I first encountered this issue in my 1994 Geo Metro pimped out lowrider, and I drove that car for 19 years. Now I've got a '93 Honda Del Sol, and reverse seems to be sticking point as well. Most of the time, it grinds a bit or just doesn't go in to gear no matter how hard I push the clutch. I don't car.e. I freaking love my Del Sol.

[@Picklenick0]

It does the exact same on my 93 del sol too lol. Have you ever gotten it fixed ?

[@erinpitt580]

@@QuiverWS6 if i engage brake and clutch same time, precisely for the most part it doesnt happen. very smooth. however, randomly like yesterday, i will actually have to off the engine and shift into R before clutching and then turning on again.

[@QuiverWS6]

@@erinpitt580 Thanks for the tip! I'll try that as well. Has your hatch also started rusting and/or won't open? 🤦🏿‍♂️😆

[@averyalexander2303]

That's a great tip but if you don't want to destroy your transmission I would suggest fixing this properly as soon as possible. Although the forward gears don't grind since they have synchronizers, that excessive clutch/pilot bearing drag will cause a lot of stress on the synchronizers since they will be trying to speed up/slow down the mass of the entire engine which they can not do without suffering from excessive wear. The effect is the same as not pressing the clutch fully during shifts. Once the synchronizers are worn out, the forward gears will start grinding too and the only way to fix it will be to rebuild or replace the transmission. In the long run, it's much easier and cheaper to fix the clutch problem than destroy the transmission.

Hi, mu ford fiesta 2015 always grinds and slips of reverse, nowadays it has developed new problem that is; i can not shift on forward gears from time to time. Specially no.1 gear. But about 80 % of time i can easily put on any gear. What could be causing this problem? Anyone’s help would be appreciated. Thanks

[@averyalexander2303]

@@ajrai7159 If the problem is in all the gears, it's likely the clutch is intermittently not disengaging fully. It's also possible something in the shifter or its linkages are sticking or binding. When exactly is this happening? Does this happen when you are stopped with the engine off? What about stopped with the engine running? Or only when moving?

I’m not even lying, I figured out the putting it into reverse before starting my Truck while in the process of falling asleep. I woke up excited to try it the next day and to my conclusion it worked 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@jurnalsikancil9168]

Thanks bro.. this is exactly what I was looking for..

[@Sir-Prizse]

Yes, that's exactly what I do. I usually go from second, to first and then to reverse. If I have been in first gear for a while and then go into reverse, the gearbox spins again and the reverse gear refuses. So I always shift into a synchronized forward gear and then reverse. Highlighted is this problem when it's extremely cold, than the reverse gear won't engage at all. Then I have to move off in second, move off in first and then I can change into reverse.

[@matthewnolden1886]

I have a 2014 fiat 500 and this video is for me! 70k miles. For some reason the reverse on those is made in a way that causes the gears to grind unless you do things like this. It even states exactly that at the end of the owner manual lol 😆. Love my Fiat though

[@snowcold903]

[@beefbmx]

Weird, my car has 20k miles basically new and it does this for my reverse gear. Not sure what the previous owner did. All other gears shift perfect. Guess I’ll just do this until I absolutely need to replace clutch parts

[@CharouBoi]

Get it checked out, as this will accelerate clutch wear and damage gearbox whereas if you adjust it, it should last the full lifetime of the clutch.

Car: starts Shifter: Self checks for neutral

[@MailboxReviews]

Shifting to reverse before starting the engine only masks the issue, and your car may jump in reverse and hit someone/something, You are also causing more wear on your starter/battery. As the starter motor attemptint to move the car (cause clutch is partially engaged not fully released still has some friction and attempting to move the gearbox internals) most likely your issues are in the clutch hydraulics or pedal or clutch cable if it's old car. if its hydraulics maybe it needs bleeding if air got into the fluid.

[@CharouBoi]

Thank you, I have checked and repositioned the clutch and adjusted the travel for the master cylinder with no improvement. It does not jump or move, it has a slight drag that causes the transmission to spin.

[@MailboxReviews]

@@CharouBoi if i was you, i would take extra care regardless of what is the actual issue. if it was hydraulic issue, it can go conpletely bad without warning. The next day you start your car it will jump and may hit someone / something. all of the sudden you can't predict these failures at all, sometimes they are weather related and gets worse in summer or winter due to fluid viscosity. I would keep my foot firmly on the brake pedal, have the parking brake on anytime i am in gear with clutch pushed in. Take care and stay safe, but this needs to be addressed due to safety related concerns.

