Reverse doesn't have a synchronizer that's why if you try to put it into reverse while you're moving it'll grind to hell lol...

Depends on the shop if you dunno what you're doing...

OK I had the very same problem twice now actually. It's the syncro and the 5th gear assembly. It was like that when I bought my stang, fixed it...barely a year later started again...I just bought a new tranny for like $260 off eBay lol. I've had my tranny off my car so many time I can do it blind folded. Me and dad actually timed it and did a complete tranny swap in 31 mins lol.

I can't wait to swap this out for a t56 with viper specs or t6060

same problem with my 2001 trans. Have to punch it into first and reverse sometimes, pisses me off
