Well lately I have been trying to go into reverse and it wont switch in where it is supposed to. I dont know if i have to push the Shifter harder but i shouldn't have to... Sometimes it is perfect and then others like today... I sat in the parking lot for 10 minutes trying to reverse out of my parking space. I dont really know what to do and I dont wanna go to the dealer right now. Its fine for now but if theres an easy way to fix it, I would be overjoyed to do it!

 

Go to the dealer. That is definately not normal.

 

let go of clutch, push in clutch again... try ____ing into reverse again... still trouble? shift into 1st.. and then shift into reverse again.

it IS normal.

 

Don't go. Next time, put it in neutral, let off the clutch, then push the clutch back in and ____ it into reverse. It should work. The teeth on the reverse gear are straight cut and not helical cut so they need to align exactly.


Drats! Insta-posted...

 

I find that if i let off on the brake and let the car roll just a few inches then it goes into reverse with no problem.

 

happens in alot of cars, follow the others advice, its just that everything is barely not lined up, get the transmission to move a tad, I shift to third and roll a tad, then go reverse.

 

Happens to me. As stated earlier. Release clutch, Press in clutch, shift to first, then back to neutral, release clutch, Press clutch, then shift into reverse......bingo!

 

I always shift into another gear before I put it in reverse. It seems to drop right in afterwards.

yea what everyone else said... no need to go to the dealer at all... i just let go of the clutch and put it back in and then shift into reverse.. it may still b a lil tough but it happens to everyone...

 

Same here, it's pretty normal.

 

Put it in 2nd gear then shift to reverse.. works like a champ for me in my tC. If that still doesn't work, I double clutch reverse and it works.

 

its in the manual. you need to double clutch to get it into reverse.

 

Thanks i got worried for a second... lol
