Reply With QuoteWow lucky this happened within warranty! Good luck with the repairs!
All of a sudden my astra wont go into reverse, without lifting the clutch slightly(loading the gearbox) and crunching it in..or with the engine turned off i can roll back slowly and slot it in without crunching. Has anyone else had trouble with the reverse gear? Its at holden at the moment and as usual they are scratching their heads and are about to pull the freaking gearbox out. They have checked all of the linkages apparently, saying they are all fine.
i have spoken to my mechinic and he thought maybe the clutch release until i said it still wont go in when the engine is off.
car in still under warranty (today is the last day hehehe) but i am hoping they dont try and pull a fast one on me.

might they say "all that extra power you have there has ruined the box, not covered" ??
been to long since i drove my astra, but i know the lower models 4cyl non turbo's boxes always hit the teeth and you need to roll back or forward to get it in. engine on or off.

I sounds like the ends of the teeth on the reverse gears have worn and they can't engage. on the astra gearbox rev isn't a constant mesh gear, so the rev idler has to move up to engage rev.
What dealer is the car at? I do a lot of gearbox work for holden so they might end up sending it to me.

reverse gear has no synchro...

could the lsd have anything to do with the damage to the box?
