I'm not the one with a problem this time :)

 

I met some1 at the petrol station the other day, he's just bought a 300zx too, and half hour after buying it he lost reverse.. he asked me to put a quick post on here if I didn't mind..

 

Is this a common problem in these? Is there a solenoid that allows you to select reverse (to stop you jamming it in reverse while going at speed, maybe?)

 

he can't physically select reverse.

 

Or is this a linkage / gearbox problem?

 

Thanks for any ideas

Possibly the lock out spring is at fault bud

Agree with Bigman,

Haven't had any problems with mine personally, but had a friend with a 300zx manual NA, had the same problem, It's either the lock out spring or the box has got out of sync. He went without reverse for a couple of weeks while the car was waiting to be booked in, then he started loosing other gears, namely 1st 3rd and 5th.

Ok thanks for the replies, I'll let him know
