View Full Version : Grinding into reverse?!
As the title says, valver seems to grind a bit into reverse, all other gears are ok and reverse is sometimes just most of the time it isnt, recent new clutch cable mate did it for me about 3 weeks ago. New gear box oil also hope its not the box, also you can put a diesel box on em cant you? Anyone tried it? Bet its flat out on acceleration? Cheers anyway, just thought id get all my problems out the way, lol.
always grinds if you try to put it in straight away, ahve to wait a few seconds

^^ edit that so it makes sense will you :?
nah mate's was crunching going inot a few gears and wasn't slipping, clutch was fubared when i removed it.
Try waiting a few secs
I had a new clutch on mine like 500miles ago and it still grinds into reverse, just have to wait a few seconds and be careful with it! the last thing i want is the box to go.

I doubt it will be the clutch. I have a brand new JC5 gearbox and brand new clutch, and mine still grinds sometimes..
Like Lunner says, you have to wait a few seconds before putting it in.
Definately dont put it in when the cars still rolling forwards, ive been there before and it doesnt sound good!
