Subject: Re: Grinding sound when engaging reverse...


Here is the deal. The Reverse gear and the Reverse idler gears do not have syncrorings therefore when you put the car in reverse they generally do not match up without some gear movement from the shifter. What generally happens is that the continual clunk tends to eat away at the outside of the teeth on both gears. Go to First gear first and then reverse this aligns the teeth slots up intern keeping you from further chipping teeth. Hopefully this will help.