[@MailboxReviews]

@@CharouBoi Could be wraped flywheel?! or has some high spots due to uneven heat or bad handling (clutch dumps, hard starts, racing) that is an extreme sitiuation though. Check to make sure the clutch fork and slave cylinder (if it was external is moving enough to release the clutch correctly) not sure if you tried bleeding the system, does the pedal have any freeplay especially at the begining from the top ? Anything can be wromg even if the Bolts torque on the flywheel and pressure plate is not enough would cause issues.

[@iCSRify]

When I go into reverse, it goes shifts in smoothly, but when I let go of the clutch, it starts to grind like crazy and does not move at all what could it be ?

[@MailboxReviews]

are you sure it's all the way into reverse, not halfway in ?! Does it happen all the time? like you no longer have reverse !? Reverse is kinda tricky on most cars, sometimes you may need to move froward few inches and re-try to go into reverse

[@iCSRify]

@@MailboxReviews to this day I still don’t have it. It’s a project car so I haven’t gotten to it yet. But yes I press the clutch all the way in, and when I let go of the clutch slightly it’ll slowly roll, once I let it go to move at “normal” speed, it grind really loud and the shifter shakes badly

[@MailboxReviews]

@@iCSRify I am not pretty sure about what i am gonna say, but check engine/transmission mounts specially in FWD Cars Since Every FWD shifter is using cables from center console shifter to the transmission, any massive play and movement of the engine due to worn out mounts can pop the car out of gear. Since the shifter is fixed in place and doesnt move to counter that action RWD is mostly shiftdr directly connected to transmission or via short and stursy rods ?! your shifter bushings could be out too, does it have massive play in side to side movement of the shift knob or while it's in gear ? up/down and side to side ?! Best of luck, with the car hopefuly it turns out to be a simple issue. i am not a mechanic by any means but i love to read about cars

[@iCSRify]

@@MailboxReviews thank you for your reply, it is an AWD WRX, with no play in movement when in any of the gears nor reverse itself, I am going to take it more than likely to a shop that specializes in Subarus, it does have a Stage 1 aftermarket clutch and aftermarket flywheel etc… maybe something is installed improperly… but the mounts was a good tip! I never thought about that. Trans fluid is good, cables are good, linkage for shifter is good, it is a weird issues that I’ve never had before. I appreciate your response and taking your time out of the day!

[@MailboxReviews]

@@iCSRify No worries, it may be worth to double check the engine mounts even though they said they were good my symptom with another fwd car(2006 Byd F3 chinese clone of the corolla) was if you popped the hood and let somsone check engine movements while handbrake is up both in reverse and 1st nothing is showing up at all, but if i tried to start from 0 with say 700-1200 RPM It shakes and clunks really bad i have to rev it to say 1600 1800 rpm and ease out on the clutch. How i discovered my mounts were bad is below. since fwd/awd cars are using what is called remote shifter, basically the shifter is always bolted down and doesn't move but the engine and gearbox has soft mounts to absorb all the vibrations, one way to test the mounts kill the engine, leave it in 1st gear on a flat surface with handbrake/parking brake off pop the hood/bonnet go outside and rock the car really hard back and forth, if you notice massive movement in the engine the mounts are shot mounts sometimes don't show any sumptoms if you rev it enough before taking off, high load and low rpm can cause vobrations and noise when accelerating from 0 since you mentioned your car rolls fine in reverse, but when you get to some speed it grinds(probably pops out of gear also) try to be really gentle when accelerating backwards, avoid sudden throttle inputs and be linear with the throttle, does it grind and tries to popout be halfway in gear? TL;DR: Check engine/Trans mount. check shifter bushings from both ends (interior of the car) and gearbox shifter cables ends i am confident it's probably mounts issue. Does holding pressure on shifter helps?! will it stop the grinding? otherwise you may have internal issue in the gearbox (shifter forks or some other stuff , i am not sure honestly) Best of Luck, Stay Safe.

Rebuild trans

[@TheJunky228]

why not just do 5th then reverse since they're above/below eachother and easier to switch quickly.between?

[@CharouBoi]

Because there is a lockout. Can only go from the lower gears. If you go from 5th to reverse, that could be dangerous as if I mistakenly think there is 6 gears when there is only 5 and try and go into reverse thinking it's 6th. The gearbox should have a lockout preventing that and the lockout disengages when in first gear enabling you to go from first to reverse safely.

[@TheJunky228]

@@CharouBoi ohhh I didn't know the lockout disengages automatically! I'm going to try that out on the manual car I just got last week

[@douglashealy]

Could also just be that your clutch cable needs adjustment, in the case of a cable clutch. Or if you have a hydraulic clutch, you might need either a new slave or master cylinder, or maybe you just need to bleed the clutch fluid.
