reverse has always worked fine, but today, I drove around for like 2 hours, then parked. I them left after about a hour or so, and I couldn't get it into R. I had to take both hands and force the shifter past the lock out, and then into gear, and it stayed perfectly, no problems. Now I have to do that every time I need to put the car in reverse, wtf is the matter? I also noticed once at a light I couldn't keep the car from rolling forward in gear with the clutch in, without the brake on, but if it was in N with the brake off, it wouldn't roll... As if the clutch wasn't fully disengaging...

Smelly Elec says it sounds like a hydraulic problem or a pressure plate problem.

I figured wally would have a funny comment about t56's and R haha..
So could it possibly be that I just need to bleed my clutch?

Better start shutting off the car before putting it in reverse or you'll need a trans rebuild along with hyds. and clutch.

Why would it only do it in R if it was a clutch problem?

BTW, someone asked me to try it with the car off, it's the same exact feeling as when the car is running.

I forgot to mention, as it totally slipped my mind, that every once and a while car would grind going into reverse, but it hasn't done that for a long time...
I have no idea how many miles are on the clutch, 145,000 on the car
It seems to me ( although I know nothing ) that its the reverse lockout feature that's getting me, b/c the clutch grabs great 1-6, I can take it to 30mph, put it in sixth, and floor it, and it doesn't slip, and it grabs great on hard up shifts too. The problem is not getting into Reverse itself, its getting over to the right far enough to get in line with reverse. You have the 4 little 'paths', 1 being first and second, the next is third and forth, fifth and sixth, then the last one with just reverse, that's the one I cant get into easily, but once I get inline with reverse, I can slid it up into gear no problem... I can get into every other gear just fine...
also just did a bit of reading around, mainly on sites geared towards lt1/t56 swaps in third gens, and was reading along and seen were they were talking about the reverse lockout. They were saying how if they were going to not hook up the reverse lockout on their swaps, and how it would have to push it past the springs that are the reverse lock out... I was under the car the other day looking at some stuff and replacing o2 sensors, and trying to find were my 02 sims were , and I did push aside a bit of wiring, so Im hoping I just knocked something loose, and it just took 2 days to finally pop off completely..

Fluid levels are good, and the fluid is clear... Reverse lockout appears to still be hooked up, but is their anyway to test the 'noid without removing it?  |

It wouldnt be reverse lockout if it acts the same with the car off.. When the car is off u should be able to do whatever you want.

well i have no voltage to the lockout when the car is on, or off, so that would mean that the noid ( being normaly closed ) is closed 100% of the time. Tomorrow I gotta see if I cant give it 12 volts and see if it clicks. I just want to get the small things ruled out first. I called t56 rebuilds today and they told me to rule this out, and if its not that they belive it to be a slider... grrr... Good thing they have free shipping to and from them this month..

Torque is great but horsepower wins races.

horsepower is measured and derived from a equation using torque, so without torque, there is nothing.

Next time it is hard shifting into reverse put it back in neutral take your foot off the clutch for a second then step on the clutch again and try shifting it. I also had a problem with mine grinding while going into reverse, I found out if I shift into first before shifting into reverse it will not grind.

It wasnt a problem getting into reverse, it was a problem getting the shifter far enought to the right, the RLO 'noid wasn't operating * blown fuse, doh * and holding it out of R.

Its a makes a huge diff. My previous car was a 2000 celica gts 6spd and you have to rev it like crazy to even get it moving. It defiantly does not throw you back in your seat like my stang does ;D. Also driving around town in a car that gets all its hp/trq at high rpms sucks because unless you are racing it, it feels like you are driving a geo metro.
