TR6 Extreme difficulty in shifting into Reverse?

Share this page

Most of the time it would be a dragging clutch...if it grinds when going into reverse. If there is no grinding, and it just feels like you're hitting a stop, then the teeth are worn/chipped.
 
I know on my TR3 (with TR6 gearbox when I fit the 3/4" piece of rubber hose on the stick shift ,as others have done to prevent gear shift rattle, it was very hard to get the shifter in reverse. I'm thinking maybe the PO did that mod and that's the issue? Can the gaiter and rubber boot type grommets be removed without removing the carpet on the gearbox on a TR6?

It eventually goes into gear and does not stop just a great deal of effort to do that. Shifts fine thru all the other gears.
