[DML] Re: Can't Get Reverse With My D Manual Transmission

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Most of what you have to get to is only accessable from underneath.
First of all I have to assume you know how to get into reverse. You
must lift the knob up to get past the gate which is supposed to
prevent getting into reverse accidently. Generally most shifting
problems are fixed by properly adjusting the linkage. In some cases
you have to dismantle, clean, lubricate, reassemble, and then adjust.
The worst case is damage to the shifting mechanism inside the
transmission, usually from forcing it into gear because of the plastic
clutch line. You have to remove and dismantle the trans to replace the
worn roll pin. Easy to check. Disconnect the linkage on the
transmission. You should be able to shift it easily right at the
trans. If you can't then you may have to go in and fix it. If it does
shift easily the problem is in the linkage and that is more easily
fixed. The linkage under the car is not "covered up" but you do have
to work in a small area.
