i have an 04 evo. I can go forward just fine through all the gear. I can't go reverse. Try every test, i can let go of the clutch all the way and car still wouldn't move and the engine still running. WEIRD. When i put it reverse it doesn't feel like it's lock in gear. HELP please

 

Check your cable, sounds like its adjustment is fouled up and not fully engaging all the way to reverse.. Had you altered anything with the shifter recently? (Bushings, adjustments, etc?)

Have the console apart recently for any reason? Anything get hung up in there? (New wires or whatnot)

 

nope, busgins and cable are fine i even adjust my pedal way high too.

 

Did you ever get a fix for this problem? My reverse is completely locked out also, and i just had a ACT clutch installed a week before.

 

wow old thread. yeah i got a Shep Tranny problem fixed.

 

So what exactly was the problem though? Was it the tranny, synchros, clutch, cable? Im stuck with this brand new clutch and no reverse!

 

Adjust the clutch rod and get a new clutch. It will save you a lot of headache in the future...

 

I have a new clutch, it had only 400 miles on it when reverse locked out.

 

his tranny goes into reverse but as soon as you try to move it ginds and pops out of gear....

 

^^ That is exactly what mine does. Its at a shop right now, and they cant figure out what is causing it unless they drop the tranny again.

 

Old thread but any others have similar problems and a possible cause/fix?
