Sticks in reverse gear

Recommended Posts

My VR6 has started sticking a bit in reverse, it goes in easily but sometimes needs a good wiggle and pull to get it out again. All the other gears are fine. Had a quick search and can only find problems with gears not going in, not the opposite!

 

What's wrong with it?

I would try and reset your linkages,lube them up on the box side,make sure its alll nice and free.

 

Try a oil change,try a fully synthetic lube/additive.

 

If all else fails then its probably a box/indent fault.

Used to get this fairly frequently on my valver until I changed to fully synthetic (VW) gearbox oil.

It's sometimes a little stiff to get out of reverse but much less frequently and not as bad when it does. When it had the mineral oil in I sometimes had to release the clutch again slightly and reverse the car a bit more to get it to release. There's nothing wrong with the box, it's just a little old and worn.
