lols okay so ive had this problem ever since i got my car,
most times when i put my gear in reverse it will make a lil crunch noise and well then the truck noise comes on but then when i slowly start off, it wont go cos its not popped in properly but like LOL THE TRUCK NOISE CAME ON !
how to fix ? and has anyone else had this problem ?

Did happen to me a few times. I got used to feeling how it feels when it doesn't go in properly

I had the same problem and my Dad actually gave me 'work around': try putting it into gear more slowly. Worked for me, and it only crunchs now when I put it into gear to fast. Another way to fix it is clutch in touch accelerator then put it into gear.

I'd say its the same problem as 1-2 gear changes where something isn't quite right in the driveline when you change gears quickly and/or at high revs.

EDIT: yoshi beat me to it!!

all u have to do is put it in 1st gear then put it in reverse.

Be patient and wait for a couple of seconds with the clutch in before selecting it. Simple.

Your so much better at summing things up then me

Yep, exactly. Put it into first to line up the synchro's, and then gently push it into reverse.

The beep comes on when the stick is in the gate, not when reverse gear is selected in the gearbox.

First to Second gear change is different.

I'm an awful troll compared to the epicness of yourself dude. As proven by this post, as it contributes nothing to this thread.

Other than this picture of Kate Beckinsexy:



Alllllrrriiigghhhht...

However, yes you should simply clutch in and wait a couple of seconds, then just go for reverse. It'll slot straight in.

And of course always make sure the car is completely stationary.

lols thanks

^^
i do that

and when the cars cold, doesnt even wanna go into first at times, so i use 4th to line em up

yeah my crunches as well, jsut need to stop the car completely and put it in slowly =)

You know what is much hotter



hehe alllllllllllllllllllllllright

i had a similar problem on my 2003 T Sport when i got her 2 years ago. Over here the shift cables were moddified on the facelift model which came out in 2004 - i had the shift cables changed to the new part and problem solved.

nah man jessica alba is no-go LOL shes pregnant now man
honey lee OOOFFTT

Shes not pregnant, and thats the way she'll stay! ROFL

lols nah shes pregnant with twins i read

nah i read she was pregnant with my baby

**** is looks like there is more photoshop than J.alba in that photo

Reverse doesn't have synchros though, the reason why it can be hard to engage is that it has straight-cut gears, not helical like all the forward gears (which is why you get the supercharger-style whine in reverse). If straight-cut gears don't align exactly, they won't engage. Changing into first (any gear really, but first works the best) will rotate the shaft slightly and maybe line up the straight-cut teeth better.

Hiro with the answers that matter.
If 1st doesn't align them, try second. If that fails put it back into neutral and release the clutch and try again. If it still fails, drive/roll forward slightly and then repeat.

If that fails then you either don't have a reverse gear or your trying the wrong spot

I always just let it roll back a little bit or forward although sometimes I forget and crunch the **** outta the gears.

lols bad ..

fark ashy grow some balls and throw it into reverse!! =P~

Reading that over and over again, it just sounds so incredibly wrong...

gg steve lol

lmfao i try to man ! it doesnt work ! i think i need like 3 hands to help me now LMFAO ITS SO FREAKEN HARD !
you know how annoying it is to full slam my gears into place LOL let alone using 2 hands to chuck it in reverse
i hate my shortshifter, DIE !

lols edit: anyways fck u when u coming up to sydney LOL
tam said ur coming soon aye haha
well i might go melb at the end of the year & qld too, after hsc YAY

x2... i dont think we need anymore complication as there is now..

My Luxxy does it a little 2.

Just get use to it, and be gentle with it. Its like training a dog LOL!!!! Except instead of 4 legs and a tail, you get a **** load of cogs that dont wanna move when you tell em to.....

Well thats how i sum it up! LOL!

Good Luck with it!

excellent advice, thanks

no more sliding into reverse mega slow. works a treat

lmao =] BALLS ASHY!!!!

mayb u need more practice with shifting a gear stick =P HAHAHAHA

geez mayb end of year or next month tams b-day ehh

fark tams been with me for like 4 days striaght now lol but his gone back to syd now exams he says lmao

come to melb and ill drink u under the table ashy =]

ah...farking hell....looks like this issue is common in rollas. My reverse crunches every single time regardless of whether I do it gently or not. But most of the time gentle ..... *kiss*kiss*

it seems to have tantrums......

should I install a reverse sensor? it will turn into a beep orchestra in my car whenever I reverse ....

Put the clutch in and select neutral. Clutch out. Clutch in for 3 seconds (still in neutral). While the clutch is still in, push the stick over to the left as much as you can and ease it upwards, veering slightly left again when going up.

See how that works out.

lols alright buddy calm down,
yeah i heard you told tam to tell me that u said hi
lols more like ill drink you to the bed

lmao
i didint tell tam anything i swear ahaha
u can drink me to bed if u want =P
