Guest alexob53 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I hope this message finds you well. I have recently had issues with my 5-speed gear linkage in the TC. The car was usually difficult to shift into reverse, but it always went. Then one time it would not go into reverse, and since then it has been unable. All forward gears are working and I can shift into them. I have heard about some of the linkage bushings being worn causing this problem, but I have also investigated and found that the linkage appears to be slipping at the coupling point where it enters the transaxle. I have tried tightening but it seems very tight. I have attached a video to show the slipping if you look closely. Has anyone had similar issues and how were they solved? Thank you! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3dRRqWZYSB6OWVHaUZqRjJnVjA/view?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mensanguy Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 It looks like that the bolt and nut combo that holds the shifter to the rod is loose, and needs to be tightened, I see a lot of play there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nile Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 The same thing occurred in my car. The fix turned out to be very simple - exactly what mensanguy suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
