Reverse

When i want to put the car into reverse, the car doesn't seem to like it, i mean, it won't go in without a fight, any ideas people?

Check the gear linkages for wear. Should only cost about £30 to fix.

Under neath the gaitor or under the car?

Mine slots straight in, then other times i have to take my foot off the clutch, press it again and it usually works.

Hi,

I think Danr is right.

Check your gear linkage rods especially if you are having problems selecting reverse and/or 5th, these wear with time.

Check and adjusting the clutch cable may help also.
