to shift to reverse all other gears seem good.

It could be the edit tune - jetute had the same problem with one of his. (wrong gearbox selected or something)

Has it just started happening or has it always been a problem since your last tune?

Hard to get into reverse neutral gate from 5th-6th neutral gate= reverse lockout problem.

Hard to get into reverse once in the reverse neutral gate= possibly clutch or associated drag. Where does the clutch engage as you release it off the floor? I would try bleeding the clutch fluid through till it comes clean. Ben.
