22282, shifting into reverse
Posted by eclipse_99rs, May-04-02 10:23 PM
i was just wondering if anyone else has a problem shifting into reverse? M/T i have to leave my foot on the brake and let out the clutch while pulling back on the shifter to put my car in reverse.

Do what I do, if it doesn't want to go in, MAKE IT GO IN :)

all you have to do if it doesn't go into reverse, is keep it in neutral pop the clutch out (while the engine is running).. push it back in and then it should go right into gear. if not. then (if you happen to be on a slight incline) then just let the car roll a half a foot and then put it into reverse, it should go right in. That's a big problem with MTX ZX2's also.
