Ok today i fitted my powertrix tension rods and all was jolly.... the last of my suspenison mods are done, so it was time to take the zed to nexus for my rebuild woohooo.

 

I arrive there just outside and say high to scott, "HI" I atempt to park the car and throw it in reverse but :eek: NOPE :headvswal doesnt wanna go in reverse now:( bugger..

scott says he will have a look at the box when its out, but we both know its buggered.

So now im on the look out for a used manual box.

I was a bit shocked and confused as ive not had any probs with reverse before and this was a first. all other gears are fine.....

 

Its a bit strange isnt it?

 

Anyways the show must go on so everything is still underway.

what makes you think its screwed?? apart from the fact it wont go into reverse. Does it just grind or what?

It doesnt grind, it just wont budge.... Im hoping to god its just jammed or something is stuck or a link is bust.....

Maybe a bit of clutch adjustment will work ?

mate, it could be something as simple as a release bearing. Dont get yourself wound up just yet

is it nothing you have done whilst jacking it up or changng parts

If it was clutch/release bearing/linkage related it would have probs with other gears but it doesnt, its only reverse so its probably something internal which is not fun at all.

Theres some hope, i just did a search and came up with this.... seems there is a reverse block spring :D
