Hi, posted in general Tech with no joy


.....sometimes after a 'spirited' drive i seem to have trouble getting the car into reverse, any idea what this is? its a my95 STi BTW

not a new gearbox pllllllease!!!

cheers

 

Poss syncro but have heard many people with the same problem

If you have booted it for quite some time the oil can get hot and gloopy giving problems. Mate's Cat 7 had probs in nearly all gears after run on the track.

Suggest changing gearbox oil first and try it out then

Oh, edited to say do a search in drivetrain many posts including some from me, not reverse but third to fourth. New oil and sweet no probs

 

right oh, fingers crossed the oil will sort her out then!

thanks for the info mate!

 

My 2003 WRX is the same. I double d' clutch to get reverse gear, even from cold.

What ever you do dont force it into reverse. If you select 3rd first then reverse it usually slots in fine. Try it.

 

[GreaseMonkey mode on] Something wrong with General Technical?[GreaseMonkey mode off]

 

sarcasam mode on--- dunno mate, but is there something wrong with your eyes??? read my first sentence..... ----- sarcasm mode off

 

double d clutch?? is that when you clutch it in neutral, release, then clutch again and select reverse??? excuse my ignorance...?

 

wez_sti maybe if you had posted in the correct forum in the first place and remained patient, you would have got an answer eventually...

Engine, exhausts, gearbox, diffs, air filters etc
