But for my part, I can tell you about getting it into reverse-- if it doesn't go in at first, try putting it in neutral, letting out the clutch for a moment, then putting clutch in, put it in first, and then reverse. My understanding is that letting out the clutch in neutral will spin the transmission, and taking it to reverse via first will ensure that the transmission is stopped (reverse has no synchro on the c900). In fact, I think it's a good idea to go to reverse via first as a general practice, as a worn reverse gear is a fairly common problem AFAIK. John 1992 900s NA
